Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the fourth international ASCA
symposium, organized by the Institute of Space and Astronautical
Science, will be held on March 17th - 19th, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan.
Objective :
-----------
This is the 4th ASCA symposium following three fruitful meetings held
in 1994 (Tokyo Metropolitan Univ.), 1996 (Waseda Univ.), and in 1997
(Washington D.C.), celebrating the 6th anniversary of ASCA's launch.
The purpose of the symposium is to bring together the recent
observational results obtained during the six successful years of ASCA
and the achievements of other space missions with possible inclusion
of the long awaited AXAF, and to deepen our understanding of the X-ray
and gamma-ray universe and its evolution.
Through high resolution spectroscopic and imaging studies of cosmic
objects, we are entering into an exciting new stage of high-energy
astronomy. The field has been enriched in earlier periods through
discoveries of X-ray emission from all categories of objects. Now, the
high quality of the observational data allows us to look almost
directly at the underlying physical processes in the X-ray emitting
objects. Heating of plasma and acceleration of particles are the key
processes working in the strong X-ray and gamma-ray emitting systems.
The purpose of this symposium is to reach deeper understanding of
physical mechanisms which cause strong heating or acceleration to high
energy in the universe in the light of new observational data. We
hope the symposium provides an occasion for substantial discussion
about the most energetic physical processes in celestial objects.
The symposium will address the following scientific topics.
1. Heating in galaxies and clusters of galaxies
2. Acceleration in SNRs and pulsars
3. Acceleration in jets
--- from galactic micro QSOs to Blazars
4. Heating in accretion disks
5. New frontiers in future missions
--- Astro-E, AXAF, XMM, Abrixas, etc
We would like you to note that the symposium has been planned to
commemorate the achievements and contributions of Professor Fumiyoshi
Makino at ISAS and Professor Masaru Matsuoka at RIKEN who are both
going to retire in March from their present chairs.

Duration of Conference:
----------------------
The meeting will begin in the morning of Wednesday, March 17th, 1999 and
end in the afternoon on Friday, March 19th, 1999.
Contributed Papers:
-------------------
The Workshop will comprise invited talks, contributed oral
presentations, and presentations in the form of posters. Abstracts
for proposed contributed papers should be submitted before the dead
line. Please prepare an abstract using a LaTeX template attatched to
the registration form, not exceeding 200 words. A collection of these
abstracts will be handed out to the conference participants. They
will also serve for the final planning of the conference programme and
the selection of the contributions admitted for the oral presentation.
The deadline of registration is November 15, 1998. Those who wish to
make an oral controibution are encouraged to submit the abstract as
early as possible. You may submit the abstract: (a) via our web page
(preferred): "
http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/conference/ascasymp4/,
or (b) by e-mailing the attached registration form to:
"ascasymp@astro.isas.ac.jp". We will inform the authors about the
acceptance of the oral contribution by the end of November.
Proceedings:
------------
We are looking at the possibility of publishing in a refereed journal.
Instructions will be announced during the Symposium.
Summary of Schedule:
--------------------
Aug. 20 First circular
End of October Second Circular with Tentative Programme
Nov. 15 Dead line for Registration
End of November Paper acceptance notification (by e-mail)
End of January Third Circular with final programme, transportation
