CIDMA, the research unit Gr@v integrates, has annouced two one year postdoctoral positions starting in September 2020. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics or related areas (the scientific areas of Gr@v are elegible). The application period is May 14th-31st. More details can be found here and here.
Discussion on the paper "Stationary black holes and light rings", ArXiv:2003.06445 to appear in Physical Review Letters, as an Editor's Suggestion.
Here, the numerical data described in the paper "Black holes with synchronised Proca hair: linear clouds and fundamental non-linear solutions", arXiv:2004.09536 [gr-qc] [1], is made available for public use.
This data pertains the fundamental states (n=0) of these hairy black holes and spinning Proca stars. Some data for the excited states (n=1) was previously made available here.

In the article "Stationary black holes and light rings" by P. Cunha and C. Herdeiro, published in Physical Review Letters, as Editor's Suggestion, a theorem is proven establishing that, under very generic conditions, any black hole must have a light ring.
Research cannot stop, even in this exceptional time! Gr@v member keep meeting virtually to push the group activities.
Recently, a novel modified theory of gravity that claims to bypass Lovelock's theorem whilst preserving the number of gravitational degrees of freedom has attracted a great deal of attention.

A recent breakthrough in the separability of the Proca equation in Kerr spacetime opened up new opportunities for a thorough study of fast-growi
Advanced interferometric techniques as those employed in the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and GRAVITY recently allowed to study the environment of the two nearest supermassive black hole candidates at horizon-scale resoluton.
