Physics of Accretion and Associated Outflows
TAC / NORDITA, 5-8 January 2000

Accretion discs play an important role in a wide range of astrophysical environments, for instance in protostars and protogalaxies, active galaxies and quasars, X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables. In many cases, the discs are also associated with collimated outflows, jets, in particular in protostars and active galaxies. The theoretical description of the accretion discs and their jets utilizes ideas from several branches of modern astrophysics, magnetohydrodynamics and turbulence theory, radiative transfer, general relativity, as well as star and galaxy formation.

The purpose of this meeting is to assemble the experts in the different fields to discuss the present status from different points of view and, hopefully, to formulate a unified approach to the theory of accreting cosmic objects.

Local Organizing Committee:
Chair: Igor Novikov (TAC/NORDITA), Secretary: Anette Uhl (TAC), Axel Brandenburg (NORDITA), Per Rex Christensen (TAC), Åke Nordlund (AO/TAC).
