N. Santos and C. Herdeiro are visiting UNAM, Cuernavaca Campus, during February 2020, within the RISE FunFiCO Marie Curie grant led by Aveiro University. They are being hosted by Juan Carlos Degollado.
Nico Sanchis-Gual and Rodrigo Vicente, both based at IST-Lisbon, visited this week. Rodrigo delivered a seminar on "Moving black holes: Energy extraction, absorption cross section, and the ring of fire".

Group members Sonia Anton and Carlos Herdeiro, as well as Tiago Campante from IA and U. Porto, participated in the outreach activity "Café de Ciência", at Fábrica, Centro de Ciência Viva de Aveiro, as part of the conference cycle "À descoberta do Universo" promoted by Tiago Campante.
Jose Blázquez-Salcedo is visiting the group within a (one month) short term scientific mission of the COST action GWverse. He presented a seminar on "Quasi-normal modes of neutron stars in R^2 gravity".
This is the fourth of a mini-course (four lectures) on black hole thermodynamics. The lectures will be on January 16, 24, 31 and February 6.
In this talk I will firstly give a brief introduction on what bosonic stars are and why should we be interested in studying them. Then, I will present a study of the non-linear dynamics of both boson(scalar) and Proca(vector) stars, through numerical relativity techniques. I will depict three different physical scenarios.
