Cosmology is the study of the large scale structure of the Universe, as well as its dynamics. Our group has been involved in the study and development of cosmological models, in particular to explain the accelerated phases of the cosmological evolution, dubbed inflationary phases.
For our latest developments/activities in this area, please see the listing below.
On November 29, Gr@v member Nuno M. Santos gave an outreach seminar at Universidade Federal do Pará (Campus Salinópolis) on the peculiar nature of black holes and the observational evidence for their existence. He was hosted by Prof. Carolina Benone, a former Gr@v member and current collaborator.
The VIII Amazoniana Workshop on Gravity and Analogue models took place from 21-25 November 2022. The video recording of the courses and lectures will soon be put online.
The Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics 2022 (XIV SILAFAE) took place in Quito, Ecuador, from 14-18 November 2022. Gr@v member C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers.
A call for a 1 year (post-doctoral) researcher position in Strong Gravity. within the research grant “Gravitational Waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors", CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open. The call closes on December 2nd 2022. See attached documents for details or the Euraxess announcement here.
The first BSM2 meeting, organized by our group, took place at Aveiro University during the week 10 to 14 of October. It was in intense week with a handful of rich discussions in hot HEP topics, a number of software tutorials and, above all, new BrainStormed ideas for future scientific projects. Recordings of all presentations and subsequent discussions can be revisited here.
