The European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) of the European Space
Agency (ESA) is organising the XMM-Newton Science workshop
The Fast and the Furious:
Energetic Phenomena in Isolated Neutron Stars,
Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants
22nd - 24th May 2013
European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), Madrid, Spain
http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/workshops/2013_science/
- AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING -
High-energy observations have strongly changed our view of isolated
neutron stars, showing that these objects appear in a large variety of
different classes and can exhibit substantial variability on time
scales from milliseconds to years. Changes in flux and morphology have
also been observed in the nebulae powered by the relativistic winds of
energetic pulsars. Great advances have also been obtained in
high-energy observations of 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, such as XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift and Suzaku, with
facilities operating in the gamma-ray range (INTEGRAL, Agile, Fermi)
and up to the highest energies covered by ground based Cherenkov
telescopes (HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS).
The purpose of this Science Workshop is to discuss our 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.
