The optical appearance of some regular compact objects

Gr@v Seminars - Banner
Speaker
Mercè Guerrero (CIDMA, University of Aveiro)
Event date
Venue
On-site: Sala Sousa Pinto
Event type
The significance of multi-ring images in the optical appearance of spherically symmetric compact objects is discussed. Such images are produced by an optically and geometrically thin accretion disk illuminating the object.

Beyond the Concordance Model with galaxy cluster mass profiles

Gr@v Seminars - Banner
Speaker
Lorenzo Pizzuti (University of Milano-Biccoca)
Event date
Venue
On-site: Room TBD
Event type

Galaxy clusters are excellent natural laboratories to study the nature of gravity and test possible alternatives to the Concordance Model, at the edge between cosmology and astrophysics.

Numerical evolution of well-posed field theories with anisotropic scaling

Gr@v Seminars - Banner
Speaker
Marcelo Rubio (SISSA, Trieste)
Event date
Venue
On-site: Room TBD
Event type
Dynamical equations exhibiting an anisotropic scaling between space 
and time admit a dispersive nature, as they contain higher-order spatial derivatives, 
but remain second order in time.
