BeppoSAX Symposium n. 3
SYMPOSIUM: "THE ACTIVE X-RAY SKY.
RESULTS FROM BEPPO-SAX AND ROSSI-XTE"
ACCADEMIA DEI LINCEI - ROMA - 21-24 OCTOBER 1997
3rd Circular - 25 September 1997.
1 - The Symposium is intended to review the recent observational evidence in
X-Ray Astronomy with special emphasis on the results obtained by the
space missions Beppo-SAX and Rossi-XTE.
The aim is to assess, through the joint evaluation by observers and
theorists, the impact of the new data on our understanding of
"The active X-ray sky".
