Extragalactic Jets: Theory and Observation from Radio to Gamma Ray; May 21-24, 2007; Girdwood, Alaska

星系外喷流：从射电到伽马射线的理论与观测2007年5月21日至24日，阿拉斯加，格德伍德，Alyeska度假村。这次国际会议将把理论学家和实验学家聚集在一起讨论河外喷流的物理学，从秒差距到千秒差距。使用射流-环境相互作用作为框架来探索射流物理是新颖的，并且是一种特别富有成效的方法，可以解决一些涉及射流的最基本和最难解决的问题，这些问题三十多年来一直没有解决。由于这种相互作用的辐射特征可以跨越能量的许多数量级，会议将展示和讨论x射线，光学，红外和无线电数据。此外，宇宙演化模型显示，在星系形成的早期，对能量反馈的需求日益增加，这可能来自活跃的星系核，因此可能与喷流有关。因此，这次会议的重点是了解喷流本身的基本参数，以及当前对星系形成和演化的研究。讲习班的一个主要目标是加强交流和进一步合作。会谈前后安排了充足的讨论时间。会议记录的出版将有助于确保会议取得的进展将对与会者的研究产生最大的长期影响，并且这种影响可以传播到与会者本身之外。这也将对阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学（University of Alaska Anchorage）产生重要影响。该大学是本次会议的主要主办单位，正在努力提高其在科学研究领域的知名度，并鼓励更多阿拉斯加学生留在该州接受高等教育。

AST-0720446RectorExtragalactic Jets: Theory and Observation from Radio to Gamma Ray; Alyeska Resort, Girdwood, Alaska, May 21st to 24th, 2007.This international meeting will bring theorists and experimentalists together to discuss the physics of extragalactic jets, from parsec to kiloparsec scales. The use of the jet-environment interaction as the framework to explore jet physics is novel, and is an especially fruitful approach to some of the most basic and refractory problems involving jets that have remained unsolved for over thirty years. Because the radiative signatures of this interaction can span many orders of magnitude in energy, the conference will present and discuss X-ray, optical, infrared and radio data. In addition, cosmogonic models show an increasing need for energy feedback during the early epoch of galaxy formation, which is likely to be coming from active galactic nuclei, and thus probably jet-related. The emphasis at this meeting is thus relevant to understanding the fundamental parameters of jets themselves, and to current research on galaxy formation and evolution.A major goal of the workshop is to enhance communication and to further collaboration. Ample time for discussions is scheduled between and around talks. Publication of the proceedings will help to ensure that progress made at the meeting will have the greatest long-term impact on the participants' research, and that this influence can spread beyond the attendees themselves. There will also be an important impact on the University of Alaska Anchorage, the primary local host for the meeting, which is working to enhance its visibility in scientific research and to encourage more Alaskan students to stay within the state for their higher education.
