VI Microquasar Workshop: Microquasars and Beyond

MQW6 - (other mqw conferences)
September 18-22, 2006
Como, Italy
published August 28, 2007

The workshop focuses on the physics of relativistic jet sources in the Universe, from Galactic Microquasars to Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma-Ray Bursts. This is an epoch when a large number of high-energy astronomical missions are operative (RossiXTE, Chandra, XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, Swift, Suzaku). The large wealth of X-ray and gamma-ray data, coupled with ground-based observations in the optical-IR-radio bands, provides increasing information on microquasars, allowing the investigation of the physical processes for the formation and the evolution of relativistic jets, as well as their relation to the accretion process. The information obtained from galactic systems can be compared with that from other objects, from Ultraluminous X-ray Sources in external galaxies, to powerful Active Galactic Nuclei, to Gamma-Ray Bursts. This workshop, the sixth in a series devoted primarily to Galactic Systems, is intended for the presentation and in particular the discussion of recent results and physical models of microquasars seen in a broader context, also involving extragalactic sources.
