AGN Spectral States



Unification of Black Holes
across the Mass Scale


27-28th of November 2019

Vila Lanna, V Sadech 1, Prague

Scope of the meeting

This meeting is to review our current knowledge of the accretion states of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN), their similarities and differences from the X-ray binaries. The main goal of the meeting is to discuss and set plans for collaborative work to progress in our understanding of AGN spectral states with the emphasis on whether the various AGN jet properties (radio dichotomy) are due to different spin values or rather related to accretion properties, similarly as for X-ray binaries.
