This talk presents two distinct problems in gravitational physics that are connected through the use of solution-generating techniques within Einstein–Maxwell–scalar theory. First, we construct new vacuum solutions of Einstein’s equations starting from electrovacuum configurations embedded in external electromagnetic backgrounds.
Oleg Tsupko, an expert in several strong gravity topics including lensing and black hole shadows, joins Gr@v as a CEEC researcher from April 2026. Welcome Oleg!
The Gr@v coordinator, C. Herdeiro, visited Prague to deliver two seminars, at CEICO and Charles University. The visit provided a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues in a city rich in scientific and cultural heritage - home to figures such as Kepler, Tycho Brahe, Einstein, Doppler, Mach, Bolzano, and Kafka. Many thanks to both groups for their kind hospitality and for making this visit possible.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
