Dear Colleagues,
(apologies if you receive the same information multiple times)
The extended abstract submission deadline for the 30th Texas Symposium is 7th October 2019.
The 30th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics takes place in Portsmouth, UK, from Sunday 15 to Friday 20 December 2019.
As convener of the parallel session on Gravity / Numerical Relativity, I would like to encourage you and your colleagues to submit an abstract for this session.
Registration for early-bird fees will end on 25 October 2019, and general registration will close on 22 November 2019. See the web site http://texas2019.org/https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftexas2019.org%2F&data=01%7C01%7Chelvi.witek%40kcl.ac.uk%7C846733836f5f40de570508d7436d8cc7%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=lMs6v0cU7Yw1ZE5i1KJex73W1GJv24vFdez9Z72yE5o%3D&reserved=0 for more details and the information appended below.
I hope to see you in Portsmouth in December.
Best wishes,
Helvi

The Texas meetings have covered topics such as black holes, gravitational waves, neutron stars, cosmic rays, dark matter and the early Universe since the first symposium, held in Dallas in 1963. Following the tradition of previous meetings, the 2019 Symposium will cover a broad range of subjects in relativistic astrophysics, including:
Gravity: Test of Gravity, Modified Gravity, Quantum Gravity, Numerical Relativity
Cosmology: CMB, Reionisation, Early Universe, LSS, Lensing, Supernovae, Dark Energy, Simulations
Gravitational Waves: Modelling, Sources, Experiments, Pulsar timing
Messengers: Cosmic Rays, Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Neutrinos
Relativity At Work: Black holes, AGN, Quasars, Neutron stars, Discs, Jets & Magnetic Fields
Participants are invited to submit abstracts for presentations in parallel sessions covering topics listed below. Participants can each submit one abstract for consideration under one or more topics, to be selected by the convenor(s) named below for each session. We may create additional parallel sessions where there is sufficient demand.
