Astro-GR@Cuba 2023, Habana, Cuba --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25574 Starting: 2023-03-05 to 2023-03-18 Location: Habana, Cuba Additional Information: https://astro-gr.org/astro-gr-cuba-2023/ Contact: astro-gr-cuba2023[AT]protonmail.com Pau Amaro Seoane, Fernando Guzman, Leonel Morejon, Amaya Ofelia Casanova and Stamatis Vretinaris are organizing the next Astro-GR meeting, which will be focusing, as usual, on astrophysics of gravitational waves, including general relativity, physics and observational astronomy This is the meeting nr 23 in a series of workshops which intend to unite people working on different disciplines of gravitational waves: astrophysicists, theoretical and numerical relavisits and data analysts. The meeting will take place at the Instituto Superior de Tecnologias y Ciencias Aplicadas (InSTEC) de la Universidad de La Habana, from 5-18 March 2023. The talks will not be classical talks, but "constantly-interrupted-ones", in the sense that the speakers will have to address as many questions as the students see fit to ask to understand the topic being presented, instead of just listening to a talk. There is a difference. This is the list of participants we have so far (with some missing names to be added yet, I will be updating the list on the page): Fernando Guzman, Veronica Vazquez Aceves, Andrew Taylor, Alessandra Mastrobuono Battisti, Kostas Kokkotas, Pablo Laguna, Badri Krishnan, Daniel Siegel, Abhay Ashtekar (online), Luis Lehner, Roger Blandford, Mitch Begelman, Selin Ustundag, Ulrich Sperhake (online), Cliff Will (online), Deirdre Shoemaker, Zoltan Haiman, Odele Straub, Xian Chen, Amaya Ofelia Casanova, Pau Amaro Seoane, Tanja Hinderer (online) For details about registration, venue and accommodation, please visit the web page. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.2. DarkCosmoGrav: New Frontiers in Particle Physics, Gravity, and Cosmology, Pisa, Italy --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25587 Starting: 2023-01-23 to 2023-01-25 Location: Pisa, Italy Additional Information: https://agenda.infn.it/e/darkcosmograv Contact: darkcosmograv[AT]df.unipi.it We are thrilled to announce that the Conference "DarkCosmoGrav: New Frontiers in Particle Physics, Gravity, and Cosmology" will take place in January 23-24-25, 2023, at the University of Pisa. The aim of this event is twofold. On the one hand, by hosting world-renowned experts in these subjects, we want to critically review recent progresses in particle physics, gravity and cosmology, especially underlining their connections. On the other hand, the goal is to bring together researchers from different but tightly connected research areas to increase the exchange of ideas between them and give the participants the possibility to start new and exciting collaborations. From the scientific standpoint, given the recent theoretical and experimental developments in high energy physics and cosmology, it is becoming crucial to better understand the connection between these fields. Indeed, cosmological observations are becoming increasingly more important for both the particle physics and gravity communities. In fact, our understanding of Nature accounts for only about 5% of the content of the Universe, whereas the remaining elusive ingredients strongly point at new physics beyond our standard paradigms, both at the smallest and at the largest scales. It is therefore essential to investigate the theoretical and phenomenological developments in all of these areas, while also increasing the communication between them. DarkCosmoGrav will feature: Six plenary speakers 24 talks Evening poster session Round table Special Talk We warmly invite you to come and present your work with a talk or a poster and to join in stimulating discussions covering all aspects in the fields of particle physics, gravity and cosmology, with a special emphasis on the topics at their intersections. We particularly encourage the participation of young researchers. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.3. Training School, "Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach", Jelenia Gora, Poland --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25636 Starting: 2023-02-12 to 2023-02-21 Location: Jelenia Gora, Poland Additional Information: https://indico.capa.unizar.es/event/30/ Contact: qgmm.cost[AT]gmail.com Welcome to the Third Training School of COST Action CA18108 "Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach" This COST Action CA18108 training school is held jointly with the 59th edition of the Winter School of Theoretical Physics. The event is organized by the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Wroclaw at Palac Wojanow, Poland. The European COST Action CA18108 - "Quantum Gravity Phenomenology in the Multi-Messenger Approach", is an initiative funded by the COST Association, whose goal is to investigate possible signatures predicted by quantum gravity models in the observation of different cosmic messengers, such as gamma rays, neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves. The success of this endeavor requires the close collaboration of scientists from very different backgrounds, ranging from experimentalists specialized in data collection and analyses for specific cosmic messengers, to theorists working on different quantum gravity models. A fundamental ingredient to make such cooperation effective is to share a common language and be familiar with the tools used by the different communities. This is where the role of this school comes in as fundamental: its goal is to start training a generation of young scientists in the interdisciplinary expertise on quantum gravity theories and models and on experimental and theoretical approaches to multi-messenger astroparticle physics. As such, the different editions of the Training School will offer lectures from experts on different facets of the scientific gear the students will acquire, including data analysis and interpretation for individual sources, the creation and analysis of joint datasets of different cosmic messengers, the interplay between quantum gravity theory modeling and phenomenological predictions. The school is aimed at Master and PhD students, as well as early-career postdocs. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.4.

Black Hole Interiors: Classical and Quantum (online) --------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/11/30/black-hole-interiors-classica... Starting: 2022-12-14 to 2022-12-14 Location: Online Additional Information: https://iop.eventsair.com/gp2022/ Contact: brien.nolan[AT]dcu.ie Institute of Physics Gravitational Physics Group Annual Meeting (Online) Black Hole Interiors, Classical and Quantum: Mathematical and Numerical Approaches. Wednesday 14th December, 11am - 4.30pm Roger Penrose's Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis, now over 50 years old, has generated a huge amount of work that has revealed numerous insights into black hole interiors. A key aspect of this hypothesis is that the inner horizon of a black hole (charged, rotating or both) should be unstable. Recent results have shown the deep subtleties involved in this hypothesis, with insights coming from mathematical relativity, semi-classical gravity and from numerical studies. Furthermore, the role of semi-classical effects raises questions regarding the continued applicability of classical singularity theorems. This year's annual meeting of the Gravitational Physics Group will comprise a series of talks related to different aspects of black hole interiors, reviewing a number of these recent results. Our speakers will be: Marc Casals (Leipzig) - Quantum fluxes at the inner horizon of a spinning black hole Mihalis Dafermos (Cambridge) - TBC Eleni-Alexandra Kontou (King's College, London) - Singularity theorems in semi-classical gravity Raimon Luna (Valencia) - Strong cosmic censorship: The nonlinear story The meeting will be held over Zoom and all are welcome: relevant links will be available on registration via the URL above. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ============================================== 2.

Postdoctoral position in gravitational waves or gravitational lensing, Hong Kong ------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/?p=25662 Deadline: 2022-12-15 Location: Hong Kong Additional Information: https://forms.gle/TLwYDjZMZH3u8Ggo8 Contact: oahannuksela[AT]cuhk.edu.hk A two-year postdoctoral researcher position at the CUHK gravitational-wave group, Hong Kong, is available starting earliest June 2023. Candidates with experience in areas of gravitational-wave physics or gravitational lensing are encouraged to apply. How to apply? To apply, please send your CV and statement of purpose to (https://forms.gle/TLwYDjZMZH3u8Ggo8) along with two reference letters. The application deadline is December 15th or until positions are filled. Project description: General relativity posits that gravitational waves, like light, can be gravitationally lensed. Recent studies suggest that we could detect gravitational-wave lensing as early as in the coming few years as the current ground-based detectors are upgraded. However, the methods to detect and employ gravitational-wave lensing are entirely different from light lensing. Indeed, we detect waves instead of particles, and the source population is one of merging black holes. For these reasons, the field would pave the way to interesting new applications in a wide range of scientific domains, one of which is combined lensing observations using multiple messenger signals - electromagnetic and gravitational-wave signals [1]. However, to realize these applications in practice, several challenges relating to methodology and science-case development need to be overcome. The postdoctoral researcher would work on combining gravitational-wave lensing with follow-up electromagnetic lens reconstructions at the border between two fields. The work would be done in collaboration with institutes from the Netherlands and Belgium. Beyond the research work, the position would also involve graduate student supervision.

GRG Golden Oldies by Rainer Weiss ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/11/28/grg-golden-oldies-by-rainer-w... Additional Information: https://link.springer.com/collections/ibdhihefdh The Golden Oldies series of the journal General Relativity and Gravitation reprints important papers in general relativity theory that were published 30 or more years ago and are either hard to get hold of, or were originally printed in a language other than English. In 2022, we celebrate Rai Weiss' 90th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his original GW detector design study with a republication of one of the most significant papers in the Golden Oldies series: Rainer Weiss.

New Einstein Toolkit Release (Kowalevski) ------------------------------------------------------------ Announcement on Hyperspace@GU: https://hyperspace.uni-frankfurt.de/2022/11/29/new-einstein-toolkit-release-... Additional Information: https://einsteintoolkit.org/about/releases/ET_2022_11_announcement.html Release Announcement We are pleased to announce the twenty-fifth release (code name "Sophie Kowalevski") of the Einstein Toolkit, an open-source, community developed software infrastructure for relativistic astrophysics. The major changes in this release include: * many READS / WRITES statements were corrected * there is now more robust testsuite error reporting * kuibit has improved support for modern matplotlib versions * a workaround for Intel 19+ compilers was added to GRHydro Three new arrangements and thorns have been added: * FLRW initial data solver for cosmological initial data * NRPyEllipticET hyperbolic relaxation initial data solver for vacuum spacetimes * The Canuda library of codes now supports complex and real scalar fields New capabilities for existing codes: * The SelFforce-1D code now supports gravitational perturbations using the Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli formalism In addition, bug fixes accumulated since the previous release in May 2022 have been included. The Einstein Toolkit is a collection of software components and tools for simulating and analyzing general relativistic astrophysical systems that builds on numerous software efforts in the numerical relativity community including code to compute initial data parameters, the spacetime evolution codes Baikal, lean_public, and McLachlan, analysis codes to compute horizon characteristics and gravitational waves, the Carpet AMR infrastructure, and the relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics codes GRHydro and IllinoisGRMHD. Data analysis and postprocessing is handled by the kuibit library. The Einstein Toolkit also contains a 1D self-force code. For parts of the toolkit, the Cactus Framework is used as the underlying computational infrastructure providing large-scale parallelization, general computational components, and a model for collaborative, portable code development. The Einstein Toolkit uses a distributed software model and its different modules are developed, distributed, and supported either by the core team of Einstein Toolkit Maintainers, or by individual groups. For more information about using or contributing to the Einstein Toolkit, or to join the Einstein Toolkit Consortium, please visit our web pages, or contact the users mailing list users[AT]einsteintoolkit.org. The Einstein Toolkit is primarily supported by NSF 2004157/2004044/2004311/2004879/2003893 (Enabling fundamental research in the era of multi-messenger astrophysics).
