1997 MEETING OF THE AAS HIGH ENERGY ASTROPHYSICS DIVISION
Sponsored by: ASCA, AXAF, CGRO, ROSAT, and RXTE projects
* Incorporating RXTE and AXAF Workshops *
------------------
November 4 - 7, 1997
Estes Park, Colorado
"Gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park"
**************************************
ABSTRACTS DUE AUGUST 1, 1997
**************************************
The High Energy Astrophysics community has five outstanding missions
currently in operation (ASCA, CGRO, ROSAT, BeppoSAX and RXTE) and others
slated for launch in the next few years (AXAF, XMM, Spectrum X, ASTRO-E and
INTEGRAL). Excitement is particularly high this year for the recently
launched RXTE and BeppoSAX missions with their timing capabilities and broad
energy coverage. Also, momentum is building for the launch next year of the
powerful AXAF observatory. The unprecedented diversity and quality of data
available from the current missions and expected from the coming missions
reinforces the clear need to communicate across missions and wavelength
boundaries. The AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division (HEAD) is holding its
third Divisional meeting in Fall 1997 to provide a forum for this interchange.
The meeting will cover observations and theory for all energies above ~100
eV and for all scientific areas of high energy astrophysics, with links to
the rest of the spectrum. The sessions will be science-based, rather than
mission-based. Oral sessions will include plenary reviews plus contributed
talks. Ample time will be allowed for viewing papers in the poster
sessions. Evening discussion sessions may be organized on topics of current
interest. Anyone with a topic in mind for a special session, please contact
Neil Gehrels (gehrels@gsfc.nasa.gov). The meeting will also incorporate 1/2 day
workshops on data analysis for RXTE and on guest investigator opportunities for
AXAF. Also, a special session or workshop will be held to discuss future
missions.
The abstract book from the meeting will be published, but there will
be no proceedings. The Scientific Organizing Committee is listed below.

MEETING DETAILS
*******************************************
CONFERENCE LOCATION
Estes Park is a delightful mountain village at the gateway to
Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. Located about 30 minutes from
Boulder, the village has been restored over the past several years to
become one of ColoradoUs premier vacation resorts. It is known for
its panoramic scenery, outdoor sports and, of course, The Rocky Mountain
National Park. Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved highway in
the United States is just a few miles from the center of town and takes
you to the park in only half an hour.
HOTEL
The Stanley Hotel is the site of the 1997 meeting. Built in 1909,
The Stanley is a completely refurbished historic hotel. It offers
an elegant and relaxed atmosphere that echos the graciousness of a bygone era.
The Hotel will be featured this spring in a television version of
"The Shining", directed by Stephen King. The Hotel is within walking
distance of Estes Park shops and dining. We expect the weather to be cold
in November, possibly with snow, so be prepared! A variety of local tours
can be arranged by the hotel including rock climbing, mountain biking
(weather permitting), cross-country skiing, fly fishing, and hiking.
The Stanley Hotel has only 120 rooms. Additional rooms have been reserved
at the Holiday Inn, Estes Park.
REGISTRATION
Registration details will be emailed shortly to those on the head97
mailing list.
