Reminder - call for abstracts: Foundational Challenges in Cosmological Studies of Black Holes (deadline: 31st March)
Dear all,
Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for submissions of abstracts for this workshop is in a week from now, on 31st March.
Foundational Challenges in Cosmological Studies of Black Holes
14th May 2024
University of Bonn
With the emergence of new observational windows, black holes are increasingly used in constraining cosmological theories. This workshop aims to address the major foundational and methodological challenges in cosmological studies of black holes: What are the methodological principles of these searches? What should we expect from future observations? How do long-standing research programs look from the new vantage points? What foundational lessons can be drawn from cosmological studies of new physics? The workshop will facilitate a multi-disciplinary perspective on the cosmological implications of black holes, by bringing together contributions from theoretical physics, astronomy, and the philosophy of physics.
List of speakers:
- Kristen Lackeos (Max-Planck-Institut fur Radioastronomie, Bonn)
- Antonia Frassino (University of Barcelona)
- Jamee Elder (Tufts University)
- Erik Curiel (University of Bonn, Harvard University?s Black Hole Initiative)
- Juliusz Doboszewski (University of Bonn, Harvard University?s Black Hole Initiative)
Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- primordial black holes as dark matter candidates
- epistemology of gravitational wave astrophysics
- model agnostic searches and notions of model independence
- philosophical issues in multi-messenger astronomy
- alternatives to black holes
- statistical wars in astrophysics and cosmology
- foundational issues in black hole physics
Call for Abstracts:
