Welcome
The international conference The Many Faces of Centaurus A aims at bringing together a broad range of astronomers and high-energy physicists that traditionally form separate research communities. The radio galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) has attracted great interest from the international astrophysics and high energy physics communities since its discovery as a radio source 60 years ago. Yet this will be the first conference devoted to this intriguing source. Please see the Science Rationale for more information.
