Exploring the Hot and Energetic Universe: the third scientific conference dedicated to the Athena X-ray Observatory

ESA has recently confirmed that the adoption of Athena is scheduled for February 2023, and the delivery date of the “Definition Study Report” (a.k.a. “The Red Book”) is set for December 2022. The conference will be the ideal environment to show that Athena will provide cutting-edge science in the 2030s, by itself and in synergy with the other facilities that will be available in that exciting period.

Topics: The Athena Project in the Context of the ESA Science Programme, The Results of Phase B1 Activities for Athena, Scientific Activities in the Study Phase, The Athena Optics, The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit, The Athena Wide Field Imager, International contributions, The Athena Background and other Athena Mission Performance (TOO, FoR..)
