UNDER CONSTRUCTION! NOTE THAT THE DATES WILL BE CHANGED! BELOW ARE THE CONTENTS FROM IK18. IT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED.
(COPIED FROM THE PREVIOUS WEBSITE. NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED.) The Italian-Korean Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics is a series of biannual meetings, alternatively organized in Italy and in Korea since 1987. The symposium discussions cover topics in astrophysics and cosmology, such as gamma-ray bursts and compact stars, high energy cosmic rays, dark energy and dark matter, general relativity, black holes, and new physics related to cosmology. TO ADD LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS? THE DATES SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
This symposium started in 1987, then continued for every two years alternatively in Korea and Italy with the support from Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF), Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics Network (ICRANet) and hosting institutes. Main purpose of this symposium is to accelerate the exchange between scientists of Italy and Korea, especially young researchers.
Traditionally, the subjects of this series of symposium have been mainly theoretical astrophysics, especially in the fields of relativistic astrophysics. In this meeting the focus will be on irriducible mass, gravitational wave emission from GRBs, ellipsoidal configurations of equilibrium in General Relativity.
