27th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics (Jubilee Meeting)

该奖项为将于2013年12月8日至13日在达拉斯举行的第27届德克萨斯相对论天体物理研讨会提供部分支持。这次会议将纪念1963年最初的德克萨斯研讨会50周年。德克萨斯研讨会是相对论天体物理学领域的主要国际会议之一，主题包括致密天体物理、高能宇宙射线、活动星系核、早期宇宙以及观测和理论宇宙学。奖励资金包括报名费、旅费、住宿费和生活费，以支持10名研究生参加会议。这笔资金的更广泛影响在支持年轻天文学家和物理学家的职业生涯方面是显而易见的。

This award provides partial support for the 27th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics, to be held in Dallas, December 8-13, 2013. This meeting will mark 50 years since the original Texas Symposium in 1963.The Texas Symposium has gained a reputation as one of the major international meetings on topics in relativistic astrophysics, including the physics of compact objects, high-energy cosmic rays, active galactic nuclei, the early universe, and observational and theoretical cosmology. The awarded funds cover registration, travel, lodging, and subsistence expenses to support 10 graduate students to attend the meeting. Broader impacts of this funding are clear in terms of support for the careers of young astronomers and physicists.
