Hosted by the Chandra X-ray Center
July 11-13, 2007
Sheraton Commander Hotel
Cambridge, Massachusetts
WORKSHOP GOALS
- -review progress afforded by X-ray grating spectroscopy
of extragalactic and galactic sources
-
-compare/contrast physical conditions, estimates of location, geometry
and kinematics of X-ray emitters/absorbers, encompassing collisionally- and photo-excited gas across different source
types
-
-review and compare available atomic data and codes
-
-provide a forum for discussion of:
-
-controversial or unexpected new results
- -potential new strategies for Chandra/XMM grating observations?
SCOPE of the MEETING
-
INCLUDE:
-
* New high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy results from the latest
observations of extragalactic and galactic sources
- * Deep IGM studies
-
* Related medium-resolution X-ray spectroscopy results from current
satellites
-
* Theoretical interpretations and modeling issues
-
* Spectroscopic studies in conjunction with other wavebands
-
* The future of X-ray spectroscopy
-
EXCLUDE:
-
* Results and discussions based primarily on X-ray imaging or timing results
-
In addition to the invited speakers program there will time for a number of
contributed talks. Space for poster papers will also be available.
