Wide Band Spectral and Timing Studies of Cosmic X-ray Sources
January 10-13, 2017 at TIFR-Mumbai, India
Wide band X-ray spectral and timing study of Cosmic X-ray sources has seen a tremendous boost in recent times due to the extension of focusing techniques to hard X-rays in NuSTAR and and the launch of Astrosat with a suite of instruments covering a wide X-ray range and also having a large area timing instrument. This conference aims to bring together experts in this field and have an in-depth discussion on several of the emerging research topics like:

This conference aims to bring together experts in this field and have an in-depth discussion on several of the emerging research topics like:
- Measuring the fundamental parameters of stellar mass black holes like mass and spin using X-ray spectral and timing studies.
- Time resolved X-ray spectral study of pulsars (accreting as well as rotation powered pulsars).
- Cyclotron resonance features in accreting neutron stars.
- Accretion geometry in Cataclysmic Variables.
- Multi-wavelength studies of AGN.
- Disk-jet connection across mass scales.
- Intermediate mass black holes.
- Hot astrophysical plasma.
