Strong Gravity News & Events

The field of gravitational wave astronomy is allowing us to study the nature of compact objects in binary systems through their gravitational wave emission. Namely, the tidal deformability of such objects, encoded in their Tidal Love Numbers (TLNs)  gives us a window into their composition and the physics behind them.

The annual meeting of the Maths Department Ph.D. students will take place on 27 Oct 2023. Marco Brito and Etevaldo Costa, both enrolled in the MAP-Fis Ph.D. programme will represent our group.
