Preface
Theyear2005featuredthe100thanniversaryofthe‘annusmirabilis’,theyearinwhich
Albert Einstein published three of his outstanding scientific papers. The Max-Planck
SocietywiththeirinstitutesforextraterrestrischePhysik(MPE)andAstrophysik(MPA)
together with the Technische Universita¨t Mu¨nchen (TUM), the Ludwig-Maximilians-
Universita¨tMu¨nchen(LMU)andtheEuropeanSouthernObservatory(ESO)aswellas
the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, the Bayerische Akademie der
Wissenschaften and the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften con-
sideredthisanexcellentopportunityforcelebratingEinsteinandhisworkbyanInterna-
tionalConferenceonRelativisticAstrophysicsandCosmology–Einstein’sLegacy.The
conferencetookplace,onthepremisesoftheTUMdowntownMunichfromNovember
7to11,2005withabout200participantsfrom30countriesfromallovertheworld.The
scientific sessions were organised in 10 invited talks, 48 contributed talks and almost
90postersondisplayintheAudimaxoftheTUM.Thetopicspresentedanddiscussed
werefocusingoncosmology,activegalacticnuclei,clustersofgalaxies,X-raybinaries
andjets,gamma-rayburstsandgravity.
A scientific highlight was the well-attended public evening lecture on ‘Der rela-
tivistischeKosmos–undwasAstrophysikerausEinsteinsIdeengemachthaben’held
byJu¨rgenEhlersinthePlenarsaaloftheBayerischeAkademiederWissenschaftenon

From all of what has been brought to my attention I may conclude that the con-

and the weather was fine as well with lots of sunshine for the entire week. The con-

Committee.Iwouldliketoexpressmysincerethankstoallwhomadethisconference
