The 4th International Workshop on Astronomy and Relativistic Astrophysics is scheduled to occur in the period from 4th to 8th of October, in a city near the Atlantic Ocean, called Maresias, located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP: New Phenomena and New States of Matter in the Universe is the motto of this event. Contributions in the realm of General Relativity, Gravitation, Cosmology, Heavy Ion Collisions and the Quark-Gluon Plasma, White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Pulsars, Black Holes, Gamma Ray Bursts, High-Energy Cosmic Rays, Gravitational Waves, Dark Matter and Dark Energy, Strange Matter and Strange Stars, Antimatter and Ion Research, Cosmic Matter in the Laboratory, and related topics are welcome.
OVERVIEW
The main purpose of the event is to offer new opportunities for personal and professional growth of our students. For this reason, we feel very important to keep the series of meetings that began in 2003 in which astrophysicists, astronomers and scientists working in nuclear, and high-energy particle physics, for the first time in this series, met with the intention of showing its latest results on a variety of topics involving new phenomena and new states of matter in the universe and therefore interact with their peers from around the world. IWARA previous meetings: in 2003, Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil, in 2005, Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and in 2007, João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil.
