[MODEST] Marcel Grossmann 13 in Stockholm

[David Merritt]

Peter (at least I think it is you who will read this),

I was wondering if the following message could be sent out over the MODEST email list.

Dear MODEST member,

I encourage you to register for parallel session EG4, "Self-Gravitating Systems",
at the upcoming Marcel Grossmann meeting in Stockholm:

  http://www.icra.it/mg/mg13/par_sessions_chairs_details.htm

Here is the session abstract:

Parallel Session: EG4 - Self-Gravitating Systems

Description: Galaxy nuclei and the cores of globular clusters are regions where the density of stars can reach millions per cubic parsec. Modeling the dynamical evolution of such systems is critical for understanding a number of fundamental processes, including core collapse, the creation of massive black holes, and the generation of gravitational waves. But the computational challenges are severe, due to the large range in time scales; the steepness of gravitational force gradients near a massive compact object; the need to include relativistic corrections to the equations of motion; and finite-size (collisional) effects, among other factors. This session will focus on recent progress in this area.    

While there will be poster sessions at MG13, the meeting organizers have stated 
their hope of assigning a speaking slot to everyone who requests one. 

D. Merritt
