A computing proposal prepared by S. Gimeno-Soler, P. Cunha, I. Sengo and C. Herdeiro, and led by H. Olivares was awarded with 12 million CPU-hours at the supercomputer Mare Nostrum 5.
The project, titled "Exploring accretion and spacetime models for event-horizon-scale observations of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei", will explore new models of accretion flows and spacetime geometries for the targets of the Event Horizon Telescope using simulations as the one shown in the picture (Image credit: H. Olivares and P. Cunha).
This week Gr@v hosted A. Bernal and J. Barranco from Guanajuato (Mexico) and E. Gasperín from IST-Lisbon. Great seminars and discussions. Thank you for your visits!
C. Herdeiro visited the ICTP-Asia Pacific and the University of the Chinese Academy of sciences, in Beijing, presenting an invited seminar hosted by Prof. Yu Tian.
The "New horizons for Psi school and workshop" took place at IST Lisbon, from 1-5 July 2024. Gr@v members E. Radu and P. Cunha, as well as former member and external collaborator N. Sanchis-Gual, were invited speakers at the meeting.
C. Herdeiro was one of the invited lecturers of the school in Physics organized by Prof. Hongbao Zhang and the Beijing Normal University, in the Zhuhai campus, southern China.
C. Herdeiro was one of the presenters in the ECIU Collaborative project event, on May 22nd 2024, sharing the project NewFunFiCO coordinated by Aveiro U. with the consortium.
Gr@v members A. Morais, M. Finetti, J. Gonçalves and V. Oliveira visited CERN between the 13th and 16th May to participate in the 4th anual EuCAPT symposium, with the presentation of three posters and a lightning talk by M. Finetti.
GW170817 and GRB 170817A provided direct evidence that binary neutron star (NSNS) mergers can produce short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). However, questions remain about the nature of the central engine.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
