Cosmology News & Events

The Beyond the Standard Model BrainStorming Meeting, BSM², will take place at Aveiro University, hosted by the gr@v group, from 10-14 October 2022.

Our collaborator Kunihito Uzawa from Japan together with Zakaria Belkhadria, a Ph.D. student from U. Cagliari, Italy, are our guests this week. Zakaria is visiting us within a short term scientific mission of the COST action CA18108.

The 3rd Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning will take place on 23 Sep 2022 at the University of Minho, after the first and second workshops of this series in Aveiro and Valencia, repectively.

Our group collaborated with the Escola de Verão de Astronomia, of Instituto Superior Técnico, targeting high school students, with a lecture by C. Herdeiro on Cosmology (9 Set 2022).

Gr@v member C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers of "Física 2022" the 23rd national conference of the Portuguese Physics Society, delivering the talk "Buracos Negros: de uma equação ao Nobel" (photo courtesy of A. Folhas).

Gr@v members A. Morais, J. Pino and V. Vatellis represented the group at the Workshop on Multi-Higgs models, in Lisbon, delivering talks about their work. Long term collaborator R. Pasechnik, from Lund University, also joins for the picture.

The XV Black Holes Workshop will take place at ISCTE, University Institute of Lisbon, on 19-20 December 2022. Registration opens on September 19th.

A new staff exchange network - NewFunFiCO - was chosen for funding within the Horizon-MSCA-2021-SE-01 call. The network has nodes at Aveiro University (Portugal, coordinator), University of Valencia (Spain), Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitaet Frankfurt Am Main (Germany), Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico), Universidade Federal do Pará (Brazil) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong (China). The network will start on January 1st 2023 and have a lifetime of 4 years.

Our group is co-organizing the VIII Amazonian Workshop on Gravity and Analogue Models, to be held in Belém, Brazil, from 21-25 November 2022. This meeting is also promoted by the FunFiCO network, for which U. Federal do Pará, in Belém, is one of the nodes, coordinated by Prof. Luis Carlos Crispino.

The detection of gravitational waves has been one of the most exciting scientific developments of the XXIst century. These detections are theory-driven, they rely on the existence of waveform libraries, which have been constructed for binary black holes and neutron stars. Gr@v members have collaborated on the construction of the first waveform catalogue for exotic compact objects, an effort led by former Gr@v member Nicolas Sanchis Gual (now at the U. Valencia).
