for full information, including invited speakers, accommodation  
information, and a workshop poster.  Or email snr09@cfa.harvard.edu

Deadlines for both registration and abstract submission are
	Wednesday, April 29, 2009
for contributed talks and poster presentations, and
	Wednesday, May 20, 2009
the final deadline for poster presentations only.

WORKSHOP GOALS:

X-ray observatories are advancing our understanding of a wide range of
astrophysical processes, and profoundly so in the field of supernova
remnants. The Chandra X-ray Observatory's superior spatial and
spectral resolution, for example, are probing the structure and
evolution of supernova remnant ejecta, diffusive shock acceleration
processes, and interactions between supernova remnants and pulsar wind
nebulae down to the sub-arcsecond level. This conference highlights
both observational and theoretical studies of SNR, emphasizing recent
X-ray observations of Galactic SNR. All aspects of SNR research will
be explored including shock acceleration, electron/ion temperature
equilibration, pulsar wind nebulae, connections between SNR ejecta and
SN processes, and SNR interactions with the circumstellar and
interstellar medium. The goals are to discuss outstanding problems in
SNR research, and the most direct path forward in coming years.
