Quasinormal Modes in Modified Gravity using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Venue
On-site: Sala Sousa Pinto
Event type

We apply a novel approach based on physics-informed neural networks to the computation of quasinormal modes of black hole solutions in modified gravity. In particular, we focus on the case of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory, with several choices of the coupling function between the scalar field and the Gauss-Bonnet invariant.

Complex structures of boson stars and anisotropic distribution of satellite galaxies

Event date
Venue
On-site: Sala Sousa Pinto
Event type

We construct and explore Noether charge-swapping structures of boson stars, drawing inspiration from similar configurations of non-topological solitons in Minkowski space (Charge-swapping Q-balls). The resulting structures are dynamic, with a multipolar structure and both positive and negative Noether charges within a star.

Phase space mixing of a Vlasov gas in the exterior of a Kerr black hole

Venue
On-site: Sala Sousa Pinto
Event type

We analyze the dynamics of a collisionless kinetic gas propagating in the exterior of a rotating Kerr black hole. We focus on the phase space region corresponding to orbits that are bounded in space.

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).
