RAPPEL - "The millimeter and submillimeter sky in the Planck mission era", 10-14 January 2011, Cité des Sciences, Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Planck satellite has been operated with outstanding success since its launch on May 14th 2009. The first results will be presented together with discussions of the foregrounds physics and methods for the separation of the cosmological background and these astrophysical foregrounds. Abstracts for contributed papers and posters can be submitted until *December 3rd 2010*.

"Particle Physics and Cosmology" will emphasize the increasing interplay between high energy accelerator based physics and cosmology. The conference will consist of plenary sessions for invited indepth oral presentations(review talks and talks on specific specialised topics), and contributed papers, in the form of relatively short oral papers or posters. We will aim to achieve a balance between review talks, provocative talks given by recognized specialists, and shorter contributions, special emphasis being placed on active participation by younger researchers and post-docs. Parallel sessions, (generally for short communications) are foreseen, and are being organized as the need arises. The meeting will be articulated around the results and their impact on current theories from the three major new experimental and observational facilities which are coming on line or have recently been commissioned: - CERN's LHC - the PLANCK satellite - the HERSCHEL satellite Topics will include: - the standard model in particle physics, in new data and new analyses, - the search for the Higgs boson, heavy flavour physics neutrino physics (astrophysical and laboratory) dark matter, dark energy and recent advances in astrophysics cosmology. The detailed scientific programme is currently under development. Scientific and administrative details are on the conference web site : http://confs.obspm.fr/Blois2011/index.htm You should login regularly, but if you urgently need information which is currently not available you may contact Boaz Klima, the coordinator of the conference, at the email address: klima at fnal.gov.

the Universe is old and old age caught up with Allan Sandage :(
by Boud Roukema 19 Nov '10

hi everyone, I think I heard at least one conference talk by Sandage. Some of the more senior people here may have known him better. I'll just quote the Wikipedia summary for the younger people among us: Allan Rex Sandage (born June 18, 1926 in Iowa City, Iowa, died November 13, 2010) was an American astronomer. He was Staff Member Emeritus with the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, California. He is best known for determining the first reasonably accurate value for the Hubble constant and the age of the universe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Sandage pozdr boud
