Welcome

We invite you to attend and participate in the conference 'AGN Winds on the Georgia Coast'. The conference will be held at Jekyll Island Club Hotel from Sunday, June 25 - Thursday, June 29, 2017, approximately 6 years after the last AGN Winds conference in Charleston, SC. Since then, observations of AGN across the electromagnetic spectrum have continued to reveal complex physical processes driven by AGN outflows at all size scales. This progress warrants a specialized meeting to summarize these developments and promote the discussion and exchange of new ideas.

Specific topics at the conference include:

• Observations of AGN outflows across the electromagnetic spectrum
• Locations and geometries of outflows from accretion disks to host galaxies
• Spatially resolved observations of outflows
• Molecular outflows and their impact
• Connection to AGN feeding - inflows and accretion
• Physical constraints on the outflowing gas and acceleration mechanisms
• Simulations and energetics of AGN winds
• Effects of AGN winds on their environments, feedback

The meeting will consist of 15 - 20 minute contributed talks over 3 1/2 days (Monday - Thursday afternoon) plus poster sessions over this entire period (reception on Sunday evening). A significant amount of time will be set aside for poster presentations, one-hour group discussions, and informal conversations during lunch and other breaks. We strongly encourage students and postdoctoral associates to come and present their work, and will set aside a number of time slots for the above. We anticipate about 80 participants.

The meeting will be held at an historic resort hotel, Jekyll Island Club Hotel , which will set aside a block of rooms at reduced rates. Sharing of rooms will help to further reduced the costs. Details on meeting registration, program, and room reservations will be added to this website by the end of January, 2017.

We hope you join us and look forward to your participation!

Sincerely,

Mike Crenshaw on behalf of the SOC and LOC
