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
