Mini-Workshop on Gravitational Waves and their First Detection

During November 28 - December 2, 2016, (with a possible extension to the week after) we will hold a very-mini-workshop on advanced topics in Gravitational Waves and their First Detection by LIGO. Room: 315D on the 3rd floor of CBPF. Here follows a tentative schedule:

Monday November 28

Time: 10-11:30h

Speaker: Arthur Scardua (CBPF) on 'Data Analysis and -maybe- Post-Newtonian Theory for GW Detection' or else Marc Casals (CBPF) on 'Quasinormal Modes/Ringdown and -maybe- Superradiance'
