A call for one 1-year research grant in Strong Gravity for M.Sc. holders enrolled in a doctoral programme at Aveiro University, within the research grant “Gravitational waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors", CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open from 20 March to 10 April 2023. See attached document for details (in Portuguese) or the Euraxess announcement (in English) here.
On March 1, Gr@v member Miguel Zilhão gave an invited seminar at the Albert Einstein Institute in Potsdam, at the Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity group. The seminar was entitled "The piercing of a boson star by a black hole", and focused on the dynamics of scalar fields and boson stars in the presence of black holes.
Celebrating the recent "UA Investigador" prize and the group's many (great) guests on Mar 7th 2023. Thank you to Prof. Carolina Benone (U. F. do Pará, Brazil) for the visit and welcome to Prof. Maurício Richartz (U. F. ABC, Brazil), who is joining us for a month. And we also got the short visit of Francisco Duque, from IST-Lisbon, who presented the group seminar on Mar 8th.
On March 1, Gr@v member Nuno M. Santos gave an invited seminar at the Central European Institute for Cosmology and Fundamental Physics (CEICO), in Prague. The seminar, entitled "Synchronized bosonic hair: equilibrium solutions", focused on the physics of black holes with synchronized hair.
The 2022 "Investigador UA" prize was awarded to Gr@v member C. Herdeiro. This award celebrates excellence in research within the U. Aveiro. The awarding cerimony (1/3/2023) can be seen here. The UA coverage can be read here and here.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
