Investigating the O-Na Anticorrelation in Globular Clusters through Improved Low Energy Cross Section Measurements of the 20Ne(p,γ)21Na keV Resonance at LENA Within every Globular Cluster (GC) there exists a star-to-star variation in the abundances of light elements. Specifically, there is an anticorrelation … Read more

Dr. Nicholas Loutrel, Milan-Bicocca Title: The Eccentric Behavior of Compact Binaries The exceptional efforts of the LVK collaboration have resulted in the unprecedented detection of gravitational waves from ninety compact object binaries, most of which are binary black … Read more
Dr. Nicholas Loutrel, Milan-Bicocca Title: Testing the Black Hole No-Hair Theorems with Precessing Binaries Abstract: Black holes in general relativity obey the no-hair theorems, which predict that their multipolar structure is axisymmetric and only dependent on three parameter: … Read more
Dr. Roberto Oliveri- Observatoire de Paris, Meudon Asymptotic symmetries play a crucial role in gravity, particularly in understanding the behaviour of gravitational systems at large distances. The relevance of asymptotic symmetries has always been central in the quest for … Read more
BMS flux-balance laws: a connection between asymptotic symmetries and GW theory Dr. Roberto Oliveri- Observatoire de Paris, Meudon I will first outline the main steps to derive the asymptotic symmetry group in GR, known as the BMS group. Then, I … Read more
