5th MaNiTou Summer School on Gravitational Waves, June 29 to July 4, 2026, Nice
5th MaNiTou Summer School on Gravitational Waves, June 29 to July 4, 2026, Nice The school will cover the emerging field of gravitational wave detection and of its scientific exploitation. Following their discovery by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, many other gravitational wave detections are expected at the existing and future gravitational antennas. They will open up a new window of exploration, sometimes unique and sometimes complementary to what other messengers such as electromagnetic radiation (radio, IR, visible, UV, X-rays, gamma rays) and neutrinos can reveal of the physics at work in our Universe. The objective of the school is to provide the students with a solid introduction to most aspects of…

The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Nucleosynthesis in Neutron-Star Mergers and Supernovae, September 21-25 2026 in Trento
The Interplay of Magnetic Fields, Nuclear Physics, and Nucleosynthesis in Neutron-Star Mergers and Supernovae, September 21-25 2026 in Trento ECT*-EMMI/GSI workshop . Neutron-star mergers and core-collapse supernovae are among the most promising sites for the synthesis of heavy elements in the universe. These astrophysical phenomena bring together a rich interplay of general relativity, neutrino physics, nuclear reactions, and magneto-hydrodynamics. Among these factors, magnetic fields are increasingly recognized as playing a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics and nucleosynthetic outcomes of these events. Workshop Website
