A call for a 7-month research grant in Strong Gravity for M.Sc. holders, within the research grant Gravitational waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors, CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open from December 7th to 21st, 2023. See attached document for details or the Euraxess announcement here.
Proca stars, first discovered in this paper, are a vector cousin of the well known model of scalar boson stars - see these papers for reviews [1], [2] and comparisons between the two models [3], [4].
The Iranian Conference on High Energy Physics took place from 20-22 November 2023 (online). C. Herdeiro was one of the Plenary Speakers. See the programme here.
During the week of 13-17 November 2023 we had the pleasure to host Rodrigo Vicente from IFAE, U. Barcelona and Roman Pasechnik from the U. Lund to tell us about their latest research. Of course, discussions are better over a nice lunch!
C. Herdeiro visited the St. Kliment Ohridski U. Sofia (Bulgaria) delivering a talk on Boson stars and Black holes with synchronised hair, invited by Prof. Stoytcho Yazadjiev (both in the photo).
