Frontiers in X-ray Astronomy - CS16 Splinter Session
Abstract
The "Frontiers in X-ray astronomy" splinter session presented recent discoveries and new topics of the field of stellar X-ray astronomy. The focus was on three topics that go beyond X-ray emission from solar-type dynamo action. We covered the fields of X-ray emission at the edges of the "stellar magnetic activity strip," magnetic Ap stars and brown dwarfs, further high-energy phenomena in young stars and jets and multi-wavelength campaigns and finally the interaction of stars and planets. These science themes were chosen to highlight new X-ray phenomena and debated topics that are of interest for a broader community including non X-ray scientists.
