Carlo Luciano Bianco, Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", Dipartimento di Fisica, Roma, Italy ; She-Sheng Xue, ICRANet, Pescara, Italy

Conference Location and Date: Pescara, Italy, 20-28 July 2007

Subseries: Astronomy and Astrophysics

Published February 2008; ISBN 978-7354-0483-0, One Volume, Print; 368 pages; 8.5 X 11 inches, double column; Hardcover; $135.00

Readership: Professors, researchers and graduate students of institutions and departments of physics and astrophysics worldwide.

All papers have been peer-reviewed. This is a conference for physicists, in particular from China and Italy, to present their most recent research works on both theoretical and observational aspects of Relativistic Astrophysics. The conference topics cover the following research fields: gamma ray bursts; galactic dynamic and survey; dark matter, dark energy and high-redshift universe; black holes, neutron stars and supernovae; general relativity, classical and quantum gravity, and field theory. Some exciting breakthrough discoveries annouced at the conference were: The new classification of "fake short" GRBs; new results on neutron stars electrodynamics; the process of thermalization of an electron-positron plasma; and the pair-production rate in non-uniform electric fields.
