Rationale

Accretion powers some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, from nearby accreting white dwarfs to distant active galactic nuclei. These systems share the same underlying physics, yet they are studied by largely separate communities. Building on the 2023 and 2025 editions, VAM 2027 brings these communities together in two back-to-back meetings: Week 1 on stellar-mass compact objects and Week 2 on active galactic nuclei. The aim is to cross-compare and test accretion physics across the scales.
