         ------ MEETING ABSTRACT ------

     The X-ray View of Galaxy Ecosystems

X-ray observations are providing exciting results about the formation
and evolution of galaxies, bringing new insight into the interplay
between galaxies and the diverse physical components of which they are
composed, and with which they interact. This workshop focuses on the
physics occurring within and around galaxies, with a particular
emphasis on diffuse hot gas, but including galactic nuclei, the growth
of SMBH, stellar/AGN feedback, stars and star formation, and
environmental effects (e.g., stripping, mergers). The goals of this
workshop are to bring together observers and theorists to review what
we have learned in the last decade and to identify important but
unsolved problems whose solution could significantly improve our
understanding of galaxies, looking towards the most effective use of
X-ray observatories in the next decade.

Item 2: Fifteen Years of Science with Chandra - First announcement

The symposium "Fifteen Years of Science with Chandra” will be held
18-21 November 2014 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel in Boston,
Massachusetts.  The meeting will highlight key science results from
the past fifteen years and a panel discussion focusing on key science
topics for the next 10+ years of operation of the Chandra X-ray
Observatory. Topics and themes will emphasize high resolution imaging
and spectroscopy, observations and  theory, including related data
from other observatories.  

Please mark your calendar to save the date! Information on symposium
registration, the program schedule, and hotel reservations will be
available in the coming weeks on the Symposium web page:

Item 3: Chandra Calibration and CIAO Workshop

A day-long Chandra Calibration and CIAO workshop
(http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/workshop/index.html) will be held on
Monday, 17 November 2014, at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA. The workshop is on the day before the
start of the Fifteen Years of Chandra Symposium being held in downtown
Boston. 

The workshop will focus on getting the most out of your data, with
discussions of CIAO capabilities and the impact of calibration on
cutting edge science.  In addition, there will be hands-on sessions,
with CXC staff available to answer individual questions and assist
with analysis. 

More details about the program and registration will be announced at a
later date. 

Antonella Fruscione and Vinay Kashyap
