Gravity Seminar: Two types of nuclear transients – tidal disruption events and disruptive collisions, Taeho Ryu, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching, Germany
Edifici Antoni Maria Alcover, UIB AULA 2AGalactic nuclei are extreme environments where stars are densely packed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Occasionally, dynamical interactions in the galactic center lead the [...]
Gravity Seminar: Black hole perturbations and phase-amplitude methods, Hector Okada da Silva, AEI Potsdam, Germany
Edifici Antoni Maria Alcover, UIB Aula 03BThe inference of quasinormal modes frequencies from the ringdown part of gravitational-wave signals produced by the coalescence of black hole binaries can be used to [...]
Pas endavant per fer realitat el primer observatori espacial d’ones gravitacionals, amb participació de la UIB
Els investigadors de la Universitat de les Illes Balears que participen en la missió espacial europea LISA atendran els mitjans de comunicació per explicar els [...]

Agrupación Astronómica de SabadellAlicia Sintes impartirá el 31 de enero de 2024 a las 19:00 en la Agrupación Astronómica de Sabadell una conferencia titulada: Escuchando al Universo, últimos [...]
Gravity Seminar: Gravitational waves and multi-messenger astronomy, Neha Singh, UIB
Aula 5b, Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda, UIB , SpainThe growing number of gravitational wave detections in recent years has established Gravitational waves astronomy as a strong contributor to multi messenger astronomy. In this [...]
PhD seminar: Ángel Garrón, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Improved analysis of gravitationally lensed gravitational waves
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainThe sensitivity of gravitational waves detectors keeps improving and we should expect to find gravitationally lensed gravitational waves soon. Since the number of detections is [...]
PhD seminar: Joan René Mérou Mestre, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — All-sky searching for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems in the O4a run data
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainRapidly spinning, non-axisymmetric neutron stars (NSs) are expected to emit continuous gravitational waves (CWs). Detecting such signals would significantly improve our understanding of the galactic [...]
PhD Seminar: Maria de Lluc Planas Llompart, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Towards building a phenomenological aligned spin eccentric model: PhenomTEHM
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainThe increase in sensitivity and detector upgrades planned in the coming years will challenge existing waveform models and demand considerable improvements in accuracy, parameter space [...]
PhD Seminar: Maria Rosselló Sastre, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Modeling the full (l=2, m=0) spherical harmonic: memory effect and ringdown oscillations
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainThe current phenomenological waveform models for binary black hole mergers do not include the (l=2, m=0) spherical harmonic, which is the only mode with l=2 [...]
PhD Seminar: Joan Llobera Querol, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Aligning and Constructing Hybrid Waveforms for Precessing Binaries
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainPrecessing binaries exhibit complex dynamics that significantly modulate the emitted gravitational waveform. Describing such systems is challenging due to the lack of a canonical choice [...]
Gravity Seminar: Rita Santos, Support Scientist UIB – Characteristic Critical Collapse with Null Infinity
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainSolutions to the Einstein Equations that are close to the threshold of black hole formation exhibit features that resemble critical phenomena in statistical mechanics. We [...]
PhD Seminar: Jorge Valencia Gómez, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Mind the step: On the frequency-domain analysis of gravitational-wave memory waveforms
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainGravitational wave memory is characterized by a signal component that persists after a transient signal has decayed. Treating such signals in the frequency domain is [...]
PhD Seminar: Jesús Yébana Carrilero, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Bridging the gap between extreme and comparable mass ratios in black-hole binaries
Aula 4, The Complexe, ParcBit , SpainState-of-the-art gravitational waveform models need input from many frameworks tackling the relativistic two-body problem. Among them are the gravitational self-force approach, which was designed to [...]
PhD Seminar: Llorenç Melis, Estudiant del Programa de Doctorat de Física — Surface waves and KHi in a prominence-corona interface: effect of the ambipolar diffusion
There are a wide variety of phenomena in solar prominences, such as waves, instabilities or mass flows. Observations have shown the ubiquitous presence of MHD [...]
