WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: THE X-RAY MYSTERIES OF NEUTRON STARS AND WHITE DWARFS

The XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre is organising a major astrophysical workshop

The X-ray Mysteries of Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs

from Wednesday 5th to Friday 7th June 2024

at ESAC

The X-ray emission from neutron stars and white dwarfs has been a subject of extensive research, unveiling unique insights into the high-energy phenomena occurring within these compact stellar remnants. In this meeting, we gather experts from various disciplines to delve into the latest advancements in understanding the X-ray emission processes, its origin, and the astrophysical implications associated with neutron stars and white dwarfs.

More details will be announced in the coming weeks in the Workshop Web Page.

ESA RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN SPACE SCIENCES

ESA's postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme offers early-career scientists and engineers the possibility to carry out research in a variety of disciplines related to Space Science, Space Applications or Space Technology. Research Fellowships in Space Science specifically offer the opportunity to contribute to ESA's endeavour to explore our Solar System and the Universe, in the fields of Heliophysics, Planetary Science, Astrophysics and Fundamental Physics.

Appointments are for a maximum of three years. The initial project is for two years. An extension for a third year requires a dedicated proposal and is very frequently granted.

Next call, for fellowships starting in Autumn 2024, will open on

28 August 2023

with an application deadline on

18 September 2023
