INVITATION

The Astrophysics and Solar Research Groups at Montana State University-Bozeman warmly invite you to Montana for Symposium 195 of the International Astronomical Union, which will be held from Tuesday, July 6, through Saturday, July 10, 1999. The meeting will focus on high-energy processes taking place in astrophysical plasmas, and will include discussion of the mechanisms of high energy emission from various magnetized and thermal plasmas. Particular emphasis will also be given to jets and accreting systems in active galactic nuclei and around compact objects in Galactic binaries, neutron stars, black holes, the Sun, supernovae, gamma ray bursts, soft gamma repeaters and the early universe. Attendees are invited to submit abstracts for contributed papers. Abstract submission, as well as registration, can be performed electronically from this Web site. Additional details and the final program will be posted when they become available.
