Black Holes and Friends 2

11-13 April 2016 Fudan University (Shanghai, China)

Black holes and neutron stars are a fascinating class of objects in our Universe and an ideal laboratory to test fundamental physics, because characterized by conditions that cannot be easily reproduced on Earth. The workshop will focus on stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries, AGNs, GRBs, neutron stars, and pulsars. The program will include invited talks, contributed talks, and time for free discussions.
