Title: Accretion processes around compact objects: from stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars to supermassive black holes
Rationale:
The accretion process onto a compact object exhibits a variety of high-energy astrophysics phenomena. The purpose of this mini-symposium will be to explore and compare the current observations and recent theoretical progress in order to understand the fundamental physics of accretion flows, outflows, and jets.
Particular emphasis will be placed on these systems' remarkable time-domain and multi-wavelength properties and on the consequences of accretion, such as flares, winds, and jets by recent observations including GRAVITY, EHT, Insight-HXMT, etc. The experts on all aspects of this field will share insights on the several open questions in our understanding of accretion physics as a whole by combining new results from observations and theoretical developments.
Topics:
The mini-symposium will cover these topics with two special focus sessions:
- The physics of accretion flows and jets from supermassive black holes in Sgr A* and M87 (focused on recent results from GRAVITY and EHT)
- The physics of accretion flows and jets from accreting neutron stars and black holes (focused on recent results of Insight-HXMT)
- Relativistic wind and outflows from neutron stars, magnetars, microquasars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts
- The launching of jets in accreting sources, and disk-jet coupling
- Disk outburst and related state transition
