WORKSHOP GOALS

    -review progress afforded by X-ray grating spectroscopy of extragalactic and galactic sources
    -compare/contrast physical conditions, estimates of location, geometry and kinematics of X-ray emitters/absorbers, encompassing collisionally- and photo-excited gas across different source types
    -review and compare available atomic data and codes
    -provide a forum for discussion of:
    -controversial or unexpected new results
    -potential new strategies for Chandra/XMM grating observations?

SCOPE of the MEETING

    INCLUDE:
    * New high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy results from the latest observations of extragalactic and galactic sources
    * Deep IGM studies
    * Related medium-resolution X-ray spectroscopy results from current satellites
    * Theoretical interpretations and modeling issues
    * Spectroscopic studies in conjunction with other wavebands
    * The future of X-ray spectroscopy
    EXCLUDE:
    * Results and discussions based primarily on X-ray imaging or timing results
