Welcome!High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy: past, present, and futureUtrecht, The NetherlandsMarch 15-17 2010 Organized by SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and Utrecht University Scope of the conference High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for astrophysics since the launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton, now 10 years ago. The grating spectrometers on both instruments still continue to provide excellent data, while imaging calorimeters are being prepared for future missions like Astro-H and IXO. The synergy with other wavelength bands like the UV will be boosted by the addition of COS to HST. X-ray spectroscopy offers unique diagnostics to study almost any object in the Universe. In this meeting we foresee presentations on highlights and the state-of-the-art of X-ray spectroscopy for a broad range of objects and on the prospects for future studies. The abstract submission for the conference is closed, but it is still possible to register.
