The Extreme Gravity of Astrophysical Compact Objects - NewFunFiCO workshop 2026
Top Floor
Physikalischer Verein
The Extreme Gravity of Astrophysical Compact Objects is a workshop organised by the NewFunFiCO node in Frankfurt am Main.
The workshop will bring together experts on various research aspects involving the astrophysics of Compact Objects, from black holes and neutron stars to exotic configurations like gravastars and boson stars, and adopting different approaches from fundamentally theoretical, to phenomenological and numerical simulations.
In June, many of the members of the NewFunFiCO network will converge in Frankfurt and have the opportunity to present their research and establish new collaborations.
The workshop is particularly useful for Master and PhD researchers, with lectures and talks that will provide state of the art knowledge on Relativistic Astrophysics, Strong Gravity, Numerical Relativity, Gravitational Wave Astronomy, and Numerical methods.

The workshop will take place at the top floor of the Physikalischer Verein building [see map], a historical place for physics: in 1922 Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach realised the important Stern-Gerlach experiment, proving the quantization of the intrinsic angular momentum as predicted by the then-newborn quantum mechanics.
