The High Energy Phenomena in Relativistic Outflows (HEPRO) conferences are a cycle of biennial events devoted to the discussion of the most recent developments, either theoretical, phenomenological, or observational, on the major themes of high-energy and multi-messenger astrophysics associated with relativistic winds and jets, on all scales. Some specific themes that will be addressed at HEPRO VIII include gamma-ray and neutrino production in relativistic outflows, the environments of compact objects, the physics of relativistic sources, multi-messenger connections, and particle acceleration.

The International Meeting on Eclipsing Binary Star Systems (EBS) will take place in Paris, France, on November 11 and 12, 2023. The main goal of the 2023 meeting is to review eclipsing binary systems from a theoretical and observational point of view. Therefore, this meeting is planned for both professionals and amateurs. However, most of the focus of the meeting will be on the W UMa-type binary systems, which are one of the most interesting types of binary systems and are important astrophysical tools for understanding star formation, structure, and evolution. A large number of these binary systems have not been observed and analysed yet. In order to analyse these binaries, it is usually necessary to have appropriate ground-based observations at the large and small observatories. We welcome all branches regarding eclipsing binary systems. Another goal of this meeting is to establish proper communication between professionals and amateur observers in this field.

This meeting was organized by the Société astronomique de France, Paris Observatory and the BSN project. ‘English’ is the meeting language, and the number of places for face-to-face participation is limited.

Binary star systems

Stars are the building blocks of our Universe. Not only do they synthetise all heavy elements such as carbon and oxygen, but they heat and energize their surrounding medium and host planets, the cradle of life. Understanding star formation is therefore of broad and fundamental interest in astrophysics and beyond. Yet it is an extremely rich multi-scale and multi-physics process which entails several fields of knowledge in interaction. The purpose of the school is to provide the newer generation of scientists working in this field with the basic knowledge necessary to carry out research in this field. Students and early postdocs are particularly welcome to register.
