Scientific Rationale:
The rationale for this
conference is to bring together experts in the physics of accreting
objects (and their environments) at
all mass scales, from stellar to AGN, to discuss critically the main,
still open, issues related to the high-energy
manifestation of these phenomena, such as:
- Accretion modes versus accretor mass.
- Inflows vs outflows
- Feedback
- Unification schemes
- States and state transitions in
neutron-star and black-hole binaries
- Timing (QPO, ms, kHz) and broad-band
spectral variability in X-ray binaries
- Jet-disk connection in black hole
binaries
- Compact X-ray source populations in
our Galaxy and other galaxies
