Taishi Ikeda, a post-doctoral researcher at IST-Lisbon, visited Gr@v from 6-11 January 2020 and gave a seminar on "Tidal effect on scalar cloud".
The XII Black Holes workshop took place on 19-20 December 2020, at the University of Minho, in the Azurém Campus, Guimarães. As always, a fast paced, intense and stimulating meeting!
Alexandre Correia, Professor at Coimbra University, ended his term as scientific coordinator of the Gravitational Geometry and Dynamics Group (informally dubbed Gr@v) of CIDMA on 16 December 2019. Prof. Correia will cease to be a full member of CIDMA at the end of 2019 by virtue of his move to Coimbra University. The group is very grateful for his leadership. The new elected scientific coordinator is Carlos Herdeiro.
Alexandre Correia, Gr@v member and Professor at Coimbra University, gave an outreach talk on the part of the 2019 Nobel Physics Prize awarded for the discovery of the first exoplanets. Not only Professor Correia is a working scientist on the field, but he also worked, as a post-doc, in the group of the two laureates, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. A knowledgeable and entertaining account!
The V Amazonian Symposium on Physics was held in Belém, Brazil, from 18-22 November 2019. This meeting was co-sponsored by the Marie Curie RISE FunFiCO network and co-organised by Gr@v members. The invited speakers included Bill Unruh, Bob Wald, John Friedman, Jorge Zanelli and Mirjam Cvetic, amongst others.
In this work, we study cosmological and astrophysical applications of the recently proposed generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity theory, which combines features of both the metric and th
