Welcome!

Welcome to the blog for "Defining the Neutron Star Crust: X-ray Bursts, Superbursts and Giant Flares", a conference sponsored by Los Alamos National Observatory, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, and the CompStar collaboration, to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico May 18-21 2009.

In the run-up to the meeting, we'll be introducing your intrepid bloggers, who will be posting brief summaries of the talks as they happen, giving you an insider's ear to the discussions around the conference room, and a view outside to what is going on around Santa Fe. We'll also be posting any last-minute or additional information for those who are traveling to the conference. Postings will have comments sections, and we hope to hear from those who are physically present with us in Santa Fe, and those who are following the proceedings from a distance.

We're looking forward to see you.
