Anisotropic Universe: From Microwaves to Ultrahigh Energies --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@AEI: http://hyperspace.aei.mpg.de/?p=8467 Starting: 2013-09-25 to 2013-09-27 Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands Additional Information: http://grappa.science.uva.nl/anisotropies Contact: f.zandanel[AT]uva.nl The study of anisotropies connects and unravels fundamental issues in various fields of astrophysics and cosmology. With the recent experimental progress, it is now possible to analyse, understand, and cross-correlate the anisotropic skies observed by Planck, 2MASS Redshift Survey, Chandra, Fermi, AMS-2, HAWC, IceCube, and Auger -- to cite but a few major instruments that scrutinize the Universe from microwaves to ultrahigh energies in photons, cosmic rays, and neutrinos. Anisotropic features can reveal key information on the structure and the nature of the components of the Universe, and provide hints on the origin of high energy emission. In this workshop, instead of focusing on one particular field, we aim at discussing an interdisciplinary science related to anisotropies and fluctuations in astrophysics and cosmology. Gathering researchers from various backgrounds, we put together our tools and our knowledge on anisotropies and fluctuations. Various methods and theories have been developed in parallel but their use has often been restricted to one particular area. In particular, we will be sharing our experience on: - theoretical predictions of anisotropy signatures, for given configurations of source populations and of the whole Universe; - anisotropy analysis and measurement techniques; - cross-correlation of data from various wavelengths and messengers, fluctuations in time. In particular, the following themes will be discussed: - cosmic microwave background: probing fluctuations of the content of the Universe through space and time; - large-scale structure: galaxy distribution and probes of cosmology; - warm hot intergalactic medium: soft x-rays tracers of the cosmic web, and the missing baryon problem; - dark matter: gamma-rays as tracers of dark matter distribution and signature of annihilation; - cosmic rays from low to ultrahigh energies: arrival directions and connections with magnetic fields. Confirmed invited speakers are: Elena Amato (Osservatorio di Arcetri) Aurelien Benoit-Levy (UCL London) Nico Cappelluti (INAF-Osservatorio Bologna) Erminia Calabrese (Oxford) Renyue Cen (Princeton University) Alessandro Cuoco (University of Turin) Carlos Delgado (CIEMAT Madrid) Elisabeth Fernandez (Kapteyn Groningen) Mattia Fornasa (University of Nottingham) Gwenael Giacinti (Oxford) Eiichiro Komatsu (MPA Garching) Kohta Murase (IAS Princeton) Christoph Pfrommer (HITS Heidelberg) Thomas Reiprich (Bonn University) Anne Schukraft (Aachen) Patrick Younk (Los Alamos National Lab) Besides the 40-minutes invited talks, we plan to have 20-minutes contributed talks. We invite you to register to the workshop through our webpage (http://grappa.science.uva.nl/anisotropies), where you will also find other details about the organisation of the event and accommodation. The number of participants will be limited to about 50. The deadline for registration is 15 August 2013, we will confirm your participation acceptance shortly after. We hope to see you in Amsterdam during 25-27 September 2013.

This colloquium intends to bring together leading members of the European scientific community and their international partners. One of its aims is to propose to those in charge of Galileo operations and development means of enhancing the scientific use of Galileo and to contribute to GNSS development based on scientific approaches. During this colloquium the various possibilities to use navigation satellites such as Galileo satellites for scientific purposes shall be reviewed and the question of how these scientific applications can contribute to make the most of the present systems, and define their future evolution will be discussed. The conference will be organized as a series of plenary talks and two parallel half day sessions. The colloquium will address three major areas of research: 1) The fundamental aspects of navigation via satellite signals, in particular those of Galileo: geodetic and temporal reference frames, on board and ground clocks, orbit determination, radiation environment in orbit, fundamental aspects of L-band signal propagation, tropospheric and ionospheric corrections, calibration / validation of time and position determination. 2) Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies, using either direct or reflected signals, differential measurements, phase measurements, radio occultation measurements, using receivers placed on the ground, in airplanes or on satellites. 3) Scientific developments in physics, dealing with future GNSS, particularly in testing relativistic gravitation, in astronomy, in quantum communication; inter-satellite links as operational and scientific tool. Papers will be selected on the basis of abstracts of 600-800 words in length by session convener and the colloquium scientific committee. Abstracts should contain the following information: · Colloquium name (4th International Colloquium "Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of the Galileo Programme") and proposed topic for the paper · Topic Code(s) (see Topics section below) · Title of paper · Name and affiliation of author(s) · Addresses, e-mail, telephone and fax numbers · Abstract of the paper · Name of the principal author or contact person The author(s) should also indicate whether the paper is proposed for an oral or poster presentation. Abstracts should be submitted before the 30 of April 2013 to the ESA Conference Bureau. They may be submitted by using the form on the Web address: http://congrexprojects.com/13c15/abstract-submission Authors will be notified of the decision of the programme committee by the 1st of July 2013. Author(s) whose papers have been accepted will then receive instructions for the preparation of their full-length paper. The deadline for paper submission is 1 of August 2013. The proceedings (CD-ROM) will be distributed during the Colloquium.
