Galaxy clusters are excellent natural laboratories to study the nature of gravity and test possible alternatives to the Concordance Model, at the edge between cosmology and astrophysics.
P. Cunha and C. Herdeiro were invited speakers at the online workshop on numerical and analytical relativity (NAR-2024), organized by the Department of Applied Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA) during 20 - 22 March 2024. The video recorded lectures can be seen here.
Numerical Relativity is a key tool for the study of strong-field gravity. I will present a new evolution code, based on the Kadath library. It relies on multidomain spectral methods for the space discretization, and explicit time integration schemes.
The prospect of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background from the primordial universe offers a promising new window for cosmology and fundamental physics.
Visakan Balakumar, Marie Curie seconded fellow within the RISE FunFiCO project, coordinated by Gr@v, authored a YouTube outreach video on superradiance. Check it out here!
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
