Strong Gravity News & Events
Oleg Tsupko joins Gr@v
Oleg Tsupko, an expert in several strong gravity topics including lensing and black hole shadows, joins Gr@v as a CEEC researcher from April 2026. Welcome Oleg!
Seminars in Prague
The Gr@v coordinator, C. Herdeiro, visited Prague to deliver two seminars, at CEICO and Charles University. The visit provided a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues in a city rich in scientific and cultural heritage - home to figures such as Kepler, Tycho Brahe, Einstein, Doppler, Mach, Bolzano, and Kafka. Many thanks to both groups for their kind hospitality and for making this visit possible.

Accretion beyond the black hole paradigm: a light from within the shadow
I will discuss the first 3D-general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulation of sustained accretion onto a horizonless singularity in which matter falls onto the central object rather than being accumulated outside of it or expelled in outflows.
