On-site: Room TBD
Event type
GW170817 and GRB 170817A provided direct evidence that binary neutron star (NSNS) mergers can produce short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). However, questions remain about the nature of the central engine.

The optical appearance of some regular compact objects
Speaker
Mercè Guerrero (CIDMA, University of Aveiro)
Event date
Venue
On-site: Sala Sousa Pinto
Event type
The significance of multi-ring images in the optical appearance of spherically symmetric compact objects is discussed. Such images are produced by an optically and geometrically thin accretion disk illuminating the object.
Beyond the Concordance Model with galaxy cluster mass profiles
Speaker
Lorenzo Pizzuti (University of Milano-Biccoca)
Event date
Venue
On-site: Room TBD
Event type
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.
