Dear colleagues

We are very pleased that the X-ray symposium entitled "New Century of X-ray Astronomy" was successfully held on March 6 - 8, 2001 at Yokohama.The final number of attendants is 284. There were 52 oral papers including 13 invited talks and 206 poster papers. All results were exciting and informative. We hope all participants enjoyed the session as well as the discussion in the lobby, since there were many key members gathered from all over the world. As the summary of this symposium, we put the "exams" with the ten questions to us from Dr. Roger Blandford in his summary talk. Please click here (Microsoft PowerPoint) !

The proceedings are to be published within 6 months from PASP. Please prepare manuscripts to make it a good summary of the current prospects of X-ray astronomy in the 21st Century. The instruction will be available on this web page soon.Thank you again for your contribution to the symposium in various aspects.
