The Programme is composed of Invited Lectures (40 min) and Progress Reports (20 min).
The Posters will be exhibited in the Conference room. The poster size should be UP TO 80 x 100 cm. It will be possible to present shortly the poster contributions (5 min), so, we ask the participants with posters to prepare a convenient presentation.

Dependance of Excessively Broadened Ha Profile on Cathode Material and Gas Pressure in a Glow Discharge
Special session "Spectral Lines and Black Holes", Friday June 10, 2011
Some of the spectral lines are emitted in the plasma that is close to a black hole. It is well known that iron-K emission line is probably originating in the accretion disk formed around Black Holes (BHs). Therefore the iron-K emission line profile may be used to estimate the BH parameters (spin and mass). On the other hand the broad emission lines as CIV, Halpha and Hbeta in Active Galactic Nucelei (AGN) can be used for BH mass estimates. Also, in spectra of AGN unusual double-peaked line spectra can be present that may indicate candidates for binary supermassive black holes (BSMBHs). In this special session organized in the frame of the COST Action MP0905 "BLACK HOLES IN A VIOLENT UNIVERSE" we are going to have several invited talks devoted to the different techniques which are using the spectral line shapes to determine the BH parameters.
