Hunting for temperate exoplanets with TESS and NGTS
About the Project. PhD position in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Warwick. Hunting for temperate exoplanets with TESS and NGTS. Read more
Physics and astrophysics of black hole collisions
Position. Coalescences of two black holes are the most powerful cosmic events happening throughout the Universe. Their dynamics sources the strongest gravitational fields experimentally accessible, and gives rise to violent space-time deformations known as gravitational waves. Read more
