Program

The workshop covered topics related to relativistic plasmas (plasma in curved space time) and the non linear interaction of plasmas with gravitational waves. The relativistic plasmas appear around black holes, neutron stars, AGNs and the early universe. Collisions between compact objects (Black Holes or Neutron Stars) and normal stars are the likely sources of GW. Interaction of GW with the relativistic plasma remains a challenging theoretical problem.
