Conference Location and Date: Cambridge, Massachusetts, 15-17 November 2004

Subseries: Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics; Astronomy and Astrophysics; Plasma Physics

Published June 2005; ISBN 0-7354-0259-0 One Volume, Print; 430 pages; 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 inches; Hardcover; $154.00

Readership: X-ray astrophysicists; atomic physicists interested in astrophysics; astronomers or astrophysicists interested in x-ray spectroscopy; plasma physicists interested in x-ray spectroscopy

This conference brought x-ray astrophysicists together with atomic physicists and spectroscopists, both theoretical and experimental, to discuss how the characteristics of x-ray-emitting astropysical plasmas can be determined using high-resolution x-ray spectra. Presentations ranging from theoretical atomic modeling to surveys of observational results from x-ray satellites were given.
