This meeting is dedicated to the memory of Tomaso Belloni, whose pioneering contributions to X-ray timing and spectral states in compact accreting systems continue to shape the field.
This conference, to be held in Cefalù (Sicily, Italy) on 7–11 September 2026, will bring together the international high-energy astrophysics community to discuss recent advances in the understanding of accretion processes, variability and jet formation in X-ray binaries and related compact objects.
