8th XMM-Newton SAS Workshop: registration deadline
==================================================
As already announced in issue #73 of the XMM-Newton Newsletter, the 8th SAS
Workshop will be held at the European Space Astronomy Centre of ESA
(Villafranca del Castillo, Spain) between the 24th and the 27th of June
2008.
SAS Workshops aim at providing XMM-Newton users with a basic introduction
to the procedures and techniques to successfully reduce and analyse
XMM-Newton data. The 4-day workshop is organised around 4 half-days of
presentations and 4 half-days of practical training sessions. They cover all
aspects of data reduction and data analysis for all the X-ray cameras
on-board XMM-Newton, as well as for its Optical Monitor.
Interested persons are encouraged to send an email to
xmmhelp@sciops.esa.int
no later than Thursday, April 24, 2008.
No fee is required to attend the Workshop. We regret to inform that no
financial support is available for Workshop participants.

Workshop Announcement: "The Warm & Hot Universe"
================================================
NASA and Columbia University are pleased to announce the workshop:
"The Warm & Hot Universe"
which will be held on May 7-9th 2008 in Columbia University, New York
City, USA.
The workshop will review the unique contributions of X-ray astronomy
to the understanding of large scale structures and the Universe.
Main topics to be covered include:
* Missing baryons at low redshift and in clusters
* The Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM)
* Non-thermal heating, cosmic feedback, excess Entropy and Li-6
* Thermal and non-thermal cluster soft X-ray excess; the hard excess
* Evolution and scaling properties of clusters
* Sunyaev-Zel'dovich surveys
* X-ray gas parameters of groups and their evolution
* Mass profile of groups
* AGN surveys and galaxy formation
* Interstellar and interplanetary medium.
* Particle acceleration and interactions in the heliosphere.
Abstract deadline for contributed talks and posters is April 7th 2008.
Deadline for early registration is April 10th 2008.
