Huntsville in Nashville: The Seventh Huntsville Gamma-Ray Burst Symposium, Spring 2013, in Nashville, TN

该奖项将为早期职业科学家和研究生提供参与者支持，以参加由位于亨茨维尔的亚拉巴马大学和美国宇航局马歇尔太空飞行中心主办的“第七届亨茨维尔伽马射线爆发研讨会”。它将于2013年4月14日至18日在田纳西州纳什维尔的赫顿酒店举行。Swift和Fermi团队将组织这次关于伽马射线爆发研究的国际会议，涵盖与该领域相关的主题，包括但不限于这两个任务提供的结果。伽玛射线暴是伽玛射线天空中已知最明亮的源之一，在比观测到的最远星系更远的距离上可见，被认为是最强大的自然粒子加速器。在keV到GeV能量范围内的快速可变相位明亮之后是余辉相位，更典型地从无线电到X射线观察。对于更广泛的影响，它特别关注早期职业研究人员。大力鼓励以海报形式投稿。研讨会将以与这一研究领域相关的主题为特色的公开讲座。这项活动将与Barnard-Seyfert天文学会合作组织，该学会在每月的会议上举办免费的公开讲座。

This award will provide participant support for early career scientists and graduate students to participate in the "7th Huntsville Gamma-ray Burst Symposium" hosted by the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. It will be located at the Hotel Hutton in Nashville, TN, from April 14-18, 2013. The Swift and Fermi teams will organize this international conference on Gamma-Ray Bursts studies, covering topics relevant to the field, including, but not limited to, the results provided by these two missions. Gamma-Ray Bursts are among the brightest known sources in the gamma-ray sky, visible at larger distances than the furthest galaxies observed, and thought to be the most powerful natural particle accelerators. A prompt, variable phase bright in the keV to GeV energy ranges is followed by an afterglow phase, more typically observed from radio up to X-rays. For Broader Impacts, it has a particular focus on early career researchers. Contributions in the form of posters are strongly encouraged. The workshop will feature a public lecture on a topic related to this field of research. This event will be organized in collaboration with the Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society, that hosts a free public lecture in each of their monthly meetings.
