FERMI AND JANSKY - OUR EVOLVING UNDERSTANDING OF AGN
Nov 10-12, 2011
Harbourtowne Conference Center, St. Michaels, MD, USA
http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/fermi_jansky/
=========================================================
Dear Colleague,
We are delighted to announce a workshop "Fermi and Jansky - Our
Evolving Understanding of AGN" to be held at the Harbourtowne
Conference Center in lovely St. Michaels, MD from Nov 10th through
12th. Participants are expected to arrive on the evening of the 9th,
and the meeting is expected to finish at lunchtime on the 12th.
Scientific rationale:
A large number of exciting results from the marriage of gamma-ray and
radio data has made the last couple of years uniquely fulfilling for
students of active galactic nuclei. Three years into the Fermi era it
is time to step back and reassess our science goals based on what we
have learned so far. Additional progress is likely to need new
theoretical studies and modified observing strategies. This meeting
will bring together observers, theoreticians and modelers to reframe
and recalibrate the questions to be addressed while Fermi is observing
and specify the types of data that can best answer them.
Logistics:
The registration and abstract submission will open on August 11th, 2011.
The number of participants is limited to 40 to facilitate discussions so
you are encouraged to register early.
The meeting will take place at the Harbourtowne Conference Center
(http://www.harbourtowne.com/) in the historic town of St. Michaels
(it dates back to the mid-1600s, practically pre-historic by US
standards), which is located on Maryland's storied Eastern Shore about
halfway between the Susquehanna River and the Atlantic mouth of the
Chesapeake Bay. Directions to the hotel from all three area airports
are at: http://www.harbourtowne.com/harbourtowne-directions.html.
A block of rooms has been pre-booked at the hotel. Please print and
fill out the booking form, sign it, and either fax it to
+1-301-286-1681 (Attention: Lynette Queen) or scan and email it to
lynette.queen_at_nasa.<!--nospam-->gov. There is a conference fee of US$210 payable at
the same time and using the same form as your hotel booking. Please
note that this covers the cost of all meals during the meeting. An
accompanying partner can be accomodated for an additional $61 per day
($183 for all three days) to cover their meals. These rooms are only
available at this special rate till SEPTEMBER 9TH so please be sure to
book by that date. This form and other details are on the conference
website at http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/fermi_jansky/ For any
questions the contact email address is Roopesh.Ojha_at_gmail.<!--nospam-->com.
