============================================

The DEADLINE for submitting abstracts to be considered for an oral
presentation is 10-July. Please submit your abstract on-line at

22-25 September, 2009
Seaport Hotel
Boston Massachusetts

This will be the fifth symposium in a series highlighting unique imaging and
spectroscopic results from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory. This event will
celebrate key science results from the first ten years of operation of the
Chandra X-ray Observatory.  The focus will be on results which have had the
largest impact on Astrophysics, including: The Cosmic Evolution of AGN, AGN
outflows, evolutionary processes in clusters of galaxies, source populations
and diffuse emission from normal galaxies, physical processes at the Galactic
center,  high spatial and spectral studies of neutron star physics, supernova
remnants and star forming regions. We will also cover recent results from the
XMM-Newton, Suzaku, Swift, INTEGRAL, Fermi, RXTE and AGILE missions, as well as
related theoretical results.


** TRAVEL AND LODGING **UPDATED**

A block of rooms has been reserved for attendees of Chandra's First Decade of
Discovery and of the Chandra Calibration Review at the Seaport Hotel, which
is adjacent to the World Trade Center where the meetings will be held. Rooms
