Talks in Belém and Salinas
Within the decade long collaboration between Gr@v and the gravity group at Federal University of Pará, Brasil, C. Herdeiro visited the UFPA Campi in Belém and Salinas in August 2024, giving scientific seminars and outreach talks.
12 million CPU-hours awarded to our group
A computing proposal prepared by S. Gimeno-Soler, P. Cunha, I. Sengo and C. Herdeiro, and led by H. Olivares was awarded with 12 million CPU-hours at the supercomputer Mare Nostrum 5.
The project, titled "Exploring accretion and spacetime models for event-horizon-scale observations of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei", will explore new models of accretion flows and spacetime geometries for the targets of the Event Horizon Telescope using simulations as the one shown in the picture (Image credit: H. Olivares and P. Cunha).
