To close our academic year seminar/webinar programme we had the pleasure to host Leong Khim Wong, from Saclay, France, who gave an on campus seminar on "Gravitational Waves from spontaneously scalarized black holes", on June 29 2022.
Gr@v members A. Morais, F. Freitas and C. Herdeiro, reuniting with former member N. Sanchis-Gual, in Valencia, Spain, during the 2nd Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning (20-23 June 2022).
A two days workshop "Exact solutions in classical field theory: Solitons, black holes and bosons stars", that will take place on 2-3 June will honour the work of Yves Brihaye, former head of the Research Unit of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics and currently Professor Emeritus in the Unit Physics of the Univers, Fields and Gravitation. As long time collaborators, E. Radu and C. Herdeiro are two of the invited speakers of the workshop.
The 2nd Workshop on Compact Objects, Gravitational Waves and Deep Learning will take place in Valencia, from 20-23 June 2022, co-organized by our group. The first edition of this series of workshops took place in Aveiro, in September 2020.
May 12th 2022 will go down in history as the first day when the public saw the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This historical announcement came together with 10 scientific papers. Paper VI cites work by our group.
