15 years after the first edition of the Black Holes Workshop that took place at the Faculty of Sciences of Porto University, the XVI Black Holes Workshop returned to Porto, this time in the Faculty of Engineering. The next edition will take place at the University of Aveiro on 19-20 December 2024.
An article on the parameter inference from gravitational wave signals using a novel methodology based on the Newman-Penrose scalar was published this month (December 2023) in Physical Review X. The article is co-authored by Gr@v members C. Herdeiro and E. Radu. PRX has similar quality standards as Physical Review Letters but for longer papers. It has an impact factor of 12.5 (2022).

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.
