5. Foreground conference (FGC2011) - "Understanding Galactic and
extragalactic foregrounds: A road to success for cosmological
experiments", 23 - 27 May 2011, in Zadar, Croatia
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, there are several cosmological experiments (planned and
ongoing) that use low frequency radiation to study the structure, the
evolution, and the origin of our Universe. Among those are cosmic
microwave background radiation experiments (e.g. Planck satellite) and
the redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen from the epoch of
reionization (e.g. LOFAR, GMRT, MWA & SKA). In addition to the main
scientific goals of each experiment, they all have one more thing in
common: prominent Galactic and extragalactic foreground emission that
challenges the observations. Therefore, the success of these
cosmological observations relies on our understanding of the
foregrounds and development of good foreground removal
techniques. Obviously, studying the physical origin of these
foregrounds, whether Galactic or extra-galactic, constitute a very
interesting and exciting field in its own right.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists interested in
three main topics:
- Physics and astrophysics of the low frequency Galactic and
extra-galactic foregrounds;
- influence of these foregrounds on the CMB and EoR observations;
- foreground removal techniques.
During the meeting the observational constraints of the Galactic and
extragalactic foregrounds will be reviewed both in total and polarized
intensity. We will discuss the physics of the foregrounds and their
properties (e.g. Galactic magnetic field, ISM, Faraday rotation,
cosmic ray distribution, disk-halo connections and source
counts). Finally, we will discuss mathematical techniques to fit and
remove spatial and spectral foreground structures.
Registration is open now. Details about the conference, logistics and
registration can be found at this URL : http://www.astron.nl/fgc2011

6. 23rd Rencontres de Blois, "Particle Physics and Cosmology",
May 29-June 4, 2011, Château Royal de Blois, Blois, France
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an announcement and call for papers for an international
conference which will be held in the Château of Blois, in France's
Loire Valley. "Particle Physics and Cosmology" will emphasize the
increasing interplay between high energy accelerator based physics and
cosmology.
The conference will consist of plenary sessions for invited indepth
oral presentations(review talks and talks on specific specialised
topics), and contributed papers, in the form of relatively short oral
papers or posters. We will aim to achieve a balance between review
talks, provocative talks given by recognized specialists, and shorter
contributions, special emphasis being placed on active participation
by younger researchers and post-docs. Parallel sessions, (generally
for short communications) are foreseen, and are being organized as the
need arises.
The meeting will be articulated around the results and their impact on
current theories from the three major new experimental and
observational facilities which are coming on line or have recently
been commissioned:
- CERN's LHC
- the PLANCK satellite
- the HERSCHEL satellite
Topics will include:
- the standard model in particle physics, in new data and new
analyses,
- the search for the Higgs boson, heavy flavour physics neutrino
physics (astrophysical and laboratory) dark matter, dark energy and
recent advances in astrophysics cosmology.
The detailed scientific programme is currently under development.
Scientific and administrative details are on the conference web site :

You should login regularly, but if you urgently need information which
is currently not available you may contact Boaz Klima, the coordinator

hi everyone,
I think I heard at least one conference talk by Sandage. Some of the
more senior people here may have known him better. I'll just quote
the Wikipedia summary for the younger people among us:
Allan Rex Sandage (born June 18, 1926 in Iowa City, Iowa, died
November 13, 2010) was an American astronomer. He was Staff Member
Emeritus with the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena,
California. He is best known for determining the first reasonably
accurate value for the Hubble constant and the age of the universe.

6. New Directions in Modern Cosmology
New Directions in Modern Cosmology

R.E. Schild, Harvard CfA
F. Sylos Labini, Enrico Fermi Center, Rome
R. Durrer, Univ Geneva
Aim and description
This workshop concentrates on the discussion of recent cosmological
observations which present challenges to the standard LCDM
model. These observations include: the large scale flows, the sizes
and amplitude of galaxy large scale structures, the systematic effects
biasing the analysis of CMB data and the lack of large-angle
correlations, the anisotropy of the Hubble flow, the evolution of
galaxy size, and the failure to find the sub-halo building blocks left
over from the primordial fluctuation spectrum. Last and not least, it
is disturbing that in the LCDM model 95% of the Universe have not been
observed 'directly'.
While each of these observations can be seen as an anomaly that the
model would possibly explain, the bulk of them calls for a more
careful analysis of the model foundations, particularly the amount and
role of dark substances. From the theoretical side it is known that
the role of hydrodynamics can be more important that often
assumed. Moreover recently there has been a considerable theoretical
effort to develop a coherent picture in General Relativity which
appropriately takes into account matter inhomogeneities.
By connecting and discussing different approaches and results, this
workshop, aims to advance our comprehension of the large scale
universe. Progress can be hoped for by combining insights from various
groups of researchers studying different observational and theoretical
problems. The workshop offers a unique opportunity to discuss
conceptual and methodological problems of the present cosmological
paradigm.
Central questions are posed from observational and theoretical
perspectives:
- Galaxy Structures on large scales: How large are galaxy fluctuations
on 100 Mpc/h scale? Do we see the predicted
anti-correlations in the two-point correlation
function?
- Is there a systematic problem in the CMB large angle correlations?
Is there true evidence for a galaxy-CMB cross
correlation?
- Are large scale flows at odds with LCDM predictions?
- What is the role of joint effects of gravity and hydrodynamics in
the theory of structure formation?
- What is the role of large density inhomogeneities in General
Relativity? Which effects can be observed?
We of course cannot expect to obtain answers to any of those questions
during this workshop but we can discover how expertise from different
fields can be combined to fruitfully address them.
The diversity in the background of the participants guarantees that
new questions will arise and new approaches will be formulated. The
central role of the workshop will be to stimulate and coordinate this
interaction.
