UK X-ray Astronomy

UK forum for X-ray Astronomy, starting from an RAS meeting in 2017.

Trying to choose 'goodies' for a conference we are organising. #xcal2019. What makes the best conference souvenirs? One of the following classics or something else? Are they a waste or do you look back fondly on souvenirs from bygone meetings? What do you think?

#xcal2019 programme now online: https://t.co/0tMSrSHmRP

Great lineup of presentations. Review talks for anyone keen to learn about high res. X-ray spec. Come and join us July 15-18 @WinchesterCity Guildhall.

Now just need some 'special touches' for the workshop...

[Poshak Gandhi @poshakgandhi]

Last day to request a talk! Novel ideas, crazy thought experiments, reviews, hackathon suggestions, all very welcome :-) #xcal2019 #unconference https://t.co/OuzmOs1dXZ

Great international response to the meeting sign-up so far! Should be a superb meeting. In order not to break with tradition (https://t.co/gk7pjVPjNu), we have decided to extend the deadline to Thursday March 07. 😀 Who wants in? #xcal2019 https://t.co/RN7MHxlmrE

The majority gets it right! FYI, here is what Google says about the mean speed: https://t.co/DxmgwuMwi4

Next-gen X-ray spectroscopy. #xcal2019. Registration is open. Abstract submission deadline at the beginnning of March. Come to sunny #Winchester in July 2019: #xrayastronomy

Just how cool will next-gen X-ray spectroscopy be? We should be sensitive to motions as small as those of artificial satellites in Earth's orbit! Time to search for exo-ISSs, perhaps... Do you know what ISS's orbital speed is? #ISS @AthenaXobs #xcal2019 #XRISM

@RoyalAstroSoc @AstronGeo @JAXA_en @NASA @esa @SRON_Space @csa_asc So, what should be the next step for UK X-ray astronomy? This is just the beginning of the discussion. Hey, at least we have a hashtag.

Congratulations to #Hitomi team for another @nature paper from its first observations! Next gen #xray #astronomy https://t.co/BfJpmMcFks

[Poshak Gandhi @poshakgandhi]

First (and only) #AGN observations at high #Xray spectral resolution with #Hitomi X-ray #microcalorimeter satellite https://t.co/0FtqFcGaao. Led by Hirofumi Noda, Yasushi Fukazawa, Chris Reynolds, Richard Mushotzky and the Hitomi AGN team. 1/3
