As announced in a previous issue of the XMM-Newton Newsletter, the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre of the European Space Agency is organising the Science Workshop "Black Hole Accretion under the X-ray Microscope”, from Monday 13 to Friday 17 of June 2022.

Abstract submission for this workshop is now open. It will close on Thursday 3 March.

Registration will open at the beginning of April.

AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING

The meeting will focus on black hole accretion and its consequences, following the accretion flow from the direct relativistic environment of the black holes out to galactic scales. The two flagship X-ray missions XMM-Newton and Chandra are constantly expanding the frontiers of our knowledge. Many further international X-ray observatories, like NuSTAR, NICER, SRG / eROSITA and ART-XC, Swift, MAXI, Integral, HXMT and AstroSAT, are continuously discovering new phenomena. Multi-wavelength observations, complementing the X-ray data, are often crucial to sharpen our view of the accretion phenomenon and its effects on its surroundings. The meeting aims at providing an opportunity to discuss new results, open questions, and pathways for future progress in the field.

Topics

• Extreme variability events
• Active Galactic Nuclei
• Black Hole X-ray binaries and ULXs
• Cosmology, Surveys, Dual AGN
