We are pleased to announce the workshop “Particle Acceleration in Astrophysical Objects” (PASTO2022), that will be held at the Astronomical Observatory of Rome (Italy) on September 5-7, 2022.

The workshop will bring together theoretical, phenomenological, and observational aspects of the acceleration processes in astrophysical objects. Our purpose is to build and consolidate a network of collaborators from complementary fields in Astrophysics and Astroparticle Physics, encouraging cross-topic exchange of ideas and expertise. 

The meeting will cover the following topics:

• theory of particle acceleration in Astrophysical environments: diffusive shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, plasma and microphysics
• galactic astrophysical accelerators: supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, stellar winds
• extragalactic astrophysical accelerators: AGN jets and winds, gamma-ray bursts, starburst galaxies
• phenomenology of the acceleration processes: gamma rays, pevatrons, neutrinos, polarization signatures
• modeling the interactions of particles: leptonic and hadronic models for the gamma-ray emission, neutrino emission

The workshop will be held in presence, with the possibility of remote attendance for a limited number of registrants.

Selected invited talks will offer a review on the main topics, with dedicated round tables at the end of every day. 

A number of contributed talks and posters are welcome. 

The call for abstracts is already open, and the registration will open on May 10th, 2022.
