The Third Zeldovich meeting

An international conference in honor of Ya. B. Zeldovich in Minsk.

First announcement

International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics Network (ICRANet) together with the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus organize an international conference to be held in Minsk, Belarus in April 23-27, 2018. Participation from neighboring countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine as well as from Balkan countries, Eastern and Western Europe and the Americas is expected. Exceptionally wide research interests of Ya. B. Zeldovich ranging from chemical physics, elementary particle and nuclear physics to astrophysics and cosmology provide the topics to be covered at the conference:
Early cosmology, large scale structure, cosmic microwave background; Neutron stars, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, hypernovae; Ultra high energy particles; Gravitational waves.

Many lectors at the conference will be the members of the world-famous scientific school in astrophysics and cosmology, founded by Ya. B. Zeldovich, who now became leading scientists in these fields in many countries worldwide including Germany, Italy, USA and Russia.

This conference will follow a very successful international conferences in honor of Ya. B. Zeldovich, held in Minsk in 2009 and in 2014.
