Abstract: The workshop "The X-ray Mysteries of Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs" was organized by the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre (XMM-Newton SOC).The XMM-Newton SOC organizes a large scientific conference every three years.In the years in between, the Centre aims to organize scientific workshops, which are specifically aimed at hot topics of current astrophysical research where X-ray observations have a main impact on the recent developments.The 2006 workshop was focused on "Variable and Broad Iron Lines around Black Holes," in 2007, the workshop had the title "XMM-Newton: The Next Decade" exploring scientific perspectives for the mission, in 2009, the workshop was devoted to "Supersoft X-ray Sources: New Developments," in 2010, the participants focused on "Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources and Middle Weight Black Holes" in 2012, the workshop concentrated on "Galaxy Clusters as Giant Cosmic Laboratories," in 2013, the topic of the workshop was "The Fast and the Furious: Energetic Phenomena in Isolated Neutron Stars, Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants," in 2015, the participants discussed "The Extremes of Black Hole Accretion," in 2016, the workshop reflected on "XMM-Newton: The Next Decade," in 2018, the workshop discussed "Time-Domain Astronomy: a High Energy View," in 2019, the workshop looked at "Astrophysics of Hot Plasma in Extended X-ray Sources," in 2021, the workshop took "A high-energy view of exoplanets and their environments" and in 2022, the workshop participants studied "Black Hole accretion under the X-ray microscope.""The X-ray Mysteries of Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs" was the thirteenth workshop in this series.
