Date: 18-22 January 2016

Venue: Hotel Tirol, Muju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea

=================================================

   On behalf of the SOC, we are delighted to announce the 6th Fermi Asian Network (FAN) Workshop. FAN was established in 2010 to promote collaborations among the high energy astrophysicists in Asia with particular focus on using the data obtained by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope for observational and theoretical investigations. Over the last few years, we have published a series of papers on gamma-ray astronomy. In order to review our effort and expand our collaboration, we will hold the 6th workshop in Hotel Tirol, Muju, South Korea. The followings are the core topics of this workshop:

- Rotation-powered pulsars and their wind nebulae

- Magnetars

- Gamma-ray binaries

- Supernova remnants

- AGN/Galactic Center

- Gamma-ray transients

- Unidentified Fermi Objects

  This workshop will emphasize on both discussions and formal presentations. We will also hold a mini hands-on training course to help students and postdoc to analyze Fermi data.

  Invited Speaker: Masahiro Teshima (ICRR, U. Tokyo)

Registration: The registration fee is 500000 KRW and will be collected on the first day of the workshop. Breakfast, conference dinner and tea breaks are included in the registration fee. Everyone is welcome to participate in this workshop. You are encouraged to make a contributed talk related to the workshop. The registration deadline is 1 Nov 2015.
