Gr@v is a team of researchers, based at the Mathematics and Physics Department of Aveiro University, Portugal, working on strong gravity and high energy physics. The group was established in 2010. In January 2015 Gr@v integrated the FCT funded CIDMA research unit (UIDB/04106/2020 and UIDP/04106/2020), as the Gravitational Geometry and Dynamics research group. The group scientific coordinator is C. Herdeiro.
The recent Gr@v work on the fate of the Light Ring instability (arXiv:2207.13713) will appear in the prestigious Physical Review Letters.
Jose Blázquez-Salcedo (Complutense, Madrid), Romain Gervalle (Tours), Fech Scen Khoo (Oldenburg) and Tigran Tchrakian (DIAS, Dublin) visited us in the week of Dec. 5 2022, and lectured in the 1 day Strong Gravity Workshop our group organized.
On November 29, Gr@v member Nuno M. Santos gave an outreach seminar at Universidade Federal do Pará (Campus Salinópolis) on the peculiar nature of black holes and the observational evidence for their existence. He was hosted by Prof. Carolina Benone, a former Gr@v member and current collaborator.
Our group is organizing a 1-day strong gravity mini-workshop on Dec 5th 2022.
This will be a face to face event only. All interested are welcome to attend.
Venue:
Mathematics Department, Aveiro University
Morning - Room Sousa Pinto
Afternoon - Room 11.2.21
Schedule:
The VIII Amazoniana Workshop on Gravity and Analogue models took place from 21-25 November 2022. The video recording of the courses and lectures will soon be put online.
The Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics 2022 (XIV SILAFAE) took place in Quito, Ecuador, from 14-18 November 2022. Gr@v member C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers.
A call for a 1 year (post-doctoral) researcher position in Strong Gravity. within the research grant “Gravitational Waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors", CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open. The call closes on December 2nd 2022. See attached documents for details or the Euraxess announcement here.
The recorded lecture by C. Herdeiro, one of the invited speakers at the at the VII Scalar Field Dark Matter Workshop can be seen here.
Part of our group got together on Oct 28 2022 to cellebrate Eugen Radu's faculty position at U. Aveiro and to bid (temporarily) farewell to António Morais' who will embark on a half a year visit to CERN. Great food at "Mestre do Leme" in Aveiro.
The 4th session of the Gr@v group seminars is now on YouTube in our dedicated channel https://youtu.be/tgMKGakx6yM. Subscribe and share!
