Scope:Present recent results and developments in the observation of neutron stars, black holes, and their environments. The session focusses on astrophysics in the high energy domain with emphasis on X-ray observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the XMM-Newton X-ray Telescope. The Marcel Grossmann Meetings take place every three years and bring together a large number of scientists to discuss recent advances in gravitation, general relativity, field theories, experimental tests including relativistic aspecte of high energy astrophysics. This is a great opportunity to present and discuss recent astrophysical reseach results with strong implications to general relativity directly with the relevant community.
