Scientific Motivation

After 4 years of dedicated service from the new generation of X-ray telescopes, XMM-Newton and Chandra, as well as results obtained from various multiwavelength observations, we are at a good point to revisit the topic of AGN physics. The workshop will review the new observations, will address recent open questions as well as suggested answers, and will pose new questions that require further investigation. We are planning a Monday-to-Thursday meeting. The workshop is by invitation only.

Main Topics:
1. Observational manifestations of relativistic effects
2. Mass, accretion rate and accretion processes in AGN
3. Physics of the surrounding material (winds, dust, torus ...)
4. Insight into AGN physics from recent surveys (SDSS, 2dF, deep surveys...)
