28th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics

The Texas Symposia on Relativistic Astrophysics discuss astrophysical discoveries in the fields related to the relativistic theory of gravitation, cosmology, black-holes, quasars, neutron stars, X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts, particle acceleration, the cosmic background, dark matter and dark energy. The 28th Texas Symposium, organized by the University of Geneva, took place in Geneva December 13-18, 2015. It included morning plenary sessions and 20 afternoon parallel sessions. 460 scientists participated from 46 countries. The videos of the plenary morning sessions are available here. Presentations given during the parallel sessions are available on the conference web site at http://indico.cern.ch/event/336103/
