ENERGETIC EVENTS IN THE UNIVERSE: FROM PHYSICS TO COSMOLOGY
25-28 June 2007, Marseille, France
This conference is aimed at reviewing the physics of energetic objects
and processes in the Universe, and their impact on cosmology and
cosmic evolution.
Scientific rationale:
Energetic events in terms of physical processes or specific objects
are incomparable tools to probe the Universe and its components.
They are signature of dramatic processes in the primordial Universe
with gravitational waves consecutive to an inflationary phase or in
the present one with possible annihilation of dark matter.
They are bright candles, like SNe or GRBs, allowing to stride space
and look back in time on prodigious scales.
They are beacons whose light reveals both their hosts and matter
along their path. As such, the aim of this conference is to explore
all these aspects focusing on the physics of objects and processes
in the perspective of their use for cosmology and cosmic evolution
(which are the titles of our 3 sessions).
Sessions will be devoted to these topics with both reviews and short
contributions.
INVITED REVIEWERS
SESSION I: PHYSICS OF OBJECTS AND PROCESSES
Inflation as a paradigm is now part of the cosmological model.
It is the most energetic period of the Universe. What is the underlying
physics? What are predictions like those e.g concerning primordial
GW which renders specific models falsifiable? What are the observational
prospects?
* Pre Big Bang period, inflation, induced primordial GW : Dr Mukhanov
(Munich University)
* Is inflation falsifiable with foreseen instrumentation ? : Dr A.
Cooray (UC Irvine)
Dark matter is probably unavoidable from galaxy and cluster dynamics and
LSS growth. It is still a challenge to know what it is, and what the
different detection methods can do to identify its nature. The theoretical
predictions and experimental perspectives will be addressed with a special
attention on high energy annihilation products
* Dark matter annihilation and its products : Dr P. Salati (LAPP- IN2P3)
* Complementarity between Direct and indirect Dark Matter searches and
Collider Experiments : Dr Sadoulet (Berkeley)
Supernovae and GRBs are produced by the cataclysmic end of stars. SN Ib/C,
SNII and long GRBs are produced by the core collapse of massive stars and
are intrinsically linked. SNIa and short GRBs are respectively produced by
the collapse of a white dwarf and by the collapse of two neutron stars.
Reviews on the origin and on the connection between these different
phenomena will be presented. The impact on the cosmological applications
of the long GRBs and SNIa will be emphasized.
* The physical mechanisms at play in explosive stars : Dr P. Meszaros
(Penn. State University)
* Supernova and GRB connection : Dr P. Mazzali (INAF - Trieste)
SESSION II : IMPACT ON COSMOLOGY
The recent acceleration expansion of the universe has been put on firm basis
using SNI. Other probes are however needed to perform precision cosmology,
in particular to higher z (are other acceleration phases possible?). Reviews
will present the state of art on how SN and GBR would be more and more
"standardizable " as well as a status on present searches and future
prospects.
* Can we standardize the GRBs ? : Dr L. Amati (INAF - Bologna)
* Latest GRBs observations for cosmology : a status report and future
prospects : Dr Berger (Carnegie)
Towards a better SN standardization: beyond stretch and color corrections :
Dr L. Wang (LBL)
* Status on present searches and observational perspectives in using SN's
for cosmology : A. Ealet (CPPM-IN2P3)
SESSION III : IMPACT ON COSMIC EVOLUTION
Even more than QSOs, GRB seem to be the brightest and most distantsources in
the Universe. They are thus suitable to probe in details the intergalactic
medium at all epochs, including the re-ionization, on which they themselves
impact. They are also the first star-forming objects, providing first hints
on the star formation history of the Universe.
* Probing cosmic chemical evolution with GRB's : Dr Prochaska (Lick Observatories)
* Impact on cosmic re-ionization : Dr Ferrara (SISSA)
Science Organizing Committee :
* M. Boer (Observatoire de Haute Provence / OAMP)
* B. Degrange (Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet)
* N. Gehrels (Goddard Space Flight Center)
* J. Hu (NAOC, Beijing)
* P. Madau (University of California)
* P. Natarajan (University of Yale)
* J. Paul (APC/CEA)
* S. Perlmutter (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory)
* M. Vietri (University of Roma 3)
* D. York (University of Chicago)

4. "Towards the European ELT (E-ELT) - Marseille, 27/11-01/12/06
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Towards the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) - Marseille, Nov.
27 - Dec 01
The conference includes a presentation of the E-ELT project status by
ESO and two sessions dedicated to ELT science and instrumentation. The
scientific organizers of the conference are ESO, LAM and OPTICON.
Deadlines for abstract submission and funding requests is September
30th. People are advised to book their hotels as soon as possible.
The conference venue is Marseille, Palais du Pharo.
