Poster of the Workshop

Workshop description

Leiden Observatory has organized for several years a number of informal workshops on high redshift radio galaxies (HzRG) that have been very successful. Next one will be held here, at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía in Granada (Spain) on 18, 19, 20 April 2005. It will be spring time, a very beautiful season in the area, before the intense summer heat strikes.

In April 2005 it will be almost two years since the last Leiden Workshop (June 2003) on Emission Line Halos around HzRG and about two and a half years since the last big Leiden Workshop covering a broader range of topics (Nov 2002). Since then a lot has happened in the field and there are many new interesting results to present and discuss.

Although the workshop will be focussed specially on HzRG, we will cover a broader range of topics (also at lower redshift) which have direct impact on our understanding of HzRG. The workshop is intended to be very informal and with plenty of time for discussion.

Participants

The  maximum number of attendants will be ~50. You can find the list of participants here.

Program

The program is shown on the table below. In order to have enough time at the end of each day for scientific discussion, the invited talks will be 25+5 minutes and the normal talks will be 15+5 minutes. The abstracts are here.

Conference dinner at Mirador de Morayma..

Registration fee

No registration fee will be charged.


Posters

There will be no poster session.


Conference proceedings


The conference proceedings will be published in the January or February 2006 volume of Astronomical Notes or Astronomische Nachrichten. All the final manuscripts have to be in the editorial office by ~end September. The papers will be refereed by us. In order to have enough time for this, the deadline to send us your contribution will be end July. This will also give some time for possible necessary interactions with you about your paper. You can find the instrucions for authors and the necessary style files at the AN home page.


Conference dinner (Wednesday)


A conference dinner will be organized at the restaurant Mirador de Morayma. on Wednesday 20th April. In the heart of the Albaicin district, with very nice views to the Alhambra and the city. A bus will pick people up from the hotels to go to the Albaicin District. The bus will stop first at 20:00 at Hotel Corona and then at 20:15 at Navas Hotel. We will cover the dinner expenses, except for the non registered people.

Coming to Granada


Granada has an airport, so you might be able to fly directly here (or via Madrid) from your country. You might find however, cheaper flights to Malaga, which is at ~2 hours by bus and ~1.5 hours by car (forever by train). For people flying from UK, Ryanair could be a cheap option since they will fly from London Stansted to Granada from February the 5th.

If you do the Malaga-Granada trip by bus, there are frequent city buses (every ~15-20 minutes) from Malaga airport to the main bus station in Malaga, where you should get the bus to Granada. These buses run every hour and are quite good. If you come by car, see next section.

Reaching the IAA

To reach the IAA you have several options. If you arrive in Granada...

* By Plane: Take a taxi to the IAA or your hotel directly. There are some buses from the aiport to Granada, but they are not syncronous with the planes.

* By Train: When you arrive at the train station, ask for Av. de la Constitución and take bus number 11 (direction Puerta Real). This bus has a bus stop in front of the IAA.

* By Bus: When you arrive at the bus station, take bus number 10 to Av. de America. The last stop is near Av. Primavera, quite close to the IAA (see map).

* By Car: See maps.

The building in the small circle is the IAA

Looking forward to seeing you in Granada
