The 32nd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will take place in Shanghai, China, from December 11 to 15, 2023. It will be hosted by Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.The symposium will cover all major topics on high-energy and particle astrophysics, cosmology and relativity. It will include morning plenary sessions and afternoon parallel sessions which will function as mini-symposia in each sub-field. The plenary sessions will consist of ~45 min review talks. The afternoon sessions will feature oral talks (about 15-30 min) and poster contributions.The science program will consist of invited plenary talks and a number of parallel mini-symposia, each will have its own invited/solicited talks and contributed talks, as well as poster presentations throughout the meeting.On Monday through Thursday, there will be plenary talks in the morning, and one or two sessions of parallel mini-symposia in the afternoon (see below). The Wednesday afternoon parallel sessions will be truncated, to allow for a visit/reception at TDLI and conference dinner.The duration of a mini-symposia will range from two to five 100 mins sessions, depending on the number of participants and submitted abstracts. At a given time, there are at most 4 parallel mini-symposia ongoing.The organized mini-symposia include:#1. Gravitational wave astrophysics: from LIGO to PTA (GW)#2. Astroparticle physics: high-energy cosmic rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos (PART)#3. Accretion processes around compact objects: from stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars to supermassive black holes (ACC)#4. Cosmic explosions and EM transients: SNe, GRBs, FBOTs, TDEs, etc. (EXP)#5. Neutron Stars: from theory to observations, from pulsars to FRBs (NS)#6. Dark Matter: from WIMP to axions/ALP, from laboratory search to astrophysical constraints (DM)#7. Cosmology with Large-scale structure (LSS)#8. Gravitational Lensing (LENS)#9. Plasma Astrophysics: From Laboratory to the Cosmos (PLAS)#10. Near-Term High-Energy Astrophysics Missions in China and Beyond (MIS)Partial List of Speakers：
