Zusammenfassung: This workshop will bring together both theorists and experimentalists with a wide range of expertise to discuss the current status of research on properties of neutrinos, their effects on cosmological and astrophysical processes, and the interplay between theory and ongoing and future experiments.

Zusammenfassung: This year's annual Midwest Relativity Meeting (MWRM18) will be hosted by the Center for Astrophysics, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, and the Department of Physics at the University of Notre Dame.

The format of the meeting will be as in past Midwest Relativity Meetings. Talks will consist of short contributed papers in an informal atmosphere. Each participant may present a talk of ~15 minutes depending upon the total number of talks. Undergraduates, graduate students and post-docs are especially encouraged to make presentations.

Zusammenfassung: Brookhaven Forum 2008 (BF2008) will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton NY, USA, November 6-8, 2008. The theme of BF2008 is "Terra Incognita: from LHC to Cosmology." As 2008 witnesses the dawn of the LHC era, the emphasis of this year's agenda will be LHC physics. However, part of the BF2008 program will be devoted to related cosmological and astrophysical questions, both in theory and experiment.

Zusammenfassung: The conference will reflect the approach to research described in the 2004 report of the National Research Council (NRC), Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos (available online).

Zusammenfassung: The main goals are to assess our current knowledge of solar activity to prepare for observations of the new major activity expected from the beginning of Carrington Cycle 24, and to encourage effective observations of this activity.

Zusammenfassung: This year's topics include the sun, solar system, extra solar planets, substellar companions; stellar Evolution, stellar Populations; stellar atmospheres, Winds; circumstellar disks, and binary stellar systems, x-ray binaries.

Zusammenfassung: The conference, to be held at the Aspen Center for Physics, will focus on the latest developments in experimental and theoretical efforts to understand the nature of Dark Energy and Dark Matter and the crucial issue of how current and upcoming precision experiments will directly and indirectly measure their properties.

Key aspects of the meeting will be discussions on synergies between direct and indirect, and terrestrial and astrophysical dark matter detection, and how complementary observational approaches could distinguish between dark energy theories, for example those with gravity and particle based origins.

The aim of this conference is to bring together theorists and experimentalists, from astrophysics and particle physics, to discuss new approaches to understanding the origins of the dark sector - exposing experimentalists to the latest theoretical ideas, and giving theorists a perspective on what is experimentally achievable.

Zusammenfassung: Goal of this meeting is to bring together observers and theoreticians working in magnetar astrophysics in a conference that will focus on breakthrough research linking astronomy, particle and condensed matter physics.

Zusammenfassung: The symposium will bring together experts in relativistic celestial mechanics, relativity tests, astrometry, geodesy, and like fields.

Zusammenfassung: The annual DDA meeting brings together top researchers in astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, and astrodynamics for in-depth and stimulating discussions and talks on all aspects in the space sciences.
