The Sixth Workshop on Black Hole Magnetospheres
March 5 (Tue) - 7 (Thu), 2013
National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu
- After the discovery about 40 years ago, black holes are used as astrophysical laboratories for studying the physics of general relativity and high-energy plasma phenomena. In this workshop, we envisage a program highlighting the most recent results, as well as revisiting fundamental arguments of black-hole astrophysics. This workshop has been held in Japan every year, and this year, will be held in Taiwan for the first time.
- The objective of this workshop is to outline a future coordinated program of collaborative work between Taiwan and Japan on the physics of compact objects. Everyone is cordially invited.
Topics:
- # Accretion onto compact objects,
- # Structures of black-hole magnetospheres,
- # General-relativistic effects around a black hole,
- # Radio(VLBI)-imaging of the vicinity of a black hole,
- # Formation, propagation, and acceleration of jets
- # Other topics (e.g., black holes, pulsars, jets, ...)
