XMM-Newton AO-11 Long Term Plan
===============================

The  scheduling  of the  eleventh  cycle  of XMM-Newton  observations,
AO-11, started on 1st May 2012 and is expected to finish at the end of
April 2013.

On 8th May, the  long-term scheduling plan  for the AO-11  period has
been released at:

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_sched/advance_plan.shtml

Principal Investigators  of pending XMM-Newton  observations can check
this plan, especially if scheduling constraints were granted following
the Time Allocation Committee recommendations.



Conference Announcement: XMM-Newton Science Workshop 2013
=========================================================

The XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre will be organising a workshop
in  the spring of  next year,  with the  following subject,  dates and
venue:

                    The Fast and the Furious:
         Energetic Phenomena in Isolated Neutron Stars,
           Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants

                     22nd - 24th May 2013

           XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre at ESA's
           European Space Astronomy Centre, Madrid, Spain

Aims and Scope of the Workshop:

High-energy observations  have strongly  changed our view  of isolated
neutron  stars, the  nebulae powered  by the  relativistic  winds of
energetic  pulsars   and  the  non-thermal   emission  from  supernova
remnants. The study  of these objects in the last  few years has taken
advantage of a multiwavelength  approach, thanks to the combination of
powerful X-ray satellites, with  facilities operating in the gamma-ray
range and up to the highest energies covered by ground based Cherenkov
telescopes.

The purpose of this Workshop is  to discuss the most recent results on
the  high-energy phenomena  occurring  in isolated  neutron stars  and
related  objects  like pulsar  wind  nebulae,  supernova remnants  and
gamma-ray binaries.

The Workshop web page is available at:

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/workshops/2013_science/

Details on the registration and abstract submission process as well as
on important dates will be posted there in due time and announced in a
future XMM-Newton Newsletter.



European Week of Astronomy and Space Science:
Deadline for abstracts submission
=================================


ASTRO-H Special Session at the EWASS
------------------------------------

As announced in  a previous issue of this  Newsletter (#132) a one-day
Special Session will be devoted to the Japanese ASTRO-H mission on 3rd
July 2012 at the European  Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS)
in Rome, Italy.

Abstracts for contributed talks and posters can be submitted until

                         11th May 2012

on the following web page:

http://www.isdc.unige.ch/astroh/ewass_sps8


EWASS 2012 - Symposium 4
The  Galactic Plane Reloaded:
A Brand New Multiwavelength Milky Way from TeV to Mhz
-----------------------------------------------------

The main aim of this Symposium is to bring together communities active
in  different  topics  and  different ranges  of  the  electromagnetic
spectrum in  Galactic Astronomy, to create synergies  and maximize the
power  of   multi-wavelength  and  multi-mission   research  to  boost
knowledge advancement.

Scientific   Contributions  are   solicited  in   the  form   of  oral
presentations  (15 minutes)  and  Posters. The  deadline for  abstract
submission is

                           11th May 2012

Information for  abstract submission and financial  support request is
available on the Symposium 4 website

http://herschel.ifsi-roma.inaf.it/mwgp/
