The conference will take place in São José dos Campos from September 10-14, 2007, at the auditorium Fernando de Mendonça of the Laboratório de Integração e Testes of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais.

Program

I - Cataclysmic variables
- structure of non-magnetic systems
- dwarf novae, nova-like variables and nova remnants
- novae in eruption
- magnetic cataclysmic variables
- evolution of cataclysmic variables

II - Generation mechanisms of gravitational waves
- pulsating modes of neutron stars
- quasinormal modes of black-holes
- compact binary systems: periodic, chirp, and impulsive emission
- monochromatic waves from single compact objects
- burst emission (e.g., from supernovae)
- stochastic emission (cosmological backgrounds, overlap of sources such as double white dwarf systems)

III - Compact objects
- structure of white dwarfs
- structure of neutron stars
- physical description of black holes
- strange stars

IV - Accretion processes in neutron stars and black holes
- jets and microquasars
- milisecond pulsars
- ADAF (and beyond!) models
- accretion flows
- thermonuclear Bursts
- high and low states of luminosity: spectral behaviour
- cyclotron resonant scattering features

Registration: Monday 8:00
Opening session: Monday 8:30
