Purpose & background: The ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) will be seeking renewal in the coming Centre of Excellence round scheduled for expressions of interest in mid-late 2021.
Professor Tamara Davis will be overseeing the process in close consultation with the current OzGrav Director Professor Matthew Bailes and current Instrumentation and Data theme leaders Professors McClelland and Thrane respectively.
In its first four years OzGrav has been part of a remarkable transformation in relativistic astrophysics made possible by the discovery of gravitational waves. OzGrav “2.0” aims to capitalise on these tremendous advances whilst exploring new avenues of discovery consistent with the ARC’s oft-stated aims that Centre renewals should build upon their successes but not simply be more of the same.
This preliminary workshop is open to any interested parties and will focus on 1. Black holes and tests of general relativity; 2. Neutron stars; 3. Cosmology using detections of gravitational waves and Fast Radio Bursts; 4. Instrumentation; and 5. Wild card ideas!
Subsequent workshops will be restricted to potential CIs and PIs, and will be more focused on the specific ideas identified as most promising at the first workshop, and how they interrelate.
The format of the workshops will be a series of lightning talks with plenty of time for discussions and brainstorming. Due to COVID restrictions these are unlikely to be face to face although if travel and crowd restrictions ease we’d love to get together!
