NewFunFiCO workshop
Within the NewFunFiCO network, coordinated by our group, we are co-organizing a workshop on fundamental fields and compact objects: new opportunities, at ICF - UNAM - Campus de Morelos, Mexico, from October 4-6 2023.
Astrophysics News & Events
Journées Relativistes de Tours
The Journées Relativistes de Tours, France, took place from 31 May - 2 June 2023 discussing the latest developments in the field. C. Herdeiro and E. Radu were two of the invited speakers.
Black-hole evolution in the presence of scalar fields
Speaker
Marco de Cesare (University of Naples and INFN)
Event date
Venue
Hybrid Sala Sousa Pinto (Math dpt) and Zoom
Event type
I will present recent analytical results on the evolution of the trapping horizon of a spherically symmetric black hole, as due to the
Research grant in Strong Gravity for M.Sc. holders
A call for a 5-months research grant in Strong Gravity for M.Sc.
Cosmology from galaxy phase-space information and a bit of halo-galaxy connection
Speaker
Natali de Santi (Flatiron Institute and University of Sao Paulo)
Event date
Venue
Online (only)
Event type
In this talk, I will give an overview of how to do field-level likelihood-free inference with galaxy catalogs.
More specifically, only using phase-space information, I will show how to convert galaxy catalogs into graphs.
I will explain how to use graph neural networks, associated with moment neural networks, to constrain Omega matter.
APS Journal Club
American Physical Society invited the authors of the paper "Exotic Compact Objects and the fate of the light ring instability" to participate in the APS Journal Club (JC), dedicated to selected papers published in Physical Review Letters. It was the first time this JC was dedicated to a gravity paper. The video recording of the session will be found in the JC webpage.
Group meeting in São Pedro do Sul
Our group organized the "State of the art techniques in Strong Gravity" Meeting, in São Pedro do Sul 26-28 April 2023 as a retreat type meeting to exchange ideas. The inspiring discussions will certainly foster new research!
Seminar at the Galileo Galilei Institute
Gr@v Ph.D. student E. Costa presented a seminar on the "Proca-Higgs model" in the Mini-Workshop "New Horizons for Horizonless Physics" at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence, Italy.
Colloquium at Tubingen
C. Herdeiro presented an invited colloquium at the U. Tubingen. Thank you to D. Doneva and the whole group for the warm and scientifically stimulating hospitality!
Maurício Richartz visit
Prof. Maurício Richartz, from ABC Federal University, State of São Paulo, Brazil, visited Gr@v in March-April 2023, to discuss analogue models of gravity and other topics. Thank you for your visit Maurício and see you soon!
