CRCの皆様、
今年の10月に名古屋にて第5回フェルミ衛星シンポジウムを下記の通り開催します。
皆様のご参加をお待ちしております。
名古屋大学 田島，広島大学 深沢 on behalf of LOC
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that abstract submission is open for the
Fifth International Fermi symposium, to be held at Nagoya University
in Nagoya, Japan, from *October 20-24, 2014*.
The two Fermi instruments have been surveying the high-energy sky since
August 2008. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) has discovered thousands of
new sources and many new source classes, bringing the importance of
gamma-ray astrophysics to an ever-broadening community. The GeV
gamma-ray sky now includes supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae,
pulsars, binary systems, novae, several classes of active galaxies,
starburst galaxies, normal galaxies, and a large number of unidentified
sources. Continuous monitoring of the high-energy gamma-ray sky has
uncovered numerous outbursts from a wide range of transients. LAT data
have provided stringent constraints on new phenomena such as
supersymmetric dark-matter annihilations as well as tests of fundamental
physics. The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) continues to be a prolific
detector of gamma-ray transients: magnetars, solar flares, terrestrial
gamma-ray flashes and gamma-ray bursts at keV to MeV energies,
complementing the higher energy LAT observations of those sources in
addition to providing valuable science return in their own right.
The science capabilities of both instruments continues to improve. The
transition to high time resolution data in the GBM in November 2012 has
dramatically improved sensitivity to very short timescale transients.
The LAT team is completing an extensive revamp of data processing
algorithms that will open new discovery space below 100 MeV and
dramatically improve performance across the entire LAT energy range.
This meeting will focus on the new scientific investigations and results
enabled by Fermi, the mission and instrument characteristics, future
opportunities, and coordinated observations and analyses.
Please visit the symposium web pages at
http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/symposium/2014/ for information about
the meeting.
*Abstract submission: *
We invite participants to submit abstracts for proposed scientific
contributions to the symposium. The default mode of contributions will
be posters. The scientific organising committee will select a subset of
the abstracts for oral presentations in either plenary or parallel
sessions. In addition to Fermi science, poster and parallel oral
contributions on relevant analysis techniques and the status of related
facilities (current and future) are welcome.
The deadline for abstract submission is *September 7, 2014*. ABSTRACT
SUBMISSION IS NOW OPEN!
*Registration: *
The symposium registration fee
is 30,000 JPY until September 7. There is a reduced fee for current
students of 15,000 JPY. After Sept 7, the fee will increase to 35,000 JPY
(and 20,000 JPY for students). Registration includes coffee breaks each
day and the banquet.
*Hotel reservations: *
Accommodation at one of the hotels near the conference venue can be
reserved via a link off the
main symposium webpage, through Nippon Travel Agency. The last day to
obtain a room through the conference organizers is September 30, 2014.
However, we recommend that you reserve early to guarantee room
availability in your preferred hotel.
Please forward this announcement to interested groups.
Regards,
Julie McEnery (on behalf of the local and scientific organizing committees)
