BeppoSAX Symposium n. 3
SYMPOSIUM: "THE ACTIVE X-RAY SKY. RESULTS FROM BEPPO-SAX AND ROSSI-XTE" ACCADEMIA DEI LINCEI - ROMA - 21-24 OCTOBER 1997 3rd Circular - 25 September 1997. 1 - The Symposium is intended to review the recent observational evidence in X-Ray Astronomy with special emphasis on the results obtained by the space missions Beppo-SAX and Rossi-XTE. The aim is to assess, through the joint evaluation by observers and theorists, the impact of the new data on our understanding of "The active X-ray sky". 2 - Symposium General Information Title: "The Active X-Ray Sky: Results from Beppo-SAX and Rossi XTE" Place: Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei: Villa Farnesina/Palazzo Corsini via Della Lungara - Roma Italy Schedule: October 21 - 1997 Morning: Arrival and Registration.
