Conferences ============================================== 1.1. XVIII Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25064 Starting: 2022-09-12 to 2022-09-16 Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Additional Information: https://mesonpi.cat.cbpf.br/XVIII-bscg/#history Contact: bscg[AT]cbpf.br The Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation (BSCG) is a traditional international school about Cosmology and Gravitation for graduate students, young pos-docs and researchers in the field, which has been held in Brazil since 1978. Some of the speakers of the school were Evgeny Lifshitz, Bryce DeWitt, Yvone de Choquet-Bruhat, Rocky Kolb, Claudio Teitelboim, George Ellis, John Ellis, David Schram, George Smoot, Werner Israel, Larry Ford, Robert Brandenberger, Slava Mukhanov, Jorge Pullin, Luca Amendola, William Unruh, among many others. The visit of these outstanding scientists to Brazil played a fundamental role in the formation of research groups in Cosmology, Gravitation and Astrophysics in our country, and the implementation of many international scientific collaborations. The 18th edition of the BSCG is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Friedmann cosmological solution. It will contain mini-courses focusing on the primordial and hot Universe, the physics of extreme energy scales near the cosmological singularity, present in the Friedmann solution, and its possible resolution in the context of quantum gravity approaches. There will also be advanced seminars concerning aspects of the late Universe, and the upcoming tensions of the standard cosmological model based on the Friedmann solution. This edition of the school will also celebrate Mario Novello's 80th anniversary, the founding-father of the BSCG, dedicating one day of the meeting, September 12, to seminars and talks in his honor. During this day we have already confirmed talks of 30 minutes plus 10 minutes of discussions by William Unruh, Alexei Starobinski, Alexander Dolgov, Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Nathalie Deruelle, Ignacio Bediaga, Nami Fux Svaiter, Ivano Soares, Carlos Romero, Junior Toniato, Sergio Joras, Eduardo Bittencourt, and the former Minister of Science and Technology Roberto Amaral. In the following 4 days, September 13 to 16, 2022, the mini-courses of 4 lectures by Edward Kolb, Fabio Finelli, Antonio Pereira, Patrick Peter, and Suddhasattwa Brahma will take place, with 50 minutes for each lecture plus 15 minutes of discussions for each course. Completing these days, advanced seminars of 50 minutes plus 10 minutes of discussions will be held by Wendy Freedman, Leila Graef, Slava Mukhanov, and Jerome Martin. All days are divided in morning sections from 9 am until 12:30, with one coffee break of 20 minutes, and afternoon sections from 2:30 pm until 6:30 pm, with one coffee break of 20 minutes, with 40 minutes to visit the poster section, which will be exhibited in a room besides the main auditorium. The courses are introductory to research activities in the area of Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Gravitation. The seminars are advanced. The participants are expected to be senior undergraduate students in Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, or Engineering, graduate students and post-docs in Physics or Astronomy, and researchers in these areas. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.2. ACES Workshop 2022, Paris, France --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25086 Starting: 2022-07-20 to 2022-07-21 Location: Paris, France Additional Information: https://aces2022.sciencesconf.org/ Contact: marc.lilley[AT]obspm.fr The Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) is developing high performance clocks and links for space to test Einstein's theory of general relativity. From the International Space Station (ISS), the ACES payload will distribute a clock signal with fractional frequency instability and inaccuracy at the 1.0E-16 level, thus establishing a global network to compare atomic clocks in space and on ground. In the fundamental physics domain, ACES will provide a measurement of Einstein's gravitational redshift, it will search for time variations of fundamental constants, and contribute to dark matter searches. Moreover, it will measure geopotential differences between the ground clocks connected through ACES, it will perform time transfer and clock synchronization experiments, and contribute to the study of atmospheric propagation delays. The ACES program has recently suffered from major delays due to the difficulties encountered in the development and test of the active hydrogen maser and the time transfer microwave system. The COVID pandemic has not helped either. The constant support from the worldwide scientific community, National Space Agencies, and ESA has now brought new momentum and resources into the ACES program. The new schedule foresees ACES to be ready for launch to the ISS in 2025. With the revival of the project, we are also resuming the annual ACES workshops. The colloquium will bring together the scientific community to: - Present the progress of ACES in all domains, from the instruments status to the data analysis and the mission scientific performance; - Present the progress of atomic clocks and clock-based experiments for general relativity tests, time & frequency metrology, and geodesy applications; - Encourage international collaborations between research institutes for the exploitation of ACES; - Discuss recent results from space-based experiments as well as new ideas and proposals on fundamental physics explorers in space. The workshop will be held at the Ecole Normale Superieure, 29 rue d'Ulm - Paris, on 20-21 October. It will consist of invited and contributed talks. We warmly encourage all participants to submit abstracts. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.3.

How to connect simulations and observations? Valencia, Spain --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25111 Starting: 2022-09-05 to 2022-09-08 Location: Valencia, Spain Additional Information: https://congresos.adeituv.es/supernova/ Contact: michael.gabler[AT]uv.es Supernova (SN) are among the most fascinating events occurring in the universe. Recent years have brought tremendous progress in observations of young remnants of these explosions that show a genuinely three dimensional structure of the ejected matter. New instruments like JWST or Athena will increase our knowledge further. At the same time our theoretical understanding allows us to model SN consistently from the explosion up to the first centuries in full 3D and first qualitative comparisons are performed. New numerical tools are becoming available to study also 3D effects on the lightcurve or spectra of SN explosions. Therefore, it is now timely to connect the observations to theory in a quantitative way. For this purpose, the models need to be improved and appropriate measures or metrics need to be found to quantify differences between observations and different models. In this workshop we aim at discussing the next steps to make use of the new possibilities to connect theory and observations. Some key questions could be: What are the 3D effects on: Morphology, spectra, lightcurves, gravitational waves... How reliable are observations? What is actually observed? How big are the "error bars"? What resolutions are achieved now and what can be expected to be improved in the (near) future. What is missing in the theoretical models to compare to observations? (e.g. molecule or dust formation, good understanding of mixing and instabilities, different physical processes: beta decay, cooling, radiation transport, cosmic ray generation, ionization, magnetic fields ...) How can we combine different approaches to maximize the return? Can we make quantitative statements to be able to compare to observations. Which kind of metric makes sense to use. What can be done now, soon and what not? What can we learn from multi-messenger astrophysics? In particular, what gravitational waves could tell us about SN explosions. How can we visualize and analyze the results? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.5. Women Of the World (WOW) in Physics!
