IJMPD published in August 2020 a special issue devoted to the Fifth Amazonian Symposium on Physics, with a collection of selected papers. Our group co-organized the event and co-edited this issue, both led by Prof. L. Crispino, from UFPa, Brazil.
A call for a research grant in the fields of strong gravity/particle physics, for a M.Sc. holder, is open until October 13th 2020. See the call in the attached file or in the eracareers portal.
A call for applications for two post-doctoral positions under the research grant PTDC/FIS-OUT/28407/2017 (PI C. Herdeiro) are open until September 30th. See the Eracareers call here and also attached (in Portuguese).
A small Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning will take place at the University of Aveiro (Mathematics Department) from Sep. 21-25, 2020. More info here.
CIDMA has an open call for two junior researchers for the period 2020-2023. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics or related areas (the scientific areas of Gr@v are elegible). The application period closes on Aug 5 2020.
The paper "EHT Constraint on the Ultralight Scalar Hair of the M87 Supermassive Black Hole" by P. Cunha, C. Herdeiro and E. Radu, was selected as one of the 2019 Editor's Choice of the journal Universe.
The U. Aveiro Research Summit took place on 24-26 June 2020. Our group contribute with four student pitches (by A. Pombo, J. Delgado, L. Ventura and J. Oliveira). This year's edition of the Reseach@UA magazine included one Gr@v article as a 2019 reseach highlight and two Gr@v papers in the top 10 cited papers (2014-2019).
The propagation of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is often described within the geometrical optics approximation, which predicts that wave rays follow null geodesics. However, this model is valid only in the limit of infinitely high frequencies.
