Keynote talk
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are powered by accretion onto a super-massive black hole. Despite of different mass and size-scale, the accretion processes might be similar to accretion on stellar-mass black holes in X-ray Binaries (XRBs). In this talk, I will review the observational studies aimed at comparison of accretion in AGN and XRB.

Most galaxies harbour a super-massive black hole (SMBH) in their centre but deriving its physical properties is not straightforward, especially if it is in quiescent state. If a star falls inside the tidal radius of the black hole its disruption can set on the accretion, which produces a distinctive observational signature. However, for characterising the SMBH from the observed tidal...
