FIRST CIRCULAR International Conference "Cosmology and Relativistic Astrophysics (Zeldovich - 100)" Moscow, 16-20 June, 2014 WWW: http://hea.iki.rssi.ru/zeldovich-100/ E-MAIL: zeldovich100 at cosmos.ru Organizer: Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI) RATIONALE The 2014 year marks the 100th anniversary of Yakov Zeldovich, one of great physicists of the 20th century. The conference will commemorate his contribution to astronomy by concentrating on recent progress in cosmology and high energy astrophysics, the areas where his ideas laid the basis for revolutionary advances. The scientific topics will include the theory of large scale structure formation, observations of baryonic acoustic oscillations, spectral distortions, angular fluctuations and polarization of the cosmic microwave background, reionization and sources of CMB foregrounds, theory of disk accretion onto black holes and neutron stars, physics and observations of clusters of galaxies -- topics which were among the main interests of Yakov Zeldovich during the last 25 years of his life. There will be a broad discussion of plans for the Spectrum-RG X-ray sky survey and its synergy with cluster and AGN surveys in microwave (SPT, ACT, CARMA etc) and other wavelength bands. VENUE AND DATES The conference will take place at the Space Research Institute (IKI) in Moscow, Russia, on June 1620, 2014. Moscow is the city where Yakov Zeldovich spent more than a half of his life in science, of which more than 12 years working at IKI. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS Given the capacity of the conference hall at IKI, participation will be limited to 250 people. Since more than 250 people have already pre-registered for the conference and registration is going on, all submitted presentations will have to go through a strict selection process, based on the relevance to the scientific program. We expect participants of the conference to be professionals in astrophysics and cosmology. Graduate students who are willing to participate but have not yet a proven record of scientific activity in these fields should arrange for a short recommendation from their supervisor to the SOC (zeldovich100 at cosmos.ru). SCHEDULE The scientific sessions will begin on the morning of Monday, June 16th, and will last until the evening of Friday, June 20th. There will be an opening ceremony/welcome cocktail on Monday, June 16th and a conference dinner on Wednesday, June 18th. There will be plenary sessions held in the main conference hall and a number of parallel sessions held in different halls at IKI. There will also be poster sessions.

TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION Moscow is well connected with major cities across the world via its three airports: Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo. All three airports are located outside of Moscow and connected with the city center via express trains. IKI is located several underground (Metro) stations from downtown. Further information on travel and accommodation possibilities will be posted at the conference site.
