Gravitational Physics
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 [...]
