The meeting will consider accreting black holes in two major contexts:
I) stellar mass black holes in our own galaxy, and
II) supermassive black holes in the centers of active galaxies.
Particularly, the following topics with be considered on the workshop: observations and analysis of broad-band spectra of accreting black holes; observations and analysis of temporal variability of accreting black holes; radiative processes; physical processes in the vicinity of black holes; accretion disk theory; physics of jets.
Due to the specialized focus of the meeting and the limited amount of space, the attendance is limited to invited participants only.
