The IX Amazonian Workshop on Gravity an Analogue Models took place in Belém, Brazil, from 17-21 June 2024. A co-organization of our group within the NewFunFiCO network it featured seminars and lecture courses from several Gr@v group members.
GW170817 and GRB 170817A provided direct evidence that binary neutron star (NSNS) mergers can produce short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). However, questions remain about the nature of the central engine.
Galaxy clusters are excellent natural laboratories to study the nature of gravity and test possible alternatives to the Concordance Model, at the edge between cosmology and astrophysics.
P. Cunha and C. Herdeiro were invited speakers at the online workshop on numerical and analytical relativity (NAR-2024), organized by the Department of Applied Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA) during 20 - 22 March 2024. The video recorded lectures can be seen here.
C. Herdeiro was one of the plenary invited speakers of the International Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology (ICGC 24) and the International Conference on Relativistic Astrophysics and Cosmology (ICRAC 24) that took place in Lahore, Pakistan on 29-31 Jan and 1-2 Feb 2024. Wonderful hospitality and great interactions. Science brings people together.
