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.
