===========================
July 8-12, 2013
The University of Hong Kong

We are delighted to announce the 4th Fermi Asian Network (FAN) workshop. The FAN collaboration consists of high-energy astrophysicists mainly from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea, and we are aiming to answer some of the major astrophysical problems by using Fermi data. Over the last year, we have published a series of papers with a focus on compact objects. In order to review our effort and expand our collaboration, we will hold the 4th workshop in Hong Kong. The core topics of the workshop will cover
•  * AGN/Galactic Center
•  * Diffuse gamma-ray sources
•  * Fermi transients
•  * Gamma-ray bursts
•  * Gamma-ray binaries
•  * Magnetars
•  * Millisecond pulsars
•  * Rotation powered pulsars
•  * Supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae
•  * Unidentified Fermi objects

The emphasis of this workshop will be on both discussions and formal presentations. We will also hold a mini hand-on training course to help students and postdoc to analyze Fermi data.

Invited Speakers:
Andrea Belfiore (UCSC)
Roberto Mignani (UCL)
Paul Ray (NRL)  TBD
Paulo Saz Parkinson (UCSC)
Patrick Slane (CfA)
Diego Torres (IEEC-CSIC)

Registration:
You are encouraged to make a contributed talk related to the workshop. The registration deadline is on June 1, 2013. Due to the limited space, priority will be given to those with contributed talks. Please visit http://www.physics.hku.hk/~astro/FAN4/Index.htm for registration and local information.

Please contact  Prof. K.S. Cheng (hrspksc@hku.hk) for any questions regarding this workshop.
