Description

High Energy activity from compact stars and collapsed objects: The high energy activity near compact objects, isolated or in binary systems, will be presented. The high voltage environment of these objects and associated high energy photon or particle emission will be discussed. The mechanisms that may accelerate in the bulk matter to relativistic speeds and focus it into narrow jets near compact stars and black holes will be described.
