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 [...]
New Frontiers 2025: past, current and future challenges in Numerical Relativity
Universitat de les Illes Balears Carretera Valldemossa km 7.5, Palma de Mallorca, Baleares, SpainIn the history of numerical (or computational) general relativity, the “Frontiers” meeting in 1988 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (USA), played a pivotal role [...]
10th Anniversary of the Discovery of Gravitational Waves
Auditori Son Espanyol Auditorium Parc BIT, Centre Empresaria, Palma, Illes Balears, SpainTo celebrate the 10th anniversary of the momentous first detection of gravitational waves, GW150914, a three-day event will be held in Mallorca, Spain. Monday, September [...]
