This award supports a scientific workshop, to take place at Montana State University (MSU) in August 2015, to plan and prepare for the upcoming era of extreme gravity astrophysics. The workshop will discuss how to get the most out of the data we expect to obtain in the next few years from the NICER telescope, the Event Horizon telescope and the advanced LIGO/Virgo detectors. The format of the workshop will be relatively informal to encourage a collaborative atmosphere, in analogy to the one hosted in 2013 at MSU on gravitational wave tests of General Relativity. The workshop will have four focus sessions on neutron star observations and the equation of state, black hole shadows, gravitational wave astrophysics and experimental relativity.The workshop will take place on August 20 - 22, 2015 at the Alumni Foundation of Montana State University. Each day will be divided into two subset, each of which will cover a single topic, for a total of six topics. These will include neutron star astrophysics and observations, the neutron star equation of state, NICER astrophysics, gravitational wave astrophysics, the Event Horizon telescope, and experimental relativity with gravitational waves and with cosmology. The workshop is expected to be small (of order 50 people) so as to increase the participation of all attendees. A few overview talks will be planned for each day, where the discussion leader will summarize the most recent successes in each topic and present questions that still need to be addressed. The overviews will act as a catalyst for discussions and exchange of ideas.

该奖项支持于2015年8月在蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）举行的科学研讨会，为即将到来的极端重力天体物理学时代计划和准备。研讨会将讨论如何从未来几年获得的望远镜，活动地平线望远镜和高级LIGO/WIRGO探测器中获得我们期望获得的数据。讲习班的格式将相对非正式地鼓励协作氛围，类似于2013年在MSU上托管的一般相对论的重力波测试。该研讨会将在中子星观测以及状态，黑洞阴影，引力波天体物理学和实验相对性方程进行四次焦点会议。研讨会将于2015年8月20日至22日在蒙大拿州立大学的校友基金会举行。每天将分为两个子集，每个子​​集将涵盖一个主题，总共六个主题。这些将包括中子星天体物理学和观测，状态的中子星程，更好的天体物理学，引力波天体物理学，事件地平线望远镜以及与重力波和宇宙学的实验相对性。预计该研讨会将很小（订单50人），以增加所有与会者的参与。每天都会计划进行一些概述对话，讨论负责人将总结每个主题中最新的成功，并提出仍然需要解决的问题。概述将充当讨论和交流思想的催化剂。
