years of operation of the Chandra X-ray Observatory.  Virtually all
topics in X-ray astronomy will be covered, including (but not limited
to) stellar corona, supernova remnants, high resolution AGN
spectroscopy, black holes, neutron stars, normal galaxies, galaxy
clusters, resolution of the X-ray background, gamma-ray bursts, etc.
Contributions covering recent results from XMM-Newton and other X-ray
observatories will also be presented.
