The Multifrequency (or Multiwavelength) Workshop will be held on Friday afternoon, November 13, from 2:00 until 6:00 (or earlier if we decide or the hotel closes the room). This will be an informal discussion of the future plans for Fermi and related facilities.  The primary focus will be on AGN, since most of those who have registered are interested in that topic.  We can change the agenda if other topics emerge.

    What theory/modeling is needed to support observations?

AgendaDraft agenda

2:00 - 2:15  Introduction and finalization of the agenda

2:15 - 3:00 AGN Variability - Discussion leader: Alan Marscher - Alan's Slides

    Are there patterns of variability in gamma rays that relate to other observables (polarization swings and VLBI ejections have been suggested.  Others?)

...

3:00 - 3:45  AGN Demographics - Discussion Leader: Matt Lister - Google Docs: tinyurl.com/agndemographics

    What do we learn from blazar sequence, blazar divide, FSRQ/BLLac differences, near/far emission regions or other ways of sorting AGN by various properties?

...

    How crucial is it to properly characterize (FSQRs FSRQs vs BL Lac, measure redshifts) the large (and increasing) fraction of LAT blazars lacking this information?

3:45 - 4:00  Break

4:00 - 4:45  AGN SED Modeling - Discussion leader: Justin Finke - Slides

    With the large number of parameters used in AGN SED modeling, has any trend emerged about which of these are really important?  Is there real hope of distinguishing leptonic from hadronic models?

...

4:45 - 5:30  Observing strategy - Discussion leader: Stefan Wagner - Slides

    While it would be great to have every AGN monitored at every wavelength all the time, that is not practical.  Should we have more intensive pre-planned campaigns on certain AGN or rely on notices of activity to trigger campaigns?
