DESCRIPTION:A conference in celebration of Brandon Carter's 80th birthday\
 n\nBrandon Carter is one of the leading figures in general relativity and 
 more specifically in black hole physics. He performed major advances in es
 tablishing the famous 'no hair' theorem and the laws of black hole thermod
 ynamics. Various physical concepts are named after him\, among which the C
 arter constant\, the Carter tetrad\, the Carter time machine and the Carte
 r-Penrose diagrams. Brandon Carter has also developed the theory of superf
 luidity in relativity\, as well as the geometry of cosmic strings and more
  generally of membranes in spacetime. He is also known in the field of epi
 stemology for having formulated the weak anthropic principle\, and in the 
 context of the superstring "landscape" for having formulated the strong an
 thropic principle.\n\n \n\nThe conference will focus on the theory of bla
 ck holes\, topological defects in cosmology\, the physics of neutron star 
 interiors and the anthropic principle. The aim is to present the latest de
 velopments in the above-mentioned areas and to discuss the prospects for f
 uture research.\n\nThe conference is organized by Éric Gourgoulhon (LUTH\
 , Observatoire de Paris) and Patrick Peter (IAP\, Paris) and will take pla
 ce\n\n\n	at Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP) on 4 and 6 July 2022\n
 	at Observatoire de Paris (Meudon campus) on 5 July 2022 (a bus will be or
 ganized to bring the participants from IAP to Meudon in the morning and ba
 ck to IAP in the evening)\n\n\nInvited speakers:\n\n\n	\n	Nils Andersson (
