1. STScI May Symposium - 3-6 mai 2004 - Baltimore (Maryland) Planets to Cosmology: Essential Science in Hubble's Final Years
Dear Colleague,
This is the Second Announcement of the upcoming Symposium at the Space Telescope Science Institute. Additional information can be found on the Symposium's web page at: http://sd.stsci.edu/Planets_to_Cosmology/index.html
WE ARE SOLICITING CONTRIBUTED TALKS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PRESENTING SUCH A TALK, PLEASE SEND A TITLE AND AN ABSTRACT TO THE SYMPOSIUM'S ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR, QUIN GRYCE (gryce@stsci.edu) BY FEBRUARY 15, 2004.
PLANETS TO COSMOLOGY: ESSENTIAL SCIENCE IN HUBBLE'S FINAL YEARS _______________________________________________________________
The upcoming STScI May Symposium will take place May 3-6, 2004, with registration and a reception on May 2.The Symposium will concentrate on the most recent science to have been accomplished by HST and other observatories and on potential future advances. A broad range of topics will be covered, with sessions devoted to:
- Planets (both in the solar system and extrasolar); - Star Formation (in the Local Group, in clusters); - Black Holes (at galaxy centers, potential existence in globular clusters); - The ISM and the IGM (the baryon content, feedback); - Galaxy Formation and Evolution (mass assembly, morphological evolution); - Cosmology (the nature of dark energy, high-z suprenovae, gravitational lensing); - The Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
The Program will be composed primarily of invited talks, with a small number of contributed talks. We are soliciting contributed talks. If you are interested in presenting such atalk, please send a title and an abstract to the Symposium's Administrative Coordinator, Quin Gryce (gryce@stsci.edu), by February 15, 2004. If you intend to present a poster, please indicate so on the registration form.

The Fabulous Destiny of Galaxies:Bridging Past and Present
Ten years after the first deep redshift surveys, the Lyman-break galaxies and the Hubble Deep Field, cosmic star formation rate, mass assembly, re-ionization, feedback, ... have become usual words. They all convey a desire for a global view on the fate of matter in the Universe even though observations are difficult and discordant in some instances. Time is ripe to look at these difficulties in a proper perspective and under the light of a number of recent surveys or missions (GOODS, COSMOS, HUDF, VVDS, GALEX, SIRTF, to name a few). They are expected to provide larger time scale, larger space coverage and better homogeneity in connecting the past and present Universe.

3. 20th IAP colloquium on CMB physics and observation IAP - 28 juin 2004 / 2 juillet 2004
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 20th IAP colloquium on Cosmic Microwave Background physics and observation, to be held at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, from Monday June 28 to Friday July 2d 2004.
This meeting will conclude the successful European network CMBNET, and we hope it will serve as a kick-off meeting of its successor, CMB-Planet, in case it is funded.
After a series of observational results that culminated in the WMAP results of last year, CMB observations have dramatically sharpened our view of the Universe in the last five years. In the mean time, the recently discovered CMB polarization, bearing new cosmological information, is getting increasing attention, and indeed most of the upcoming CMB experiments are targetting polarization. The second release of WMAP is also now imminent.
It should be a good time to assess what we have learnt as of today, both from the theoretical and experimental points of view, from this very rich period; to discuss the likely stumbling block on the way forward, and new physics that the future CMB experiments will be able to help reveal, and the new experimental and data-processing techniques that need to be developped in their context.
The meeting will focus namely on the following topics: Early Universe theory and CMB physics, main CMB experiments (past and future), cosmological parameters extraction, Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, CMB and gravitational lensing, Integrated Sachs-Wolf detection, reionisation, Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds, data processing methods and experimental developments.
Schedule: - Web site opening at http://www.iap.fr February 1st - Registration deadline: April 1st

4. COSMO 04 - CITA (Toronto, Canada) - 17-21 septembre 2004
COSMO 04 FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ==============
Dear Colleague,
As you may know this year's edition of the annual Cosmo International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology -- Cosmo04 -- will be hosted by the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Toronto between Friday September 17 till Tuesday September 21, 2004. The conference will take place at the downtown campus of the University of Toronto.
Cosmo-04 will be the eighth in the Cosmo series after Ambleside, UK 97 and 03; Asilomar, US 98; Trieste, Italy 99; Cheju Island, Korea 2K; Rovaniemi, Finland 01, Chicago, US 02.
The Cosmo series is one of the major venues of interaction between cosmologists and particle physicists. The Conference will be devoted to the modern interfaces between Fundamental and Phenomenological Particle Physics and Physical Cosmology and Astronomy.
The topics covered at the meeting will include: - Supertsring/Brane/Extra dimension cosmology; - Inflation; Cosmological Fluctuations; - Baryon/Leptogenesis; - Astroparticle physics; Neutrino astrophysics; - Dark Matter; Cosmological Constant; - Cosmological parameters; CMB - Large Scale Structure; Weak Lensing.
The format of the Conference will be the traditional one for the Cosmo series with about 25 invited 30 minute plenary talks and contributed 15-20 minute talks as selected by the chairs of the several parallel sessions which will run concurrently in the afternoons. Poster sessions will also be available.
A web site for the conference can be found at the following address:
http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~cosmo04/index.shtml
Detailed information and application forms for registration, conference fee, travel and accommodation, and applications for contributed talks/presentations and a list of topics/speakers will be available by the end of January 2004. The site will also be linked from CITA's main web site;
To assist us with the organization, please reply to:
cosmo04@cita.utoronto.ca
and let us know if you a) are coming b) are tentatively coming and would like to remain on the email list for future communication.
We would also appreciate if you could further propagate this announcement.
We hope to see you all in Toronto in September.
