Dear colleague, March 5, 2002 this is the First Announcement of the Conference on ******************************************************************** * * * The Riddle of Cooling Flows in Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies * * * * which will take place at the * * * * Omni Hotel, Charlottesville, VA, USA * * from May 31 through June 4, 2003 * * * ******************************************************************** Note that future announcements will ONLY be sent to people who pre-registered through http://www.astro.virginia.edu/coolflow/preg.php Recent observations have significantly broadened our view on cooling flows in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The wealth of new information through observations has led to a flourishing development in theoretical modelling. The purpose of this conference is to summarize relevant observational results at all wavelengths, to compare the predictions of models and simulations to these observations, and to assess the impact of processes in cluster cores on the application of galaxy clusters as cosmological probes. All further relevant information has been posted at the conference web page ******************************************* * http://www.astro.virginia.edu/coolflow/ * ******************************************* If you are potentially interested please take a short moment to fill in the pre-registration form to ensure receiving future announcements.
