First Announcement
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop: NASA Laboratory Astrophysics Workshop
Where: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
When: 25-28 October 2010
The Astrophysics Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is
sponsoring its fourth Laboratory Astrophysics Workshop (LAW). The
purpose of this approximately quadrennial workshop is to provide a forum
within which the scientific community can review the current state of
knowledge in the field of Laboratory Astrophysics, assess the critical
data needs of NASA's current and future space astrophysics missions, and
identify the challenges and opportunities facing the field as we begin a
new decade. The complete charge for the workshop can be downloaded at
http://www-cfadc.phy.ornl.gov/nasa_law/ .
LAW 2010 will feature general invited review talks from prominent data
users and from scientists actively involved with NASA's current and
future space astrophysics missions to provide an overview of the data
needs in their current programs. Selected contributed talks from
recognized data providers in each discipline will accompany the invited
review talks. A poster session will be organized for participating
groups/laboratories. Breakout sessions will take place at the end of
these sessions. Specific recommendations will be established by each
working group. These will be forwarded to the SOC to be included in the
White Paper requested in the NASA charge to the workshop. The White
Paper will be reviewed by an independent group of experts before
submission to NASA.
The workshop is hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the
Southeast Laboratory Astrophysics Community. Further information can be
found at: http://www.physics.unlv.edu/labastro/ . Additional
information and details will soon follow.
