The NewFunFiCO mid term meeting took place online on March 20 bringing together many consortium members, to share their experiences with the REA.
Black holes are the most massive objects in the Universe and provide an ideal testing ground for gravity in the strong field regime.
One of the most efficient energy sources in the universe is the matter accretion onto compact objects, such as black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). Since magnetic fields are ubiquitous everywhere, the accretion flow is expected to be magnetized in nature, where the large-scale magnetic fields inside the disks are commonly rooted either from the companion star or the interstellar medium.
A meeting of the NewFunFiCO network will take place in Valencia, from 20-22 May 2025. More information can be found here.
In the last week of January 2025 we received the visits of Profs. Luis Carlos Crispino and Kunihito Uzawa. Great to have you here!
