- Scope
|
Black holes place themselves at the center of research on energetic astrophysical events such as gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and other exotic objects. Black hole astrophysics has been highlighted in terms of accretion and related processes around black holes. The School will provide an opportunity for interactions among theoretical physicists and high-energy astrophysicists in Asia-Pacific countries. Basic and advanced lectures as well as reports on recent developments in this field will be presented. Anyone interested in black hole astrophysics is welcome to participate. The format of the school will be informal and ample time will be given to discussions. |
- Topics to be Covered
Accretion Processes onto Black Holes
Observational Status of Black Holes
Formation and Growth of Black Holes
Jets and Magnetic Fields
