Gravitation

Dear all,

On Monday, October 17 at 10.00 we will be welcoming Rachel Gray (Queen Mary University of London) for the gravitation group seminar. The seminar will take place online - the zoom link can be found below.

Rachel will talk about cosmological constraints from gravitational wave dark sirens and galaxy catalogs.

We will be welcoming Riccardo Buscicchio (Università di Milano-Bicocca and INFN, Sez. di Milano-Bicocca) for the Gravitation group seminar. This seminar will take place online (the zoom link can be found below) next Monday, June 13 at 10:00 am CEST. 

Riccardo will give an introduction to: 
Title:  Stellar mass binary black holes: what, when, and where

Jan Harms
Title: Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna

S.Katsanevas
Detecting Gravitational Waves at the Moon

After recalling the definition of a black hole and its basic properties (mass, angular momentum and area), the seminar will focus on links between black holes and gravitational waves. In particular black hole thermodynamics will be discussed in connection with gravitational wave emission, as well as the so-called black hole information paradox.
