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.
ENAA 2020, the 30th National Meeting on Astronomy and Astrophysics took place, online, from 9-11 September. S. Anton was a member of the organizing committee and C. Herdeiro one of the invited speakers. More info here.
A call for applications for two post-doctoral positions under the research grant PTDC/FIS-OUT/28407/2017 (PI C. Herdeiro) are open until September 30th. See the Eracareers call here and also attached (in Portuguese).
A small Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning will take place at the University of Aveiro (Mathematics Department) from Sep. 21-25, 2020. More info here.
To close the unusual academic year 2019/20 some Gr@v members got together, celebrating science and the summer with a great lunch and view!
CIDMA has an open call for two junior researchers for the period 2020-2023. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics or related areas (the scientific areas of Gr@v are elegible). The application period closes on Aug 5 2020.
The paper "EHT Constraint on the Ultralight Scalar Hair of the M87 Supermassive Black Hole" by P. Cunha, C. Herdeiro and E. Radu, was selected as one of the 2019 Editor's Choice of the journal Universe.
The U. Aveiro Research Summit took place on 24-26 June 2020. Our group contribute with four student pitches (by A. Pombo, J. Delgado, L. Ventura and J. Oliveira). This year's edition of the Reseach@UA magazine included one Gr@v article as a 2019 reseach highlight and two Gr@v papers in the top 10 cited papers (2014-2019).
Pandemia doesn't stop us! Gr@v webinars are the group's virtual meeting place, taking place every week. Interested collegues that wish to join may do so by contacting the group's scientific coordinator.
The paper "Stationary black holes and light rings" recently published in PRL as editor's suggestion was covered by Phys.Org. Read here the story.
