The purpose of this online mini-workshop is to review recent developments of public and non-public models for the emission of accreting black holes in the X-ray band. 

Every talk is 30 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A and we will have dedicated time for further discussion.

Organizers:

Askar Abdikamalov (Fudan, China)

Cosimo Bambi (Fudan, China)

Jiachen Jiang (Cambridge)

Honghui Liu (Fudan, China)

Zuobin Zhang (Fudan, China)
