COSPAR 2008 - Accretion and Ejection in AGN

The organizers hope to emphasize contributions from younger members of the community. PhD students are strongly invited to apply.
A (very limited) amount of money will be available to facilitate participation in the 37th COSPAR Scientific Assembly. Young scientists who intend to apply for financial support can find more information at the COSPAR Assembly web site http://www.cospar-assembly.org/.

Scientific Rationale

The meeting will be devoted to the comprehensive discussion of recent observational and theoretical developments in Active Galactic Nuclei related to high energetic phenomena associated to ejection of accreting material. Relativistic collimated jets are observed from the radio to the gamma ray band, and the study of winds and outflows has been progressing noticeably in the last few years, thanks to new spectroscopic observations in the UV, optical and X-ray bands.
The physical link between the processes of accretion and ejection seems also promising to understand the mechanisms regulating the gas infall, and to determine the kinetic and physical properties of the expelled matter.
This two days event is focused on investigating accretion and ejection phenomena that occur at all scales, especially based on recent observations at all wavelengths and their interpretation.

Scientific Topic

Topics of the event will include: accretion (disks, flows,rates/types, obscuration, redshift evolution); outflows and winds (observational evidence, dynamics, origin); jets (life-cycle: what triggers them, how long they live; dependence of their properties on the nature of the central engine; dynamics: launching, collimation,propagation and evolution over orders of magnitude in physical scale; populations of AGN jets); impact on environment and on galaxy evolution.

One of them will be the Event E17 titled " Accretion and Ejection in AGN: AMultiwavelength View". The meeting, covering a 2 days session, will include a limited numbers of solicited talks and contributed presentations and a poster session. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged visit the E17 Event webside http://www.iasfbo.inaf.it/cospar2008/. This website will be update regularly with additional information.
