3rd TVLBAI Workshop, August 20-22, 2025 in Hannover

The 3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions and
communities, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards Funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.

In this third iteration of the TVLBAI workshop, we are gathering in Hannover,
providing an opportunity to visit the newly established and now operational 10m
VLBAI facility. In addition to the VLBAI visits, we are offering lab tours within the
Institute of Quantum Optics and the Einstein Elevator.

Building on the success of the last two editions, this workshop will cultivate a
strong sense of community among participants. It will help to establish a
supportive network of experts and enthusiasts ready to advance the field of atom
interferometry from all over the world.

SN2025gw: First IGWN Symposium on Core Collapse Supernova Gravitational Wave Theory and Detection, July 21-25 2025, Warsaw

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration invites the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) astronomy and astrophysics community for a 5-day Symposium on July 21–25, 2025, at the University of Warsaw, Poland. CCSNe are among the most violent explosions known to occur in the Universe, and the next Galactic or near-extra-Galactic exploding massive star will be one of the most interesting, and most important, astronomical events of the century. This Symposium aims to bring CCSN experts together to address how to maximize the scientific potential of the first detection of core collapse supernova gravitational waves (GWs). The Symposium hopes to bring together GW astronomers and CCSN modelers, as well as neutrino and nuclear theorists, neutrino astronomers, and astronomers across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The sensitivity of GW detectors and progress on CCSN modeling are unprecedented, and we expect them to further advance in the coming years. A joint effort across communities has great potential to fully utilize these advances for CCSN GW discovery. Each day, we will host (before lunch) a set of lectures on one of the key topics listed below, to establish a common understanding and a common language. Moreover, each day (after lunch) will also include invited and contributed talks, as well as discussion. The focus topics of the Symposium are:

Day 1: CCSN Theory
Day 2: CCSN Gravitational Wave Detection and Parameter Estimation
Day 3: CCSN Neutrino Detection
Day 4: CCSNe across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Day 5: CCSNe over the Next Ten Years

The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a special issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity. We hope the proceedings will serve as a reference for students, postdocs, and faculty in, or entering, the field, serve to capture the current state of core collapse supernova gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics, outline lessons learned, and provide recommendations for future development.

Everyone who wishes to advance the field of CCSN GW science is welcome!

First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves: 10 years since first detection, September 15–19, 2025 Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE)

A decade ago, science witnessed an extraordinary milestone: the first direct detection of gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity in 1915. These ripples in spacetime, generated by extreme cosmic events such as black hole mergers, remained merely a theoretical prediction until September 14, 2015, when the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experiment captured this historic signal.

This achievement revolutionized astrophysics and earned the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish, and Kip S. Thorne, recognizing their essential contributions to the design and implementation of LIGO, as well as the data analysis that confirmed the phenomenon.

The First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves celebrates this milestone by bringing together researchers from across Latin America to discuss advancements in detection, theory, and instrumentation in the field of gravitational waves. Moreover, the event serves as a unique opportunity to unify and strengthen the Latin American scientific community, fostering institutional partnerships and collaborations that solidify the region’s presence in this cutting-edge field of science.

With a comprehensive program, the conference will feature lectures by renowned experts, technical sessions, discussion panels, and presentations of recent research. The primary goal is to foster the growth of the Latin American scientific community and encourage international cooperation, promoting regional leadership in a field that shapes our understanding of the universe.

33rd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics,December 8-12 2025 in Tempe

The 33rd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will take place in the vibrant city of Tempe, AZ, from December 8 – 12, 2025. The event will be hosted at The Omni Hotel, very near Arizona State University, which offers state-of-the-art facilities to ensure a productive and enjoyable meeting.

We are thrilled to announce that John Mather, Jim Peebles, Adam Riess, George Smoot (TBC), and Frank Wilczek have already agreed to participate and attend the symposium.

Beyond the symposium, Tempe in December offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventures and festive activities, making it an ideal winter getaway. The mild temperatures invite visitors to explore the scenic beauty of Tempe Town Lake, hike the iconic Hayden Butte, or stroll through the Desert Botanical Garden. You can also experience the Tempe Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade, a dazzling display of holiday lights along the lake. The city hosts various seasonal events, including holiday markets, outdoor concerts, and ice skating rinks, offering attendees a chance to enjoy the warm desert climate while celebrating the holiday season.

The symposium will cover all major topics on high-energy and particle astrophysics, cosmology, and relativity. It will include morning plenary sessions and afternoon parallel sessions, which will function as mini-symposia in each sub-field. The plenary sessions will consist of ~45-minute review talks. The afternoon sessions will feature oral talks (about 15-30 minutes) and poster contributions. Registration will open in early May.

We look forward to welcoming hundreds of international astronomers and physicists to Arizona in December 2025!
