Within the context of the European COST Action GWverse, the community has sumarized the state of the art and propects for the future in a comprehensive roadmap: Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap. The GWverse roadmap, co-authored by our group, has been selected by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) as one of the journal's Highlights of 2019-2020.
The article "Traversable wormholes in Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell theory", recently published in Phys. Rev. Lett. as Editor's suggestion, co-authered by Gr@v member Eugen Radu, was featured in Physics.
A recent Gr@v co-authored article is ranked #130 in all time media coverage of Phys. Rev. Lett. outputs. Watch here (in English) and here (in Portuguese) video explanations of the work.
The machine learning work by Gr@v member Felipe Freitas for detecting gravitational waves was awarded a prize of US $4000 in QHack 2021, being ranked in the top 20 amongst over 300 submitted projects.
A recent paper co-authored by Gr@v in Physical Review Letters, interpreting GW190521 as a collision of bosonic stars (rather than black holes) was covered in the 17 February 2021 BBC Science Focus issue on dark stars.
Gr@v members co-author a paper in Physical Review Letters suggesting GW190521 may be a hint of a new dark matter particle.
The paper "Stationary black holes and light rings", by P. Cunha and C. Herdeiro, published in 2020 in Physical Review Letters as Editor's Suggestion, has been placed in the top 5% of all research outputs scored by Altmetric.
The December 2020 issue of the Aveiro University magazine "Linhas UA" includes a feature article covering work at Gr@v and the mysteries of black holes. Check this issue here.
