Summary

The International Conference on Gravitation and Astrophysics(ICGA) is to serve the needs of research workers in gravitation and astrophysics in the Asia-Pacific region. This proceedings covers a wide and hot area of research, including cosmological model, gravitational lensing, precision measurement of G, CMB, Kerr space-time, gravitational wave, the LISA, LIGO, LCGT projects in Japan, black hole, dark matter, YangMills gravity, neutron star, type la supernovae, quasi-local energy, anti-de Sitter space-time.
