Our group has received 1.6 million CPU-hours at the Navigator Cluster in Coimbra through the FCT call for Advanced Computing Projects. This project is led by Miguel Zilhão and is titled "Dynamics of bosonic stars" (ref. 2022.15804.CPCA.A2).
I will present recent analytical results on the evolution of the trapping horizon of a spherically symmetric black hole, as due to the

American Physical Society invited the authors of the paper "Exotic Compact Objects and the fate of the light ring instability" to participate in the APS Journal Club (JC), dedicated to selected papers published in Physical Review Letters. It was the first time this JC was dedicated to a gravity paper. The video recording of the session will be found in the JC webpage.
The discussion will focus on the following papers:
"Nonlinear effects in black hole ringdown", by Mark Ho-Yeuk Cheung, et al [arXiv:2208.07374 ];
Our group organized the "State of the art techniques in Strong Gravity" Meeting, in São Pedro do Sul 26-28 April 2023 as a retreat type meeting to exchange ideas. The inspiring discussions will certainly foster new research!
Gr@v Ph.D. student E. Costa presented a seminar on the "Proca-Higgs model" in the Mini-Workshop "New Horizons for Horizonless Physics" at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence, Italy.
C. Herdeiro presented an invited colloquium at the U. Tubingen. Thank you to D. Doneva and the whole group for the warm and scientifically stimulating hospitality!
On April 12th, Gr@v member Pedro Cunha gave an invited seminar to the Physics Department of the University of Coimbra, within the ongoing series "coffee with physics". The seminar, entitled "The fate of the light-ring instability", focused on a recent publication.
