Dark Universe Workshop at MPE 6.-7.05.2004
Description of the Workshop...
The workshop focuses on X-ray and related studies of the content
of deep X-ray surveys, the astrophysics of galaxy clusters, and the intergalactic
medium. The meeting follows the tradition of the Japanese-German X-ray
astrophysical workshop that originally started with the aim to exploit
the complementary X-ray observational approach with the ASCA abd ROSAT
satellites. Now the interests have of course shifted to an exchange of
expertise of working with XMM-Newton and Chandra data and to prepare for
the use of ASTRO-E-II and to discuss the results obtained in general.
At this stage, quite a number of important results habe been harvested
with XMM-Newton and Chandra, calibrations and data reduction procedures
have become more stable, and the archives have been filled substantially
so that science questions can be approached by the analysis of larger study
samples. This is a good time to review the first set of implications drawn
from these advanced X-ray observations and to discuss further strategies
and goals as well as prospects for future X-ray missions.
The special atmosphere of the Ringberg castle is particularly promoting
discussions beyond the scheduled sessions and we will do our best to avoid
the rushing atmopshere of large conferences. Posters in addition to the
talks are welcome. Please indicate that you would like to present a poster
in advance so that we can prepare for it. Please provide us with the details
of your travel plans and requests on the the reply
form obtained from here.

Venue...
The venue for the workshop is
Schloß
Ringberg (Ringberg Castle), a turn of the century castle located
in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, and overlooking the Tegernsee. Located
about 70 km south of Munich, the Tegernsee is a beautiful lake surrounded
by mountains and small resort villages. The peaceful location, meeting
schedule, and attendance limit of 50 set by the size of the castle are
all conducive to an informal workshop atmosphere offering many opportunities
for stimulating discussion. The scientific sessions will begin on Monday,
3 May 2004 at 9 AM, and end on Wednesday afternoon, 5 May 2004.

Travel Arrangements...
Travel to Schloß Ringberg: Participants will have to travel
from Munich, into the Bavarian pre-alps by rail to Tegernsee, from where
we plan to have a mini-bus to ferry participants from the railway station
at Tegernsee to Ringberg Castle on Sunday and Monday. Similar arrangements
will be made for the return connections Wednesday aofternoon. The trip
by rail from Munich to Tegernsee will take about one and a half hours.
The minibus shuttle between Tegernsee and Ringberg will take ~20 minutes.
Earliest possible arrival at the castle is 15:00 on Sunday 2 May.
Arriving in Bavaria by air: The Munich Franz-Josef Strauss Airport
(MUC) lies approximately 17
km and 30 km north-east of Garching and Munich, respectively. For participants
arriving in the area already on Friday or Saturday the LOC can recommend
and attempt to arrange for hotel accommodations in Munich.
Airport train transfer:
1)From Munich Airport (Flughafen Muenchen) to Munich main train station
(Muenchen Hauptbahnhof, abbreviated as Muenchen Hbf), using the S1 or S8
metro
(.pdf file) lines;
2) From Munich main train station (Muenchen Hauptbahnhof, abbreviated
as Muenchen Hbf) to Tegernsee, using the BOB trains.
Train connections between Munich main train station (Muenchen Hauptbahnhof,
abbreviated as Muenchen Hbf) and Tegernsee, using the BOB trains can be
investigated using the German railways (Deutsche Bahn, DB) web-based
travel service. When using the English version of this service, the
entries to use are: "Munich Airport", "Munich" (for the main train station)
and "Tegernsee".
Airport bus transfers:
Alternatively, and possibly more useful for those who plan to spend
some days in downtown Munich before or after the Ringberg workshop, there
is a "Lufthansa Airport Bus" coach service
which collects passengers outside terminal A (every 20 minutes between
06:17 and 21:37, daily); terminal D (every 20 minutes between 06:25 and
21:45, daily) and the central area, Z (every 20 minutes between 06:20 and
21:40, daily) of Munich Airport. This service goes direct to Munich main
train station in circa 45 minutes, stopping once en route at Nordfriedhof
U6 metro station in the Schwabing district, North of Munich. Return
journeys operate at simlar frequency. Adult single: 9 Euro. Adult return
14.50 Euro.
Arriving in Bavaria by train: Munich's main train station (Muenchen
Hauptbahnhof,
area map
, main
station map) can be reached from anywhere within Europe. From here,
there are good public transportation connections to all of Munich. There
are even railway connections to Tegernsee, in the vicinity of Schloß
Ringberg.
Train connections between Munich main train station (Muenchen Hauptbahnhof,
abbreviated as Muenchen Hbf) and Tegernsee, using the BOB metro
trains can be investigated using the German railways (Deutsche Bahn,
DB) web-based
travel service. When using the English version of this service, the
entries to use are: "Munich Airport", "Munich" (for the main train station)
and "Tegernsee".
Alternatively, we have text files of:
Timetable for outbound trains from Munich
main train station (Muenchen Hbf.) to Tegernsee
for
Sunday afternoon and evening 2 May 2004;
Timetable for return trains from Tegernsee
to Munich main train station (Muenchen Hbf.) for
Wednesday afternoon 5 May 2004.
Note that in all cases, you will need to buy the appropriate ticket
for your journey at the airport ticket desk (Fahrscheine) before
descending to the platform and boarding the train. Further details regarding
travel to Ringberg from Munich airport (in particular about navigating
through Munich central train station) are available in the Arriving
at Schloss Ringberg page, however we reproduce some useful maps below
for convenience.
Arriving in Bavaria by car:
Schloß Ringberg is located about 70 km SE of Munich. For
those interested in driving directly to the castle on Sunday, 2 May
the LOC can send out detailed maps and instructions in advance of the workshop.
There is ample parking at the castle. For those staying in Munich either
before or after the workshop, note that parking can be a problem in the
city center. For those who wish to drive their own cars, maps of the Munich
and Tegernsee areas are provided below.
Maps...
Map 1: Munich area to Tegernsee area by road...
Map 2: Location of Schloss Ringberg in Tegernsee area...
Visas...
For those participants from countries requiring a visa to enter
Germany, it is best to start the application procedure several months before
the workshop. Please check with your local German Consulate or travel agent
for information about required travel documents.
Accommodation & Meals...
During the workshop, most participants will be lodged at Ringberg
Castle. The castle has 34 bedrooms, 7 of which can be used as doubles.
The cost for the 3 night stay at the Castle including all meals except
Sunday dinner will be about Euro 300 per person. Special dietary requests
are happily accommodated provided advance notice is given. If you have
any requests (e.g. vegetarian meals) please indicate this on the ASCII
form.
The LOC will make arrangements for lodging during the conference for
all participants and their accompanying persons, as desired. We will do
our best to adhere to everyone's wishes.
For participants wishing to stay in Bavaria before/after the Ringberg
workshop, the LOC can recommend and attempt to assist with booking accommodation.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any requests. Unfortunately,
we cannot make reservations for extended side trips. Room rates for hotels
in the Munich/Garching area range from Euro 90-220 for singles or doubles.
Credit cards are now accepted at most hotels including Ringberg Castle.
We will notify you if there are exceptions to this. Participants should
indicate all their lodging preferences on the ASCII
form.
Social Events...
An excursion to Schloss
Neuschwanstein is planned for interested participants and their guests
on Wednesday afternoon. Details will be provided later when we know that
there is enough interest.
Dark Universe Workshop at MPE 6.-7.05.2004
Following the Ringberg Workshop, a workshop on "The Dark Universe"
will be held at MPE in Garching on 6.-7.5.2004.
