hi cosmo-pl Two conference announcements - a general cosmo/gravity meeting in Vietnam, and a compact objects + ASTROSAT (Indian project) meeting in India. pozdr boud > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:52:45 +0200 > Message SF2A No 483 - 19/09/11 > Sur le web: http://www.sf2a.asso.fr/spip.php?rubrique7 > http://www.sf2a.asso.fr/spip.php?article347 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Les Rencontres du Vietnam - Xth International Conference on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology (ICGAC10), December 17-22, 2011 , Quy-Nhon, Vietnam --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ICGAC10 is part of a series of biennial conferences on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology which take place in the Asia-Pacific area with the following goals: - to encourage cooperation among the member countries within an international context - to promote advanced studies on emerging topics - to encourage young physicists to enter these fields. The first meeting was initiated by Prof. Yong Min Cho, one of the founders of the APCTP at SNU in 1993. This conference is organized in Vietnam with the help of "Les Rencontres du Vietnam"(*), whose aim is to promote scientific education and research in Vietnam. The ICGAC10 program will consist of oral presentations in plenary and parallel sessions, with review talks on specific topics given by leading researchers. Debates on controversial issues will be programmed during the conference. Poster contributions are welcome, and will be posted up during the entire week. Topics include: - Experimental studies of gravity - Quantum gravity - Gravitational waves - Black holes, Wormholes - Strings, Branes and Extra dimensions - Numerical Relativity - Cosmology, Dark matter, Dark energy - Relativistic Astrophysics - Astroparticle Physics, Cosmic rays - Astronomical and space-research instrumentation More details can be found on the conference website: http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~cosmo/ICGAC10/ICGAC10.html (*) The "Rencontres du Vietnam" association have organized at infrequent intervals during the last 10 years meetings in Vietnam on various scientific topics, ranging from particle physics to biology and astrophysics. These meetings take the form of high profile international conferences, and have in the past brought together some of the world's leading specialists on the subjects treated.

Abstract submission period: 19 August 2011 to 10 February 2012. X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei provide us a unique opportunity to explore the properties of matter in extreme conditions and test fundamental physical theories in extreme environments. These objects emit across the wavelengths, and hence multi-wavelength studies of them will be useful to probe, among other things, high-density degenerate matter, theories of gravitation in the strong field regime and the inflow-outflow (disk-jet-wind) mechanism. The Indian astronomy satellite ASTROSAT will perform simultaneous observations from optical to hard X-ray, monitor the sky for X-ray transient activities, and detect and study the rapid variability of these sources. This session aims to include the new theoretical and observational results, as well as reviews, related to accreting neutron stars and black holes (stellar-mass and super-massive) at wavelengths relevant to ASTROSAT, and complementary studies in other wavelengths. The session will also include presentations on the effective ways to use ASTROSAT, including joint observations with other space-based and ground instruments. Duration: 3 half-days Website: http://www.cospar-assembly.org/ Invited speakers: To be announced soon. The precise dates of the event will be announced as soon as they are fixed.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 15:19:07 +0200 > From: Programme National de Cosmologie et Galaxies <...> 1. Potential Post doctoral position at IAS-CEA/SAP&SPP Post doctoral funding is available in the framework of P2IO, an association of french laboratories including IAS, CEA/SAp and CEA/SPP. The allocation is competitive between projects within P2IO, with applications due Sept 20 and decision on selected projects by Oct 15. The position is for a period of two years, starting no later than January 1, 2012. We seek potential candidates who would be interested to work with people from IAS/SAP/SPP on aspects of astrophysics and cosmology with clusters of galaxies in the framework of Planck. Interested candidates are invited to send a CV and publication list by September 15th.
