November 17, 2003 from: C. Carilli (NRAO) to: Authors re: Chapter list for "Astrophysics with the Square Kilometer Array" cc: R. Schilizzi Following is the revised chapter list as per the Leiden retreat, Nov. 2003. If I got it wrong, please let me know. Some overlap has developed in a few areas. I will contact you separately in those cases. Also, the list has expanded since Geraldton. Overall, the evolution is positive, but please remember these chapters are not supposed to be a review of all aspects of radio astronomy, but specifically targeted to the unique role SKA will play in future areas of astrophysics. Let's avoid expanding beyond the current list, and some shrinkage is acceptable. cc ====================================================================== Suggested Chapters/Authors for SKA Science Book edition 1: Carilli, April 11, 2003 revised based on ISAC input: July 2003 revised CC: November 3, 2003 revised at Leiden Retreat: November 14, 2003 Note: each numbered item is one chapter.
