Event type
In this talk, I will give an overview of how to do field-level likelihood-free inference with galaxy catalogs.
More specifically, only using phase-space information, I will show how to convert galaxy catalogs into graphs.
I will explain how to use graph neural networks, associated with moment neural networks, to constrain Omega matter.
APS Journal Club
American Physical Society invited the authors of the paper "Exotic Compact Objects and the fate of the light ring instability" to participate in the APS Journal Club (JC), dedicated to selected papers published in Physical Review Letters. It was the first time this JC was dedicated to a gravity paper. The video recording of the session will be found in the JC webpage.
Group meeting in São Pedro do Sul
Our group organized the "State of the art techniques in Strong Gravity" Meeting, in São Pedro do Sul 26-28 April 2023 as a retreat type meeting to exchange ideas. The inspiring discussions will certainly foster new research!
Seminar at the Galileo Galilei Institute
Gr@v Ph.D. student E. Costa presented a seminar on the "Proca-Higgs model" in the Mini-Workshop "New Horizons for Horizonless Physics" at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence, Italy.
Colloquium at Tubingen
C. Herdeiro presented an invited colloquium at the U. Tubingen. Thank you to D. Doneva and the whole group for the warm and scientifically stimulating hospitality!
Celebration group lunch
Celebrating the recent "UA Investigador" prize and the group's many (great) guests on Mar 7th 2023. Thank you to Prof. Carolina Benone (U. F. do Pará, Brazil) for the visit and welcome to Prof. Maurício Richartz (U. F. ABC, Brazil), who is joining us for a month. And we also got the short visit of Francisco Duque, from IST-Lisbon, who presented the group seminar on Mar 8th.
