Both the number and types of extragalactic very-high energy gamma-ray
emitters has pleasingly increased substantially during the last few years.
This international scientific workshop,
“Beamed and Unbeamed Gamma-rays from Galaxies”, which took place from
11-15 April 2011 in Lapland Hotel Olos, Muonio, Finland, was aimed at reviewing
and discussing the current knowledge and
understanding of gamma-ray emission both from active and other types of
galaxies (e.g., starburst galaxies) particularly in the light of results
delivered recently from high-energy and very-high energy gamma-ray
instruments as well as multiwavelength studies.
The workshop consisted of invited review talks and contributed talks. “Round table”
discussions enabled the exchange of facts and ideas.
It hopefully also facilitated communication between theorists, phenomenologists
and observers and started new collaborations.
The venue in Lapland is an extraordinary location, and guaranteed a very
intense workshop, but also offered a beautiful winterly scenery and
possibilities for outdoor activities (like, e.g., downhill skiing, a husky sledding or a
snowmobile tour). It is well connected from Kittilä airport and can be
reached within 2 hours flight from Helsinki airport.
Please note that no credit cards, debit cards, etc., can be accepted and that the closest ATM/cash dispenser is located about 10 km from the hotel. Lodging and hotel bill could of course be paid with major credit cards. Contact: Supported by: ![]() Excellence Cluster "Origin and Structure of the Universe"
