51st Saas-Fee Course – Compact-Object Astrophysics in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy

Saas-Fee

The 51th "Saas-Fee Advanced Course" of the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy (SSAA) will be held from 24 to 28 January 2022 in Saas-Fee, in the Swiss Alps. This course is primarily targeted at Ph.D. and advanced M.Sc. students, but can also be valuable to young postdoctoral researchers who would like to start exploring…

Applications of AI to gravitational wave science

This event aims to: - Help artificial intelligence (AI) experts to understand gravitational wave (GW) challenges - Help GW experts to understand AI strategies and opportunities - Foster collaboration between the AI and GW communities (especially at UniGe, but others are welcome!) - Kick-start cross-departmental activities in the context of the newly-formed UniGe Gravitational Wave Science…

Stellar progenitors of gravitational wave sources

Geneva Observatory Chemin Pegasi 51, Versoix, Geneva

Arguably,  the most exciting recent discovery in our field is the direct detection of gravitational waves.  Not only the detection itself, but also the inferred parameters of the first event caused consternation.  With surprisingly high masses, about thirty solar masses each, the two incoming black holes were unlike any of the black holes known so…
