During the week of 13-17 November 2023 we had the pleasure to host Rodrigo Vicente from IFAE, U. Barcelona and Roman Pasechnik from the U. Lund to tell us about their latest research. Of course, discussions are better over a nice lunch!
Recent horizon-scale images of Messier 87* and Sagittarius A* have been used to demonstrate that their spacetimes are well-described by the Ke
C. Herdeiro visited the St. Kliment Ohridski U. Sofia (Bulgaria) delivering a talk on Boson stars and Black holes with synchronised hair, invited by Prof. Stoytcho Yazadjiev (both in the photo).
The field of gravitational wave astronomy is allowing us to study the nature of compact objects in binary systems through their gravitational wave emission. Namely, the tidal deformability of such objects, encoded in their Tidal Love Numbers (TLNs) gives us a window into their composition and the physics behind them.
The annual meeting of the Maths Department Ph.D. students will take place on 27 Oct 2023. Marco Brito and Etevaldo Costa, both enrolled in the MAP-Fis Ph.D. programme will represent our group.
Elsevier published the "Updated science-wide author database of standardized citation indicators" in October 2023
The first scientific meeting of the NewFunFiCO network took place in Cuernavaca, Mexico, from 4-6 Oct 2023. Three intense days of workshop and discussions. Many ideas, synergies and collaborations ahead!
The Fourth European Physical Society conference on gravitation will be devoted to Black Holes. The meeting will take place in Valencia, 13-15 Nov 2023, with the participation of our group.
Springer published the book "Modified and quantum gravity: from theory to experimental searches on all scales" (2023), with a contribution from Gr@v.
The XIV School of the Division of Gravitation and Mathematical Physics of the Mexican Physics Society and the VIIIth Scalar field dark matter workshop took place from 25-29 Sep 2023 and 29-30 Sep 2023 in Cancun, Mexico. Gr@v members C. Herdeiro and H. Olivares, as well as former member J. C. Degollado were amongst the invited speaks, and A. Morais presented also a communication.
