Mini-Symposium "X-ray Astronomy from the Local Bubble to AGN"
Date and Place:
Scientific Programme:
Motivation and Scientific Topics:
Part 1: X-rays of Galactic origin
The first part of the Mini-Symposium "X-ray Astronomy from the
Local Bubble to AGN" is dedicated to observations and theory of diffuse
soft X-rays of mainly Galactic origin. Special emphasis is given to new
observational results obtained with the observatories XMM-Newton, Chandra
as well as ROSAT and Beppo-Sax.
On the theoretical side we welcome new ideas and models to describe
and interpret these new high spectral resolution data.
Topics to be covered are:
Local Bubble
Supernova remnants and Superbubbles
Soft X-ray background
Galactic halos (e.g. chimneys, galactic fountains and winds)
Soft X-ray spectral analysis (e.g. plasma emission models)
Part 2: The Local Group and Nearby Galaxies
One third of the mini symposium will be dedicated to
"The high energy view of Local Group and other Nearby Galaxies"
with emphasis on new results obtained from the two major X-ray observatories
Chandra and XMM-Newton and the ongoing missions Beppo-SAX and RXTE.
The improved imaging and spectral capabilities will enable the
Determination of temperatures and abundances of the hot
interstellar medium in galaxies
Studies of individual structures, such as SNRs and supershells
Multi-phase structure and evolution
of the interstellar medium over the entire galaxy
The X-ray point source population at deep flux limits
Part 3: Active Galactic Nuclei
X-ray observations of active galaxies and quasars currently provide the most powerful
way to explore the immediate environments of
supermassive black holes. Our ability to probe these environments underwent a
revolution with the launches of Chandra and
XMM-Newton. The high throughput and excellent spectral cababilities of the new
generation of X-ray observatories allow more precise
investigations at the forefront of active-galaxy/quasar X-ray research and have
already revealed many new and unexpected
observational results.
Scientific topics include:
New and recent X-ray findings on AGN
X-ray spectroscopy of accretion disk spectra and the circumnuclear AGN environment
Fe K line profiles
High z quasars
Abstract submission:
-
Researchers and students are invited to participate and submit
abstracts no later than July 13, 2001.
All abstracts will be published in the abstract series of the AG.
Therefore it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to use the special style files
provided under
Abstract template.
Since time for oral presentations is VERY limited, we also ask
participants to consider poster presentations.
The SOC will inform all participants in due time on the selection
of papers and their form of presentation.
Please use first the REGISTRATION FORM at the end of this page to submit
your contribution to the SOC of the
Mini-Symposium "X-ray Astronomy from the Local Bubble to AGN".
Please do not forget to register also at the JENAM conference. The registration
at the end of this page IS NOT REPLACING the JENAM registration.
Detailed information on the JENAM 2001 conference can be found at:
JENAM 2001 main web page .
Please check this page for updates, e.g. selection talks and poster contributions.
