Summary

The Conference brings together experts from varied fields to discuss the most important forefront topics of modern astrophysics and cosmology today. This includes, on the other hand, the most challenging problem of cosmology, such as dark matter and dark energy, cosmic microwave background etc. and on the other hand, the physics of compact objects such as accretion processes around stellar and super-massive black holes, jets and outflows, binary pulsars, magnetohydrodynamics of and around compact objects. Another important topic discussed here is the physics of relativistic stellar cluster. Finally, the book focuses on the physics of the nearest star, namely, the Sun and what can be learned from the Solar astronomy.
