Galaxy Clusters
 
THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear colleagues,
this is the 3rd (and last) announcement of the conference on "The mass profile of galaxy clusters from the core to the outskirts: the need for a multi-wavelength approach".

Please note that the deadline for the registration at the conference and the hotel booking (15 February 2013) is approaching. The final program will be announced by February 22nd.

The website of the event is accessible at https://www.eiseverywhere.com/ehome/26651
To register click on "New Registration" on the right hand side. 

The venue of the meeting is the Carlo Magno Hotel SPA & Resort, about 2.5km (30 minutes walking approx.) from the center of Madonna di Campiglio (TN, Italy). 

We have reserved a block of rooms in the Hotel which are available at a discounted rate for about one hundreds participants.  
Please follow the accommodation link on the conference website in order to book the hotel. 
Reservations should be made no later than **15 February 2013** to obtain the discounted rate. 
Please, use the "Galaxy Cluster" code in the subject of your e-mail when you submit your request for a room. Otherwise, specify that you are attending the conference if you prefer to book by telephone.

More infos on how to reach Madonna di Campiglio and the hotel are listed below.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission, registration: 15 February 2013 Hotel booking deadline (discounted rate): 15 February 2013 Final program: <22 February 2013

THE MASS PROFILE OF GALAXY CLUSTERS from the core to the outskirts: the need for a multi-wavelength approach 
Madonna di Campiglio (Italy): 18-22 March 2013
Location: Hotel Carlo Magno (http://www.hotelcarlomagno.com/) in Madonna di Campiglio (~170 km north of Verona, ~200 km NE of Milano)

Rationale: The distribution of the gravitating and baryonic mass in galaxy clusters is the key ingredient to use galaxy clusters as astrophysical laboratories and cosmological probes. We propose to discuss this issue in a conference that will be focused mainly on the following items: (1) the reconstruction of the cluster mass profiles from the core to the virial radius through X-ray, SZ, optical, strong and weak lensing techniques; (2) the use of the observable quantities as proxies of the gravitating mass; (3) the mapping of the physical properties of the cluster outskirts; (4) the estimates of the systematics affecting mass reconstruction and cosmological implications of these measurements.
