Prof. Maurício Richartz, from ABC Federal University, State of São Paulo, Brazil, visited Gr@v in March-April 2023, to discuss analogue models of gravity and other topics. Thank you for your visit Maurício and see you soon!
The next decade will see an overwhelming number of cosmological surveys coming online. The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will, among several other science cases, map the distribution of cold neutral Hydrogen in the Universe using its spin-flip transition emission line at rest of 21cm or 1.4GHz and a novel technique called Intensity Mapping (IM).
Miguel attended the IberiCos 2023 meeting in Ponte de Lima, the oldest village in Portugal. Here he is together with former Gr@v member João Rosa.
Gr@v member Miguel Zilhão was the guest for the activity "Meeting with a scientist", organized by the outreach centre Fábrica.The audience was a group of 4th grade students from the Primary Schools of Glória and São Jacinto. They were all very curious about the Universe and asked a lot of interesting questions.
Gr@v Ph.D. student Marco Brito, visited the U. Valencia within the NewFunFiCO Marie Curie Staff Exchange grant, coordinated by our group. [In the photo with his host, former group member Nico Sanchis-Gual]
Our group visited Colégio de Lamas, in Santa Maria da Feira, to explain basic concepts about Earth and Space. Inevitably, the questions end up discussing black holes!
A call for one 1-year research grant in Strong Gravity for M.Sc. holders enrolled in a doctoral programme at Aveiro University, within the research grant “Gravitational waves and black holes as ultralight dark matter particle detectors", CERN/FIS-PAR/0024/2021, is open from 20 March to 10 April 2023. See attached document for details (in Portuguese) or the Euraxess announcement (in English) here.

Position: Junior Research Fellow (2023-24)
Celebrating the recent "UA Investigador" prize and the group's many (great) guests on Mar 7th 2023. Thank you to Prof. Carolina Benone (U. F. do Pará, Brazil) for the visit and welcome to Prof. Maurício Richartz (U. F. ABC, Brazil), who is joining us for a month. And we also got the short visit of Francisco Duque, from IST-Lisbon, who presented the group seminar on Mar 8th.
