MEETING ABSTRACT:

Accretion Processes in X-rays: from White Dwarfs to Quasars



Current X-ray observatories have revolutionized the study of accretion
in diverse astrophysical settings. Chandra and XMM-Newton gratings
have enabled the detection of small velocity shifts and weak but
vitally important lines, and the central engine in nearby accreting
sources has been revealed in new detail. It is now possible to detect
extremely faint sources, enhancing our understanding of accretion
power throughout the universe and low-level accretion within the Milky
Way. Chandra has also revealed unexpected parallels between accretion
onto pre-main sequence stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars,
stellar-mass and super-massive black holes. The goals of this meeting
are: (1) to bring together a broad scientific community interested in
probing accretion physics from the X-ray perspective, (2) to leverage
the rich accretion phenomenology and diverse theoretical approaches
toward the understanding of accretion, and (3) to look ahead to the
next ten years with Chandra, and future X-ray missions as well.
