The program is designed to further recent theoretical progress in our understanding of the fundamental physics of accretion flows, outflows and jets, and the dynamical and thermodynamical connection between them. Much of this progress has been driven by large scale numerical simulations, but there has also been increased analytic and numerical understanding of the microphysics of these flows. It appears that a comprehensive physical, rather than phenomenological, theory of disks and outflows may be within our grasp.
The conference will bring together theorists working in all aspects of this field and observers who will present the challenges that physical theories of disks and outflows must satisfy.
The conference will cover three related areas:
* relativistic winds and outflows from pulsars, quasars, and
gamma-ray bursts
* the launching of jets in accreting sources, and the relation
between outflows and accretion
* the physics of accretion disks, ranging from young stellar
objects to white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes
