WELCOME
This workshop is the seventh of the series of conferences mainly devoted to Galactic black holes.
The conference will cover all topics related to relativistic jet sources in the universe including
microquasars, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts. The results of the analysis
of data from high energy missions (RXTE, Chandra, XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, Swift, Suzaku, Agile) as well
as from ground based observatories in the optical, infrared and radio bands will be presented. The emphasis
will be on the formation and evolution of jets, and their relation to other accretion components.
The broad context of the workshop will also allow researchers to present their results on the comparisons
between microquasars, neutron stars, ultraluminous X-ray sources, active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts.
The workshop also intends to include presentations on recent missions (e.g. GLAST, ASTROSAT) and missions
in preparation (e.g. XEUS) concentrating on the prospects of black hole research with those missions.
The program will be organized in sessions centered around a limited number of invited reviews,
with contributed presentations and ample time for discussion. Young researchers will be encouraged
to contribute.
