Duration: N/A
Funding Institution: ESA – European Space Agency
Total grant: € 143,000
SISSA will develop theoretical and phenomenological models for testing the nature of astrophysical black holes and their correspondence to the expected solution of general relativity.
SISSA Principal Investigator: Enrico Barausse
Duration: January 2022 - December 2025
Funding Institution: European Commission – Horizon 2020 / Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Total grant: € 280,600 (of which 55.200 from SISSA)
The landmark detection of gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by merging black-hole and neutron-star binaries have opened a new era in physics. The wealth of data coming from current and future GW detectors (such as 3G, LISA, PTA) will provide an opportunity to challenge current paradigms, exploring fundamental physics from an entirely new perspective.
