DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. Dr. Manami Sasaki\, Friedrich-Alexander-Univer
 sität Erlangen-Nürnberg\, Prof. Dr. Werner Becker\, Max-Planck-Institut 
 für extraterr. Physik\n\n\n \nThe WE-Heraeus seminar “Galactic Frontie
 rs 2026” aims to bring together leading scientists and early-career rese
 archers in the field of Galactic X-ray astronomy to explore recent advance
 s enabled by today's X-ray observatories\, e.g.\, eROSITA\, XMM-Newton\, C
 handra\, and XRISM. These instruments provide an unprecedented dataset for
  studying both diffuse and point-like X-ray sources across the entire sky\
 , with a focus on the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies.\nThe seminar w
 ill address a range of key topics: the nature and origin of diffuse X-ray 
 emission in the interstellar medium (ISM)\, supernova remnants (SNRs) as s
 ources of energetic particles and feedback into the ISM\, and the populati
 on and evolution of compact stellar remnants like white dwarfs\, neutron s
 tars\, and black holes. A central theme will be the synergy of X-ray data 
 with observations across the electromagnetic spectrum\, including optical\
 , radio\, infrared\, and gamma-ray bands. Particular attention will also b
 e given to the growing contributions of international amateur astronomy ne
 tworks in the optical detection of degree-wide extended SNRs and nebulae.\
 nThe seminar will take place from June 15 to 18\, 2026\, at the Physikzent
 rum in Bad Honnef. The program includes invited overview talks\, contribut
 ed presentations\, and poster sessions. A concluding excursion to the Effe
 lsberg 100m radio telescope is also planned. The event aims to bring toget
 her researchers at all career stages\, support early-career scientists thr
 ough additional funding from the DFG-funded eRO-STEP project\, and lay the
  groundwork for collaborative\, multiwavelength research on Galactic high-
 energy phenomena.\n\nThe conference language will be English. The Wilhelm 
 and Else Heraeus-Foundation bears the cost of full-board accommodation for
  all participants.\n\nhttps://indico.we-heraeus-stiftung.de/event/44/
