Twelfth International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation; Boulder, Colorado; July 2-8, 1989 (Physics)

第十二届国际广义相对论和引力会议是由国际广义相对论和引力学会主办的每三年举行一次的一系列会议中的下一个会议。这次会议（称为“GR-12”）将于1989年7月2日至8日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行。广义相对论和万有引力的主题在过去十年左右的时间里变得越来越重要。与高能粒子物理学的联系源于对宇宙学和宇宙形成初期的研究。新的天文观测和天体物理学研究表明，在活动星系核中极有可能存在质量极大的黑洞。其他物体中存在黑洞的证据，以及在许多天文事件（如射电星系的喷射）中相对论效应的重要性的证据也存在。对双星脉冲星的观测以及对月球和其他行星距离的观测使得对引力理论进行非常精确的检验成为可能。探测引力波的新技术正在开发中。这笔奖金将用于支持受邀演讲者的旅费和支持来自美国的与会者的旅费。

The Twelfth International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation is the next in a series of meetings held once every three years, under the auspices of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. This conference, (known as "GR-12"), will be held in Boulder, Colorado from July 2-8, 1989. The subjects of General Relativity and Gravitation have assumed increasing importance in the past decade or so. Ties to High-Energy Particle Physics arise from studies of cosmology and of the early moments in the formation of the universe. New astronomical observations and astrophysical studies make the existence of extremely massive black holes in active galactic nuclei seem very likely. Evidence for black holes in other objects and for the importance of relativistic effects in many astronomical events such as the emission of jets from radio galaxies also exists. Observation of the binary pulsar and of distances to the moon and other planets have permitted very accurate tests of gravitational theory. Development of new techniques for detection of gravitational waves are proceeding. This award will support travel costs for invited speakers and travel funds to support conference participants from the United States.
