ROSAT Science Symposium


This is the final list of talks to be given at the ROSAT Science Symposium, 8-10 November 1993.

If you requested a talk, but your name is not present, your contribution has been included as a poster. We are sorry we could not accommodate everyone who requested a talk, but the oversubscription factor for talks was at least 2.

Sessions numbered by session topic. Within a session, invited talks are 30m each, oral contributions are 15m each. We have tried to group oral contributions relative to the invited talk. Exact times have not yet been set. While the all the contributions have been chosen, some minor shuffling may still occur. Said shuffling will not alter the day on which a given talk is given, nor whether the talk occurs before or after lunch. Finally, the people responsible for the opening and closing remarks may be switched depending upon J. Trumper's schedule.
