1st Circular sent Sept. 30, 2022
Dear colleagues
We are pleased to announce the organisation of the 10th Microquasar Workshop "The various facets of extreme gravity" that will take place at Heraklion, Crete, Greece, on 22-26 May 2023.
Similarly to the past Microquasar Workshops, the aim is to gather theorists, observers, and specialists of the field, discussing the latest results and reviewing the current state of our understanding of the physics of these sources. Large dedicated time will be devoted to the following specific points:
- Multi-wavelength observations: broad band SED, spectroscopy, polarimetry
- Accretion-ejection connection
- Outflows (jet, winds) signatures, properties, and modeling
- Formation, evolution, and merging
- Temporal behavior and timing properties
The program will be organised in sessions centered around a limited number of invited reviews, with contributed presentations and ample time for discussion.

The conference will be in person. It will take place at the five-star sea-side resort Kalimera Kriti (Good morning Crete), in the area of Sissi, about 40 km east of the Heraklion airport.
Pre-registration
