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.

Analogue gravity enables the study and recreation in the laboratory of phenomena connected with the propagation of quantum fields on curved spacetimes. This allows experimental access to the interplay between wave propagation, curved spacetimes and quantum physics—a combination which normally eludes detection in gravitational systems. Examples include Hawking radiation, rotational super-radiance off ergosurfaces of rotating black holes, and the spontaneous emission of entangled pairs of particles in a rapidly expanding universe. A new phase has recently started in the field: technological advances have rendered the experimental implementation of many old and new theoretical ideas in a growing variety of platforms, ranging from classical fluids to quantum fluids, nonlinear optical fibers, graphene, etc. These are exciting times in which progress is driven by experiments. This event has two goals: the training of the new generation of researchers and a discussion of the state of the art of different research programs and experimental platforms.

Charged leptons have been key to the current understanding of physics at the shortest length scales and are the focus of precise tests of the Standard Model. In the coming years several experiments with increased sensitivity in charged lepton physics are expected to deliver exciting results. This workshop will offer the possibility for theoretical and experimental physicists to discuss the status and prospects of this field of research.

The workshop has three main topics: tau lepton precision physics (weeks 1+2), charged lepton flavour violation (weeks 2+3) and muon precision physics (weeks 3+4).

Stars form from the collapse of dense clouds, and as the collapsing gas and dust is rotating, a disk forms around the star. Such disks are the birth places of planets and were referred to as ‘protoplanetary disks’. However, the properties of disks during the onset of planet formation have been, and remain, a matter of vigorous debate. We now know that disks have lifetimes of at most a few Myr rather than >10 Myr as previously believed and observed ring structures strongly hint at an early onset of planet formation while the disk is still embedded in its birth environment and fed by infall of gas and dust. Therefore, we are currently witnessing a paradigm shift where even young disks are no longer considered as ‘protoplanetary’, but ‘planet-forming’ instead. While there is agreement today that external effects play a major role in the planet formation process, relatively little work has been done so far in considering the protostellar environment.

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 four-week MIAPbP workshop will bring together observers and theorists to achieve a consolidated physical summary of the exciting new results from the first four years of JWST science operations. We will review the census of early star-forming galaxies, early BH demographics and growth mechanisms, the ionizing properties of early sources and their role in reionization, and the prospect of detecting pristine stellar populations. We will thus discuss future plans for JWST, guided by theoretical developments. What should JWST achieve during the next five years and what should our observing strategies be with complementary and future facilities like ALMA, SKA, and ELT?

The aim of the workshop is to discuss problems in fundamental physics. We plan to have a flexible program that includes pedagogical talks and discussion sessions. We may also have informal talks to encourage debate. We hope these will allow those present to learn new ideas and techniques that will help them in their work. It is likely that supersymmetric gauge theories, supergravity, superstrings and other topics such as branes and dualities will be discussed. However, the organisers are open to the presentation of new ideas which are not well known to the community at large.
