After a very successful conference on the same topic in
Kolkata ten years ago, it is time to update our knowledge on black
holes. With that in mind, we are happy to announce the organization of
the second meeting here again during Feb. 10th-15th, 2008. The
present meeting is expected to be in a much bigger scale inviting
workers from all cross-sections, who have anything to do with
quantification or qualification of black holes (from quantum scale to
quasars), theoretically or observationally. Thus,
the conference will
cover all aspects of the theoretical and
observational results pertaining to the astrophysical stellar mass,
intermediate mass and super-massive black holes, primordial black
holes in cosmology, and mini-black holes in accelerators.
Kolkata, the popularly known as the City of Joy, also presented the
community the most suitable phrase, namely, 'black hole' for these
enigmatic objects.
The conference is
organized by the Department of Astrophysics and Cosmology of S.N. Bose
National Centre for Basic Sciences. To let visitors have a taste of
Kolkata and surrounding regions amidst natural beauty, we are holding
first
three days of the conference in Vedic village and the last
two days at Radisson Ffort,
both being very attractive, and luxurious spa and resorts. On the way
from one to the other we will have a short tour of the City of
Joy and have a poolside Banquate at the Radisson fFort .
Following this
meeting we will have a satellite meeting on Black Holes, Neutron Stars
and Gamma Ray Bursts during 16-17th February. There will be a ~24 hr
trip to Sundarban, the Delta of Ganges on the West Bengal Tourism boats.
