30th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics

[Eli]

30th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics, Sunday 15 to Friday 20 December 2019, Portsmouth, UK

Deadline for submission of abstracts is 27th September.

Please register then submit your abstract

Deadline for payment for early-bird registration fees 25th October. (Requests for financial support please email Texas 2019).

Registration closes 22nd of November. See the web site for more details.

The Texas meetings have covered topics such as black holes, gravitational waves, neutron stars, cosmic rays, dark matter and the early Universe since the first symposium, held in Dallas in 1963. Following the tradition of previous meetings, the 2019 Symposium will cover a broad range of subjects in relativistic astrophysics, including:

Gravity: Test of Gravity, Modified Gravity, Quantum Gravity, Numerical Relativity

Cosmology: CMB, Reionisation, Early Universe, LSS, Lensing, Supernovae, Dark Energy, Simulations

Gravitational Waves: Modelling, Sources, Experiments, Pulsar timing

Messengers: Cosmic Rays, Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Neutrinos

Relativity At Work: Black holes, AGN, Quasars, Neutron stars, Discs, Jets & Magnetic Fields

Participants are invited to submit abstracts for presentations in parallel sessions covering topics listed below. Participants can each submit one abstract for consideration under one or more topics, to be selected by the convenor(s) named below for each session. We may create additional parallel sessions where there is sufficient demand.
