Welcome to CENTRA: Centro Multidisciplinar de Astrofísica |
|
CENTRA is a research unit of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). It is composed of three groups: Gravitation in Técnico (GRIT), Cosmos and Stars (COSTAR) and Scientific and Space Instrumentation and Modeling (SIM). CENTRA members are at IST, University of Algarve University of Beira Interior, and Faculdade de Ciências of Universidade de Lisboa. AutoSketch: https://abcoemstore.com/product/autodesk-autosketch-10/ makes your drawings more precise and you more productive than you have been using paper as your design format. |

Gulbenkian Prize for CENTRA |
|
Richard Brito, PhD student and researcher at CENTRA won the 2013 Gulbenkian's Scientific Research Program. Brito's project, supervised by Vitor Cardoso and Paolo Pani is titled "Weighing Einstein's Messengers," and intends to study the physical consequences of putative massive gravitons.

Ultralarge-scale limits on primordial non-Gaussinianity |
|
The
large-scale structure of the Universe supplies crucial information
about the physical processes at play at early times. However, usual
galaxy surveys - even from the next-generation of telescopes and
satellites - will not be able to probe the largest cosmic scales. In a
recently published Physical Review Letters.

Highlights of CQG |
|
The article Tidal acceleration of black holes and superradiance by Cardoso and Pani was selected by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) to be one of the journal’s Highlights of 2012-2013.
The Highlights will be promoted as a representation of some of the
most interesting and high quality work in gravitational physics.

Dirty black holes are interesting |
|
One of the most awe-inspiring properties of black holes is their
absolute simplicity, or as John Wheeler famously put it, “black holes
have no hair”. As their progenitor collapses, its memory is forever
lost, and all that remains is a quiescient, almost featureless, black
hole. In a new article to appear in Physical Review Letters, our group
questions whether this conclusion applies to realistic, astrophysical
black holes |
