14th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics; December 11-16, 1988; Dallas, Texas

第14届相对论天体物理研讨会将于1988年12月11日至16日在得克萨斯州达拉斯举行。自1963年在达拉斯举行第一届德克萨斯相对论天体物理学研讨会以来，德克萨斯研讨会正在庆祝其25周年。德克萨斯研讨会每隔一年举行一次，是天体物理学和相对论主要领域最新发展的国际总结。每两年举行一次的会议在美国不同的城市举行，每三次会议在外国举行，例如1978年在德国慕尼黑举行的会议，1984年在以色列耶路撒冷举行的会议。第一次关于类星体发现的报告是在第一届德克萨斯相对论天体物理研讨会上发表的。脉冲星被确认为中子星，黑洞的第一批候选者，引力波存在的间接证据，毫秒脉冲星，以及其他相当重要的发现，都是在德克萨斯研讨会上首次提出的。除此之外，X射线天文学，粒子物理学和宇宙学的相互作用，大爆炸理论和早期宇宙，星系形成，活动星系核，超新星和致密天体，宇宙射线和最近的广义相对论问题都在德克萨斯研讨会上被广泛讨论。1988年德克萨斯研讨会将主要邀请回顾讲座，全面概述天体物理学、宇宙学相关主题、粒子物理和空间科学以及相对论等前沿领域的主要发展。

The 14th Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will be held in Dallas, Texas December 11 -16, 1988. The Texas Symposia are celebrating their 25th Anniversary since the first Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics was held in 1963 in Dallas. The Texas Symposia take place every other year and serve as international summary of recent developments in the main areas of astrophysics and relativity. The biannual meetings are held in different cities in the U.S., and every third meeting is held in a foreign country such as the meetings in Munich, Germany in 1978, land in Jerusalem, Israel in 1984. The first presentations on the discovery of quasars were made at the first Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics. The identification of pulsars as neutron stars, the first candidates for black holes, the indirect evidence for the existence of gravitational waves, millisecond pulsars, and other rather important discoveries were first presented at the Texas Symposia. In addition to this, X-ray astronomy, the interaction of particle physics and cosmology, big bang theories and the early universe, galaxy formation, active galactic nuclei, supernovae and compact objects, cosmic rays and recent problems of general relativity were extensively covered at the Texas Symposia. The 1988 Texas Symposium will have mainly invited review talks which give a comprehensive overview of the major developments in the forefront of astrophysics, cosmology related topics of particle physics and space sciences, as well as relativity theory.
