The XMM-Newton Guest Observer Facility is organizing a 25th Anniversary science conference to be held 19 – 22 May in Baltimore, MD.
This conference will focus on currently exciting XMM-Newton science, synergies between XMM and other missions, and implications for the future. We are planning invited and contributed speakers and poster sessions. We especially encourage those new to the field of X-ray astronomy to attend. There is no registration fee for this conference.
