2012年12月15日至20日，第26届德克萨斯州相对论天体物理学研讨会（德克萨斯州2012）在巴西圣保罗举行。这是这一传统而重要的专题讨论会第二次在南半球举行，第一次在南美洲举行。主办这样一个研讨会对我们巴西来说是一种荣誉。我们非常感谢得克萨斯专题讨论会国际组织委员会提供这样一个机会。与以前的版本一样，德克萨斯2012涵盖了宇宙学，引力，天体粒子物理学以及相对论天体物理学相关领域的最新发展。在得克萨斯州2012年的网站上，http：//www. das。国际和平研究所br/texas 2012 sp，您可以找到有关所介绍主题的更多详细信息。值得强调的是，德克萨斯2012年有26位全体发言人，他们回顾了与相对论天体物理学相关的不同主题。几乎所有全体会议的发言都可在网页http：//www. das。国际和平研究所br/texas2012sp/program. PHP.我们借此机会感谢所有2012年德克萨斯州的演讲者。在这一期的《巴西物理学杂志》中，人们可以找到全体演讲者撰写的精选论文集。我们感谢Harry Blom博士使这一特刊的出版成为可能。还举行了一些平行会议，内容涉及宇宙学、银河系和星系间天体物理学、致密天体、高能天体物理学、天体粒子物理学、替代模型和理论、新窗口、引力波、新项目和任务、相对论天体物理学中的量子效应和相对论天体物理学仪器。我们非常感谢平行会议的主席帮助制定科学计划。德克萨斯州2012年还举行了三次针对公众的会谈。我们非常感谢乔治·马察斯、马丁·马克勒和豪尔赫·霍瓦特接受在这些公开会议上发言。如果没有巴西机构CAPES、FAPESP和CNPq的财政支持，巴西不可能主办2012年德克萨斯州运动会。我们非常感谢他们的支持。我们还感谢IUPAP的财政支持。我们代表地方组织委员会，非常感谢科学组织委员会所做的出色工作（见http：//www. cn. org/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cn/cncn/cncncn/cncncn/cncncncncncncncncncncncncncncncnc das。国际和平研究所br/texas2012sp/organizingcommittee. php）分别由Odylio Aguiar博士和Jorge Horvath博士担任主席和联合主席。只有在地方组织委员会的积极参与下，才有可能组织专题讨论会（见http：//www.hk.org/hk.cn）。das。国际和平研究所br/texas2012sp/organizingcommittee. php）。我们感谢所有同事的合作精神。其中，塞萨尔·科斯塔在许多问题上提供了极其宝贵的帮助。最后但并非最不重要的是，我们感谢巴西物理学会，巴西天文学会，圣保罗会议和旅游局，以及我们的秘书（由Valéria Fernandes领导）的宝贵支持。
The 26th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics (Texas 2012) was held in São Paulo, Brazil, on 15–20 December 2012. This was the second time this traditional and important symposium had taken place in the southern hemisphere and the first time in South America. It was an honor for us in Brazil to host such a symposium. We thank very much the International Organizing Committee of Texas Symposia for such an opportunity. As in previous editions, Texas 2012 covered the recent developments in Cosmology, Gravitation, Astroparticle Physics, and related areas of Relativistic Astrophysics. In the website of Texas 2012, http://www. das. inpe. br/texas2012sp, one can find additional details on the presented topics. It is worth stressing that Texas 2012 had 26 plenary speakers, who reviewed different topics related to relativistic astrophysics. Almost all the plenary presentations can be found at the webpage http://www. das. inpe. br/texas2012sp/program. php. We take this opportunity to thank all Texas 2012 speakers. In this issue of the Brazilian Journal of Physics, one finds a collection of selected papers written by plenary speakers. We thank Dr. Harry Blom for making possible the publication of this special issue. A number of parallel sessions were also held, which covered Cosmology, Galactic and Intergalactic Astrophysics, Compact Objects, High Energy Astrophysics, Astroparticle Physics, Alternative Models and Theories, New Windows, Gravitational Waves, New Projects and Missions, Quantum Effects in Relativistic Astrophysics, and Instrumentation for Relativistic Astrophysics. We thank very much the chairs of the parallel sessions for their help in drawing the scientific program. Texas 2012 also had three talks targeting the general public. We thank very much George Matsas, Martin Makler, and Jorge Horvath for accepting to talk in these public sessions. It would be impossible for Brazil to host Texas 2012 without the financial support given by the Brazilian agencies CAPES, FAPESP, and CNPq. We thank them very much for the support. We also thank IUPAP for its financial support. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we thank very much the excellent work done by the Scientific Organizing Committee (see http://www. das. inpe. br/texas2012sp/organizingcommittee. php) chaired and co-chaired by Drs. Odylio Aguiar and Jorge Horvath, respectively. The organization of a symposium is only possible with the active participation of the Local Organizing Committee (see http://www. das. inpe. br/texas2012sp/organizingcommittee. php). We thank all my colleagues for their spirit of collaboration. Among them, César Costa must be mentioned for his extremely valuable help on many issues. Last but not least, we thank the Brazilian Physical Society, the Brazilian Astronomical Society, the São Paulo Convention & Visitors Bureau, and our secretaries (headed by Valéria Fernandes) for their invaluable support.
