Part 1: kobra: A Vlasov Code with AMR
Current and former members of Gr@v met at the XVIII Black Holes Workshop in Lisbon.
C. Herdeiro is one of the lecturers in the Licán Ray meeting, Chile, on Black Hole Physics, at the end of January 2026.
Gr@v had the pleasure to host Zakaria Belkhadria (Université de Genève/Università degli Studi di Cagliari) who gave the group seminar on Dec 12th 2025.
Gr@v is welcoming expressions of interest for the 8th edition of the CEEC competition. This call will fund three-year postdoctoral research contracts, offered at two levels depending on the applicant’s experience. Interested researchers are invited to contact the group coordinator. Application deadline: 29 January 2026.
In the first week of December 2025 we had the pleasure of hosting Panagiotis Dorlis and Hendrik Mannenga, visiting from Athens and Oldenburg. Panagiotis gave an intersting seminar on How much gravitons can be squeezed. Many thanks for your visits!
The Portuguese Physics Society’s bulletin, Gazeta da Física, has released a special issue dedicated to Gravitational Waves, marking the 10th anniversary of the first detection, GW150914. Our group contributed to this commemorative edition.
25-11-25 was a wonderful day of celebration of past achievements, present efforts, and future horizons. It was a true joy to see so many colleagues, collaborators, and friends—who have shaped, and continue to shape, the history, present, and future of Gr@v, gathered both online and onsite. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the first fifteen years of Gr@v during this remarkable era of strong-gravity research. We look forward to the next fifteen years!
On November 25, 1915, Einstein presented the field equations of General Relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences. A hundred and ten years later, we celebrate the remarkable progress of the field of strong gravity — its many achievements, the 15th anniversary of the Aveiro Gr@v group (est. 2010), and a decade since the first detection of gravitational waves.
