The past few years have witnessed major developments in the field of terrestrial planet formation. Thanks to the advances in computational technology, the three leading scenarios, namely, the traditional model, pebble accretion, and formation in rings, have become more complex, and have demonstrated their expansive success. How these approaches compare and contribute to developing a comprehensive model are among outstanding questions in planetary astrophysics. This session aims at introducing each scenario and assessing their capabilities by comparing their results to our knowledge of terrestrial planets in our solar system.

We are hereby announcing the ZIHUAGN Redemption: Central kpc Region congress, which will take place in the beautiful town of Zihuatanejo, México, from October 27 to 31, 2025.

The central kiloparsec of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is one of the most dynamic and complex regions in the universe, where extreme physical conditions shape the accretion, feedback, and energy transfer processes that influence galaxy evolution. This meeting will bring together researchers working on the key components of this region—accretion disks, broad line regions, dusty tori, jets, and outflows—through multi-wavelength observations and theoretical modeling. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive picture of AGN physics and its role in shaping galaxies over cosmic time. Zihuatanejo, a serene Pacific town, holds a special place in cinema history as the idyllic refuge where Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman’s characters reunite in The Shawshank Redemption. Beyond its cinematic charm, Zihuatanejo offers stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality—an inspiring setting for scientific exchange and collaboration.

Join us for an exciting and insightful meeting in a place that, much like the AGN central region, promises discovery and redemption.

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most dynamic and powerful sources in the universe, powered by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) through mass accretion. The accretion rate influences many AGN properties, with high accretion rates playing a key role in growing black holes and launching outflows that may shape the host galaxy's growth. The workshop will gather astronomers to summarize the field’s current status, bridging the accretion history from the early to the local Universe, and explore the mechanisms driving their growth and impact on the Universe.

Since 1963, the Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics has been one of the most important international conferences in astronomy and physics. Traditionally, it moves around the globe and takes place in different cities every two years.

The 33rd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will take place in the vibrant city of Tempe, AZ from December 8 – 12, 2025. The event will be hosted at The Omni Hotel very near Arizona State University which offers state-of-the-art facilities to ensure a productive and enjoyable meeting.

We are thrilled to announce that John Mather, Jim Peebles, Adam Riess, George Smoot (TBC), and Frank Wilczek have already agreed to participate and attend the symposium.

Beyond the symposium, Tempe in December offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventures and festive activities, making it an ideal winter getaway. The mild temperatures invite visitors to explore the scenic beauty of Tempe Town Lake, hike the iconic Hayden Butte, or stroll through the Desert Botanical Garden. You can also experience the Tempe Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade, a dazzling display of holiday lights along the lake. The city hosts various seasonal events, including holiday markets, outdoor concerts, and ice skating rinks, offering attendees a chance to enjoy the warm desert climate while celebrating the holiday season.

The symposium will cover all major topics on high-energy and particle astrophysics, cosmology and relativity. It will include morning plenary sessions and afternoon parallel sessions which will function as mini-symposia in each sub-field. The plenary sessions will consist of ~45 min review talks. The afternoon sessions will feature oral talks (about 15-30 min) and poster contributions.

We look forward to welcoming hundreds of international astronomers and physicists to Arizona in December 2025!

The aim of the workshop is to explore the implications and next steps of recent advances in understanding the dynamics and thermodynamics of near extremal black holes. By bringing together researchers in this area spanning the wide range of approaches, from rigorous mathematics, perturbation theory, and numerical methods, the workshop will focus on future directions. Extremal black holes are mathematical solutions of Einstein's equations describing stationary black holes with either maximal spin or maximal charge, and these black holes have special properties such as zero temperature. Recent studies have found certain surprising aspects of their dynamics including scalar hair and an avenue for their formation from subextremal configurations that violate the third law of black hole thermodynamics. These results raise a number of questions including the stability and critical behavior of such solutions that may be addressed via other research avenues.

The Galactic Center (GC) plays a pivotal role in the evolution of the Milky Way. It is instrumental in mapping and understanding the central regions of quiescent galaxies since it is the closest galactic nucleus to us. It serves as a unique test bed for both stellar dynamics in an extremely dense environment as well as magnetohydrodynamics in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). It is fundamental for studying star formation, because the conditions of its interstellar medium (magnetic fields, temperature, turbulence) are unlike any other place in the Milky Way. Despite many detailed multiwavelength studies of the central regions of our Galaxy, we still have many open questions concerning its history and future evolution. This symposium will bring together experts working on both observational and theoretical studies of the Galactic Center so that they can “traverse” this exciting region from Sgr A* and the surrounding dense nuclear star cluster to the central molecular zone and back, covering about eight orders of magnitude in spatial length. Looking at the Galactic nucleus from this vantage point will uncover details of its past processes and potential future. We will explore the remarkable progress made since the last major meeting of the community—the Galactic Center Workshop in Granada (April 24–28, 2023). We will examine exciting new results, including those from JWST and GRAVITY/ERIS at the VLT, as well as insights from ALMA and MeerKAT.

This workshop brings together leading experts in neuroscience, cosmology, and AI to develop new methods that not only help us understand the universe but also the neurons that make such understanding possible. With a focus on AI (XAI), participants will create algorithms that provide new insights on complex data by revealing how and why they make decisions. By studying the neurons that help us think and the AI that explains how it "thinks," we are not just pushing the boundaries of science—we are unraveling the very mechanisms that allow us to comprehend our place in the cosmos.
