abstract: The topic of the workshop will cover astrophysical black holes (from supermassive to stellar), primordial and miniblack holes, both experimentally, phenomenologically and theoretically. Black holes are of utmost interest because they are likely to represent nowadays the most important clue to quantum gravity. Particular emphasis will be given to quantum aspects of black holes both from string theory and general relativity approach. The workshop programme will also contain a few introductory lectures on the most important topics concerning black holes.

08 Sep 2008 → 12 Sep 2008; Leiden , Netherlands
organizer: Lorentz Center

abstract: In the past decade has seen massive progress in the observational evidence for the interconnection between gas cooling and re-heating in cluster cores, particularly in the X-ray, mid-infrared and sub-mm regimes. We would like to take the opportunity just before the launch of Herschel, ESAs new far-infrared space observatory, to take stock of the latest observational and theoretical work on cooling flows. With new facilities such as ALMA and SOFIA also beginning operations, we see the workshop as an opportunity to stimulate the best proposals and collaborations to exploit these new opportunities.

15 Sep 2008 → 19 Sep 2008; Amsterdam , Netherlands

abstract: You are invited for the 5-day workshop in order to continue the development and discuss the future of MUSE - a Multi-scale Multi-physics Software Environment. The purpose of MUSE is to realistically model dense stellar systems such as young star clusters and galactic nuclei (see http://muse.li). Important steps had been taken over the last two years at previous workshops, most recently in Split, Croatia, in August 2007, where we accomplished to complete a working interface to connect a complete set of base codes. During this next meeting we plan to demonstrate the capabilities of MUSE by simulating a star cluster including stellar dynamics, stellar evolution as well as stellar collisions.

16 Sep 2008 → 24 Sep 2008; Erice, Italy

abstract: Hot and dense nuclear matter plays an important role in the quark-hadron transition shortly after the big bang, in the element production in stars and the interior of neutron stars. The properties of such matter under extreme conditions can be studied in heavy-ion collisions.

Several countries operate facilities or have plans to build new accelerator systems to investigate hot and dense nuclear matter in heavy-ion collisions. Such facilities are located in RIKEN near Tokyo, at GSI in Darmstadt, at GANIL in Caen and at MSU in East Lansing. For extremly relativistic energies, heavy-ion beams are available at 200 GeV per nucleon in the center of mass system at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) in Brookhaven and even higher energies will be available at 14 TeV at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in the ALICE experiment at CERN in Geneva. Erice 2008 "Heavy Ion Collisions from the Coulomb Barrier up to the Quark Gluon Plasma" will be devoted to the physics at these facilities and will explore future plans at the GSI Darmstadt (FAIR) and at the "Future Isotope Science Facility" at MSU in the States.

abstract: XEUS, the next generation X-ray observatory, has been selected as a candidate Large-class mission as part of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme. Active study of the XEUS concept by ESA and JAXA is now underway in preparation for the Cosmic Vision downselection, expected at the end of 2009. The purpose of this workshop is to gather together members of the astronomical community with an interest in XEUS, to discuss the science we expect to be enabled by the mission.

topics: Evolution of black hole accretion and its relationship to galaxy formation, - Growth and evolution of large scale structure, - Matter under extreme physical conditions around black holes and neutron stars, - Dynamics and chemistry of cosmic plasmas

17 Sep 2008 → 19 Sep 2008; University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom

abstract: The recent years have seen substantial progress in the understanding of quantum gravity as a local quantum theory of the metric field, despite its perturbative non-renormalisability. Interesting results have been achieved based on non-perturbative renormalisation group techniques in the continuum, numerical simulations on the lattice, and new ideas within perturbation theory. This workshop will gather the leading scientists in these fields to share their expertise, evaluate results and phenomenological implications, and stimulate further studies relating these approaches and neighbouring ones.

abstract: In addition to revisiting the crucial questions from the 1992 October Astrophysics symposium "Back to the Galaxy" with 15 years of hindsight, this conference will embody our KITP program goals of bringing together multiple sub-fields of current Milky Way research. These include the Galactic center, high-energy signatures from dark matter, Milky Way archaeology and chronography through abundances and stellar kinematics as well as the formation and evolution of the Milky Way in a cosmological framework. Current and near-future data are critically entwining issues and puzzles across these sub-fields and it is our goal to have a meeting centered on the vibrant cross-exchange of new results and ideas.

abstract: The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) is one of the oldest scientific institutions in the region. It was founded in Boulac-Cairo in 1839 as an Astronomical Observatory. In 1865, it was transferred to Abbassia - Cairo. Finally, it was moved to its current location at Helwan in 1903. From that time up till now and along this time span of more than century NRIAG has witnessed large developments and expansion phases in several disciplines such as Astronomy, Space research, Solar Research, Seismology, Geomagnetism, Geoelectric, Geothermal, Gravimetry, Geodesy, Geodynamics, and recently Crustal Movements. Nowadays NRIAG plays an important application role in the national development plan of Egypt.

17 Nov 2008 → 21 Nov 2008; Leiden , Netherlands
organizer: Lorentz Center

abstract: A major development in astronomy in the last decade has been the advent of new observing facilities and large surveys at all wavelengths of the spectrum, enabling astronomers for the first time to observe the full spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies at wavelengths from the X-rays to the radio. At the same time, astronomers have created models and tools in order to extract the complex information imprinted in the SEDs. Also, useful semi-analytic models of galaxy formation have appeared that provide realistic predictions for the properties of galaxies as they would be formed in the current cosmological standard model.
