Relativistic Astrophysics and Cosmology explores the theoretical frameworks, computational simulations, and experimental investigations of the universe's most extreme phenomena, from the Big Bang to dense celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes. Our research examines fundamental physics in cosmic contexts, covering areas such as intense gravitational fields, the formation of cosmic structures and matter, relativistic plasma dynamics, high-energy laboratory physics, and the search for dark matter.
