In December, the Institute of Physics in Opava published the 10th edition of the Proceedings of RAGtime. The proceedings summarise the papers presented at the conferences held in Opava between 2021 and 2023.

The editors of the proceedings are scientists from the Institute of Physics in Opava and the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It contains contributions not only from the authors of these institutions, but also from researchers from Masaryk University and renowned foreign scientific institutions, including Poland, Germany, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, USA and Japan. The papers in the proceedings cover a wide range of topics, from relativistic physics and astrophysics to theoretical physics, black holes, neutron stars, compact objects, gravitational waves and alternative theories of gravity.

Doctoral and Master's students of the Institute of Physics also participated in the preparation of the proceedings, which supports the education of a new generation of scientists. Their work in the editorial process and conference organization not only contributes to the creation of the proceedings, but also provides an opportunity for practical experience and enriching interactions with renowned scientists from abroad.

The Proceedings have been indexed in the Scopus database for several years, which testifies to its international importance and professional prestige. The individual articles in this tenth edition of the proceedings provide extensive perspectives on current research in space physics. The authors have succeeded not only in presenting new findings and discoveries, but also in developing existing theoretical concepts.

The edition from December 2023 also includes supplementary material and discussions arising from presentations at RAGtime conferences. This makes the proceedings a comprehensive record not only of the papers themselves, but also of the interactions and exchanges of ideas between scholars working in these areas.

"The Proceedings of RAGtime 23-25 issue brings together the latest findings in relativistic physics and astrophysics. We are proud to offer a platform for sharing knowledge and moving science forward," said the editors of the proceedings.

The proceedings are available online and in hard copy on the proceedings website. Its publication is supported by grants from the European Union and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.
