E. Barausse (SISSA, Italy) and C. Herdeiro (Gr@v) are the guest editors for a Classical and Quantum Gravity Focus issue on the Impact of EHT Observations for General Relativity. For more information see the focus issue webpage.
Lorenzo Annulli (Ph.D. IST-Lisbon, 2021) and Etevaldo Costa Filho (M.Sc. U. São Paulo, 2020), joined our group as a new post-doctoral researcher and Ph.D. student, respectively, from the fall 2021. Welcome!
The XIV Black Holes Workshop will be held at the University of Aveiro, on 20-21 December 2021. Registration was open on September 1st 2021. See the webpage for more information.
Full Name: Etevaldo dos Santos Costa Filho
C. Herdeiro was one of the invited lecturers of the 10th school on astrophysics and gravitation, held from 2-7 September at IST-Lisbon, delivering a course on "Theoretical and Observational Cosmology".
According to the Penrose's cosmic censorship conjecture, curvature singularities in General Relativity are always hidden by an horizon. This implies that the charge-to-mass ratio of a spherically symmetric charged black hole in Einstein-Maxwell theory cannot be larger than one.
Jorge Delgado, a Gr@v Ph.D. student was an invited speaker at the Grav@Zon group meeting. The talk is available in YouTube.
Zeus Sales Moreira a student from Universidade Federal do Pará, Brazil, successfully defended his M.Sc. thesis entitled “Black hole spacetimes: radiation emission and light rings” on July 29th. The thesis was advised by C. Herdeiro and L. Crispino and the examiners were E. Radu and G. Olmo (U. Valencia). Congratulations Zeus!
Guilherme Raposo (left, Ph.D. from Rome, La Sapienza, 2021) joined our group in a partnership with IST-Lisbon from July 2021. Welcome Guilherme! João Novo (middle) and João Pino (right) were awarded individual FCT PhD scholarships in the 2021 call. Congratulations to both!
