Let us know about XMM-Newton related Ph.D. and prizes for XMM-Newton results
As already announced in previous issues of this Newsletter, the XMM-Newton team is collecting information about the completion of doctorates and Ph.D. theses based on (or making use of) XMM-Newton observations.
We would appreciate if you - being a candidate or a supervisor of a doctorate - could let us know details through the page
Also, we would be grateful if you could inform us (via a message to XMM-Newton HelpDesk, with subject "Ph.D. thesis work") in case you are aware of theses from, or supervised by, colleagues that make use of XMM-Newton data but are not yet included in the above list.
In addition, the XMM-Newton SOC is compiling a list of prizes won based on XMM-Newton results, see
Information about such prizes can be sent via e-mail to the HelpDesk indicating the name of the winner, year, prize name and granting institution.
Yours sincerely,
XMM-Newton SOC
