"Ever since 1911, the Solvay Conferences have shaped modern physics. The format is
quite different from other conferences as the emphasis is placed on discussion. The
26th edition held in October 2014 in Brussels and chaired by Roger Blandford continued
this tradition and addressed some of the most pressing open questions in the fields
of astrophysics and cosmology, gathering many of the leading figures working on a
wide variety of profound problems. The proceedings contain the "rapporteur talks"
giving a broad overview with unique insights by distinguished renowned scientists.
These lectures cover the five sessions: "Neutron Stars", "Black Holes", "Cosmic Dawn",
"Dark Matter" and "Cosmic Microwave Background". In the Solvay tradition, the proceedings
also include the prepared comments to the rapporteur talks. The discussions among
the participants -- expert, yet lively and sometimes contentious -- have been edited
to retain to retain their flavor and are reproduced in full. The reader is taken on
a breathtaking ride through 42 years of extraordinary discovery since astrophysics
was last on the Solvay program and 57 years since cosmology was last discussed"
