Prof. Humberto Campins came to the University of Aveiro to talk about asteroids at the outreach centre "Fábrica Centro de Ciência Viva". Gr@v member M. ZIlhão was one of the hosts, opening the session.

Gr@v member C. Herdeiro presented an invited colloquium at the Physics Department of the U. Illinois, at Urbana-Champaign, home of several Nobel laureates in Physics such as Anthony J. Legget (laureate in 2003) and John Bardeen (laureate in 1956 and 1972).

Gr@v member Ivo Sengo was one of the participants in the 4th Physics Conference of Portuguese-Speaking Countries – 4CFPLP, that took place in Cape Verde, from 12-16 September 2022. Ivo delivered a contributed talk on "Black hole shadows".

Our collaborator Kunihito Uzawa from Japan together with Zakaria Belkhadria, a Ph.D. student from U. Cagliari, Italy, are our guests this week. Zakaria is visiting us within a short term scientific mission of the COST action CA18108.

In this seminar I will introduce a rigorous and general framework to study systematically self-gravitating elastic materials within general relativity. The formulation that will be presented in this seminar is particularly suitable to investigate the existence and viability, including radial stability, of spherically symmetric elastic stars.

In this talk, we consider a scenario in which an extended reheating scenario can be described analogously to the so-called scalar field dark matter model.

The 3rd Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning will take place on 23 Sep 2022 at the University of Minho, after the first and second workshops of this series in Aveiro and Valencia, repectively.

Gr@v member C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers of "Física 2022" the 23rd national conference of the Portuguese Physics Society, delivering the talk "Buracos Negros: de uma equação ao Nobel" (photo courtesy of A. Folhas).

A group of Gr@v members, including J. Delgado, A. Pombo, J. Novo, N. Santos and I. Sengo, represented the group at the 2022 Spanish-Portuguese relativity meeting, in Salamanca, delivering talks on their latest work. Former member J. Oliveira, also joined them for the group photo!

The XV Black Holes Workshop will take place at ISCTE, University Institute of Lisbon, on 19-20 December 2022. Registration opens on September 19th.
