Microquasar Workshop XI: First Circular
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 11th Microquasar Workshop «A Microquasar Odyssey: unveiling the Complexities» that will take place at Cefalù, Sicily, Italy, on 15-19 September 2025.
Similarly to the past Microquasar Workshops, the aim is to gather theorists, observers and specialists of the field, discussing the latest results and reviewing the current state of our understanding of the physics of stellar mass compact objects in the context of the instruments devoted to this science (such as XRISM, IXPE, NICER, NuSTAR, MeerKAT, etc.).
Large dedicated time will be devoted to the following specific points:
- Multi-wavelength observations: broadband SED, (high resolution X-ray) spectroscopy, (X-ray) polarimetry ;
- Accretion-ejection connection;
- Outflows (jet, winds) signatures, properties and modelling;
- Formation, evolution and merging;
- Temporal behavior and Timing properties.
The program will be organised in 9 sessions centred around a limited number of invited reviews, with contributed presentations (oral and poster) and time for discussion.
