First Announcement





*XMM-Newton Workshop The X-ray Mysteries of Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs *







* ESAC, Madrid, Spain 5 - 7 June 2024 Organised by the XMM-Newton Science
Operations Centre of the European Space Agency (ESA) *
AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING

The X-ray emission from neutron stars and white dwarfs has been a subject
of extensive research, unveiling unique insights into the high-energy
phenomena occurring within these compact stellar remnants. It offers
invaluable insights into compact object formation, stellar evolution, and
the interplay between magnetic fields, radiation, and matter in extreme
conditions. In this meeting, experts from various disciplines will delve
into the latest advancements in understanding the X-ray emission processes,
its origin, and the astrophysical implications associated with neutron
stars and white dwarfs.

This workshop will explore the diverse X-ray emission mechanisms, ranging
from thermal emission due to accretion processes, magnetic fields, and
nuclear reactions, to non-thermal emission originating from particle
acceleration and magnetic reconnection events. X-ray spectra and timing
properties will be discussed in detail, enabling a deeper understanding of
the underlying emission mechanisms and the associated astrophysical
phenomena. The role of X-ray emission in the context of binary systems will
be discussed, investigating the interactions between compact objects and
their stellar companions.
