Since 1963, the Texas Symposia have been a biennial, peripatetic forum for forefront developments on a wide range of topics in relativistic astrophysics, from pulsars to string theory, from the birth of the universe to the death of stars. The 26 plenary lectures, 230 parallel session talks and 265 poster presentations attest to the scientific vitality of this interdisciplinary field.
This text, which results from aq major astrophysics convocations, treats such subjects as binary pulsars, clusters of galaxies, large-scale structures, recent highlights of HST, sources of gravitational radiation, X- and gamma-background, Machos and dark matter, the solar neutrino problem, quasar absorption lines, inflationary cosmology, particle physics and cosmology, recent highlights of GRO, galactic centers, COBE results, high redshift quasars, quantum gravity, recent highlights from ASCA and ROSAT, supernovae and cosmic rays at high energies.

The year 2005, which marked the 100th anniversary of the 'annus mirabilis', the year in which Albert Einstein published three of his most important scientific papers, was the perfect opportunity to review and to present the current scientific understanding of relativistic topics. This book provides an up-to-date reference on the theory of gravity, relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. It is a useful reference tool for both the expert and the new-comer in these fields.
The proceedings will be of interest to scientists, researchers, and graduate students in several areas of Relativistic Astrophysics, including Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, High Energy Astrophysics and Gravitational Wave Physics. Started in 1963 in Dallas, the Texas Symposia on Relativistic Astrophysics have become one of the leading international conference series in the field of Relativity, Cosmology and Gravitation. These Proceedings contain invited review talks given by leading experts on the occasion of the 25th Texas Symposium in Heidelberg, Germany, December 2010. Topics covered include Dark Energy, Tests of General Relativity, Gravitational Waves, Progress in High Energy Astrophysics, Cosmic Magnetic and Radiation Fields. The volume will be of particular interest for students and researchers in all fields connected to Relativistic Astrophysics.
From the reviews: "Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world." Space Science Reviews#1 "Dividing the whole field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a little more space on those shelves for future volumes."
