Ringdown in Lisbon

Ringdown-focussed workshops have been held in New York in February 2022 and in Copenhagen in August 2024. For the growing community of people working on this topic, we plan to have the next meeting in 2026.

In the last year, the realm of black hole quasi-normal modes have been more vibrant than ever. The large number of updates is recognisable in the rise of a vibrant, young and motivated community that is pushing the boundaries of where we can test the nature of black holes with gravitational waves observations. The aim of this workshop is to give a space to this community for relaxed discussion session and fostering the birth of collaborations.

If you want to participate to the workshop, please fill in the registration form. Please be aware that the maximum number of partecipants is 100 and priority is given to invited participants. You will need manual confirmation from the organisers to finalise the registration.
