We are very pleased to announce our second Working Group meeting this year. At the meeting, the Working Groups will report on the their progress and future plans, and we invite everyone to come join in our discussions and look forward to hearing from you. For more details on the meeting and how to join please see https://iachec.org/fall-virtual-meeting-2021/ 

We are also very pleased to announce our Fall Plenary: November 16th (9:00 – 10:00 EST/14:00 – 15:00 UTC)

The X-ray Polarimeter Mission XPoSat by Biswajit Paul (Raman Research Institute). 

XPoSat is a mission dedicated for the study of polarization of cosmic X-ray sources. See full abstract.

After careful consideration, we have decided to cancel the in-person meeting at the Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke, VA, scheduled for May 22-26, 2022. The decision was made because we did not feel we could adequately ensure everyones safety in this continued pandemic environment due to low vaccination rates in the area, and because of continued travel restrictions at many institutions, which would limit international participation. It was also an economic decision, as the IACHEC is not capable of transferring funds between meetings and unable to absorb the impact of a meeting with lower than expected participation.

We have instead, hopefully, for the last time, converted into a virtual meeting on the days May 23-25, 2022, and direct you to the details here.

If you paid for this meeting in advance, please contact Trish Dobson at trish@eurekasci.com and she will arrange for a full or partial refund depending on your needs. 

Please join us for our April Plenary Series.

April 16 (11am – 12pm EDT) on XRISM

April 23 (11am – 12pm EDT) on eRosita

April 30th (11am – 12pm EDT) on IXPE

In light of the continued troubled times and the uncertainty of when our institutions may allow travel again, we are postponing the 15th IACHEC meeting yet again to September 13–16, 2021. We will still be meeting at the Mountain Lodge in Pembroke, VA, and if you had already booked a room the reservation will be automatically moved to the new date.

Date: November 23rd (9am – 12pm EST) – November 24th (9am – 12 pm)

We are pleased to announce that the IACHEC will be hosting an online symposium with the specific purpose of presenting the work of the IAHCEC to the high-energy astrophysics community. The topics will be focused on the known calibration issues of individual missions, their cross-calibration, and how such problems may manifest in your data set and how they may be dealt with.
