That's all folks! A huge thanks to everyone for making this a successful meeting. Do share pics. #hitomi #ikebana #xrayastronomy #Perseus @sotonastro

A few missing pics from yesterday's poster session... @boorm Sourabh Nampalliwar, Corbin Taylor, Dom Walton. Thanks for all the excellent contributions.

Ehud Behar discusses xrays from the BLR in NGC 4051. Strong intercombination line is the key, and high densities support BLR origin.

Jiri Svoboda presents simulations with ⁦@AthenaXIFU⁩, highlighting prospects for determining the radial structure of the accretion disc #xcal2019

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Need ultra strong field but could explain high accretion rate. Feature is transient. Need more detections!

Murray Brightman: ULXs!

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Narrow 4.5 Kev line in M51 ULX8. Possible signature of proton cyclotron?

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

6 ULX pulsars known so far...

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Future: softer response is better for TDEs.

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Kicking off the final day with exciting stuff on compact objects. The promise of TDEs, by Erin Kara.

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Is 1ES 1927+65 a TDE? Interesting source.

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

What happens in Winchester, stays in Winchester... not!

[Peter Boorman @boorm]

I’ll admit, I don’t go to bars often... Are they all like this? #xcal2019

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Perfect weather and excellent backdrop for the conference dinner!

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Whoops! Unintentionally missed a few folk on the steps. Here you go...
