Be stars themselves still represent a challenge to modern astrophysics. When in binary systems, their observation and modelling do not only shed light into our knowledge of the peculiarities of Be stars, but also into a variety of topics of great interest, like physics of accretion, matter and light in extreme conditions, and massive binary star evolution as progenitors of NS-NS or NS-BH systems, primary targets of GW detection in the present times.
Therefore, the intensive study of these objects by the scientific community must keep at the good pace that we have witnessed in the last decade. BeXRB 2024 will try to contribute to push knowledge in the field, promote collaborations, and offer lots of networking options among scientists from very different fields of research.
Phenomenology of BeXRB transient outbursts in the X-ray domain
Transient outbursts as laboratories of accretion physics
Timing studies of Be/X-ray binaries
Transfer of mass: from decretion to accretion, observation and modelling
Multi-wavelength observations and their implications
Population studies: Be/X-ray binaries with white dwarfs and black holes, BeXRB population in external galaxies
The high-energy gamma-ray connection
Prospects in the light of current and future space missions and multimessenger astrophysics
