from Supermassive Black Holes to Galactic Solar Mass Black Holes
The meeting:
--------------------------------
High-Energy Radiation from Black Holes:
from Supermassive Black Holes to Galactic Solar Mass Black Holes
--------------------------------
Will take place in the frame of the COSPAR symposium in Paris, July 18-25 2004.
Sessions are planned on:
The Galactic Centre
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources
Black Holes in Binary systems
Active Galactic Nuclei: accretion and emission
The Cosmic Evolution of AGN and Quiescent Galactic Nuclei
Jets in the environement of black holes of all masses.
Each session is intended to last half a day and will be introduced by
one or possibly two reviews. Contributed talks of 20 minutes will follow.
Abstracts must be submitted before February 15 directly to:
Copernicus Gesellschaft
35th COSPAR Scientific Assembly

--------------------------------------
High energy astrophysics is benefiting from an unprecedented
set of observational capacities. We will address
results from the missions that have been launched in recent years.
The main missions now in flight are Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE
in the X-ray domain and INTEGRAL in the gamma
rays. INTEGRAL, the youngest of the missions, was launched in
October 2002. We therefore expect that the meeting
will take place at a time when the results will beginn to be numerous.
We will put a particular emphasis on work that involves several
of the missions in a complementary manner.
Both observational and theoretical interpretations will be discussed.
We will address the physics of matter around compact objects
and in particular black holes of all masses,
from solar masses to supermassive objects in the center
of galaxies, including intermediate mass objects. Both
thermal and non thermal processes play a role in these objects.
