CompStar 2011

We announce the upcoming CompStar 2011 School and Workshop
on "Gravitational Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation from Compact
Stars", to take place at the Department of Physics and Astronomy,
University of Catania, May 3-12, 2011.

Following the previous CompStar meetings in Caen (2010), Coimbra (2009)
and Ladek-Zdroj (2008), the 2011 event will be dedicated to the
observational possibilities and their theoretical interpretation
regarding emission of electromagnetic and gravitational waves from
compact stars. CompStar2011 is divided into two parts :

* the School (3-7 May) is intended to train students on the
different observational methods on electromagnetic radiation in
different bands, and on gravitational waves, and how the
observations can be used to get insights into the structure of
compact stars. 

* the Workshop (9-12 May) is organized to give an overview of the
current research topics related to the phenomena occurring in
compact stars, both within the COMPSTAR project as well as
throughout the world. Students are especially encouraged to
present the results of their research at the Workshop.
