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.
