The Focus Meeting will take place on August 4th and 9th.
Scientific rationale
The goal of this Focus Meeting is to bring together experts in observational, theoretical and computational astrophysics with the aim of promoting our understanding of the physics of relativistic jets. Relativistic jets are among the most powerful manifestations of the energy released by compact objects on galactic and extragalactic scales. Non-thermal processes operating in jets are responsible for multi-messenger emissions, such as broadband electromagnetic radiation and high-energy neutrinos, and synergies can be drawn with gamma-ray bursts and gravitational wave emitters. Despite much effort, aspects of jet physics, such as the launching mechanism, jet collimation, high-energy emission, the life-cycle of jets, and the impact on the surrounding medium remain in debate. A combined and comprehensive approach, including observational, numerical and theoretical work is required to tackle the open issues. This meeting will discuss recent and forthcoming developments in observing techniques across the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. EHT, SKA-VLBI, ALMA, LSST, JWST, and CTA) and in numerical simulations that will be a step forward in our understanding of the physics of relativistic jets.
Key topics are:
- The central engine: EHT results and properties of the jet-launching region; jet formation, acceleration, propagation, collimation and dissipation properties; particle acceleration and radiation; the role of the magnetic field; structured jets; multi-band and multi-messenger observations; polarization measurements
- Jet properties – large scale: Jet interaction with the ISM; Jet power and the properties of the host galaxy; Jets and the IGM; Jets in large-scale surveys
- Jets across all scales: from AGN to Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs); connection with gravitational wave astronomy; GRBs at very high energies;
- The next generation of telescopes and new surveys: first results, plans, expectations

2. Atelier Science Extra-galactique Harmoni (8 Mars 2022)
Harmoni (spectrographe intégral de champ VIS et IR proche), un des instruments de première lumière pour l’ELT, arrive en phase de construction et devrait être opérationnel en 2027. Ce projet en phase FDR a une forte implication technique de la france sur l’IFU et l’AO et l’intérêt de la communauté française extra-galactique pour cet instrument est important.
En 2022, nous devons nous organiser pour maximiser le retour scientifique car l’ESO a soulevé des points durs qui suscitent de nouvelles évaluations et certains choix techniques devront être fait en 2022. Ces choix peuvent avoir un impact sur la science extragalactique et l’objectif de cet atelier est d’échanger autour de la thématique de la science extragalactique avec Harmoni, afin d’informer au mieux la communauté sur le statut du projet, ainsi que de coordonner les besoins et capabilités à maintenir pour la science extragalactique.
L’atelier est prévu pour le Mars 8, et l’inscription se fait sur le site suivant:

3. Postdocs (or assistant professors) at QUP, KEK
Deadline: February. 28, 2022
The International Center for Quantum-field Measurement Systems for Studies of the Universe and Particles (QUP) at KEK solicits applications for its Postdoctoral Fellowship program.
Each appointee will have opportunities to work with 13 initial PIs.
We plan to hire about 20 postdoctoral fellows.
We may offer a higher position at the rank of assistant professor to outstanding candidates.
Please see the following sites for details:
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/programs/21028 （AcademicJobsOnline）
https://www.kek.jp/en/jobs/qup21-1e/ (Advertisement at KEK web page)
The posting shall remain open until the positions are filled, however for full consideration, we encourage all candidates to apply by February. 28, 2022.
QUP was established on December 16, 2021, at KEK as one of the research centers under the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI)of the Japanese government. It is a brand new research center.
With “Bringing new eyes to humanity” as its tagline, QUP will invent, develop, and implement new measurement systems to lead discoveries in cosmology and particle physics.
QUP’s missions also include applications of the new measurement systems to a wide range of academic fields and society-related research.
