The workshop is part of a biannual sequence of workshops for the presentation and discussion of high energy astrophysical results of observations with the INTEGRAL satellite as well as from other space missions and ground based observatories.
The theme of this workshop is the physics and characteristics of compact object such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The phenomena covered are gamma-ray bursts, X-ray bursts, micro-quasar activity, transients of any kind, pulsars, and surveys for the source classification.
In addition there is a number of invited highlight talks that give overviews of other high energy astrophysics fields. For the topics not directly covered by the main theme there are poster sessions that include the nuclear line emission, diffuse emission, and instrument descriptions. The last session is on future gamma-ray missions.
Gamma Ray Bursts - where are we going?
Spectral properties of 3 bright gamma-ray bursts observed by INTEGRAL and limits on the level of polarisation.
Search for precursor activity in Swift/BAT gamma-ray bursts.
Origin of thermal and non-thermal hard X-ray emission from the Galactic center.
Spectral and temporal study of the Z source GX 340+0.
Increased stability of nuclear burning on neutron stars due to rotation.
Swift and Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients: a novel monitoring approach.
Is the ejection of the corona a general phenomenom in microquasars?
Can we improve on the Performance of Coded Mask Instruments?
