The Future of X-ray Timing

Amsterdam, October 21-25 2019

X-ray timing is enjoying a renaissance: new physical insights, coupled with new ways to look at the data and powerful new facilities, are enabling rapid progress. The conference will focus on the observational and theoretical aspects of the key variability processes, often common to a range of compact objects (from stellar mass to supermassive).  We will consider the current state-of-the-art in the field as well as looking forward to new developments, including future facilities, new techniques and applications.

  • X-ray pulsations
  • X-ray bursts and burst oscillations
  • QPOs and their origin
  • Accretion-driven variability: from observations to GRMHD simulations
  • X-ray reverberation mapping
  • Multi-wavelength variability
  • New X-ray timing missions
  • Techniques and wider applications
