AST-0855306WilcotsThe Monster's Fiery Breath: Black Hole Feedback in Galaxies, Galaxy Groups, and Galaxy Clusters; June 1-5, 2009; University of Wisconsin-Madison.A large body of work has led to the conclusion that black hole feedback can play a critical role in the evolution of galaxies and of the large scale environment in which they reside. However, it remains unclear when feedback is most important, or even if it is a viable way to deliver the energy needed to heat clusters, groups, and galaxies. This meeting will bring the leading researchers in this field together, to debate the state of the art and to formulate the critical questions that must be addressed before the next big step: an observationally grounded, quantitative, self-consistent picture of black hole feedback. This assembly of theorists, numericists, and observers, should synthesize a more comprehensive picture of black hole growth in the context of structure formation, define clearly the outstanding theoretical and observational issues, and engage the next generation of scientists in discussing a frontier problem of astrophysics.The organizers expect significant involvement by students from underrepresented groups, due to their active recruitment effort. The meeting includes undergraduate lunches with conference speakers and a public lecture, to place conference highlights into a context accessible to a broad, public audience.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校：2009年6月1日至5日，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，《怪物的火热气息：星系、星系群和星系团中的黑洞反馈》。大量工作得出结论，黑洞反馈可以在星系及其所处的大范围环境的演化中发挥关键作用。然而，什么时候反馈是最重要的，或者它是否是提供加热星系团、星系和星系所需的能量的可行方式，目前还不清楚。这次会议将把这一领域的领先研究人员聚集在一起，讨论最先进的技术，并阐明在下一大步之前必须解决的关键问题：一张基于观测的、定量的、自我一致的黑洞反馈图。这个由理论家、数学家和观察家组成的会议应该在结构形成的背景下综合更全面的黑洞增长图景，明确定义悬而未决的理论和观测问题，并邀请下一代科学家讨论天体物理学的前沿问题。由于积极的招生工作，组织者预计将有来自代表性不足群体的学生的大量参与。会议包括与会议演讲者的本科生午餐和一次公开演讲，以将会议亮点放在广泛的公众听众能够接触到的背景中。
