\"Ondas<\/a><\/p>\n

100 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de los enunciados del genio alem\u00e1n, Albert Einstein, nadie hab\u00eda logrado observar las Ondas Gravitacionales:<\/em> ondulaciones del espacio-tiempo producidas por acontecimientos muy violentos, como la explosi\u00f3n de una estrella nueva gigante, supernova, o la fusi\u00f3n de dos agujeros negros. Einstein muri\u00f3 pensando que estas ondas jam\u00e1s ser\u00edan detectables.<\/p>\n

Los padres del descubrimiento: David Reitze y Alicia Sintes hicieron una declaraci\u00f3n de trascendencia hist\u00f3rica ante la prensa internacional: \u00abHemos detectado ondas gravitacionales. \u00a1Por fin lo conseguimos!\u00bb. Igualmente, sentenciaron que, Hasta ahora hemos estado sordos ante el Universo. Hoy, somos capaces de o\u00edr las ondas gravitacionales por primera vez. Esto marca el inicio de la Era de la Astronom\u00eda Gravitacional. Incluso el gran experto en agujeros negros, Stephen Hawking quiso sumarse a estas entusiastas reacciones. Se trata, por tanto, de uno de los mayores hallazgos de las \u00faltimas d\u00e9cadas. Ning\u00fan otro hito tecnol\u00f3gico en d\u00e9cadas -salvo quiz\u00e1 el del Bos\u00f3n de Higgs en 2012- hab\u00eda suscitado tanta expectaci\u00f3n como \u00e9ste, pues tal descubrimiento supone un cambio de paradigma, una nueva forma de concebir el universo de manera diferente a la que hab\u00edamos heredado de Galileo.<\/p>\n

La doctora en F\u00edsica Alicia Sintes<\/strong> (Mah\u00f3n, 1969) es la investigadora que lidera la participaci\u00f3n del Grupo de Relatividad y Gravitaci\u00f3n (GRG) de la Universidad de las Islas Baleares en la colaboraci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica internacional LIGO, en el marco de la cual se hizo la primera detecci\u00f3n de las ondas gravitacionales el 14 de setiembre de 2015. El GRG es el \u00fanico grupo de investigaci\u00f3n en Espa\u00f1a que particip\u00f3 en este hito. Profesora titular en el \u00e1rea de F\u00edsica Te\u00f3rica, su investigaci\u00f3n se desarrolla en el campo de la astronom\u00eda de las ondas gravitacionales.<\/p>\n

Es experta en la puesta a punto de detectores interferom\u00e9tricos y en el estudio y la investigaci\u00f3n de estrellas de neutrones y sistemas binarios de los agujeros negros. Ha realizado estancias en Estados Unidos, Canad\u00e1, Reino Unido, Alemania, Austria, Italia y Portugal, y colabora cient\u00edficamente con LIGO y GEO; ha participado como colaboradora en la misi\u00f3n espacial LISA y en el dise\u00f1o de futuros detectores tipo Einstein Telescope. Ha sido asesora cient\u00edfica de la Agencia Espacial Europea y miembro del grupo G8 de la Red de Infraestructuras de Astronom\u00eda en el per\u00edodo 2007-2010.<\/p>\n

Alicia Sintes<\/strong> estar\u00e1 acompa\u00f1ada de Thomas Hertog<\/strong>\u00a0(Leuven, 1975) profesor de F\u00edsica Te\u00f3rica de la Universidad de Lovaina, reconocido cosm\u00f3logo y estrecho colaborador de Stephen Hawking.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Te esperamos el 13 de junio en nuestro centro, Instituto Cervantes. Luizalaan 140 Avenue Louise.\u00a01050 Bruselas!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ondas\"<\/a>Einstein\u2019s old dream was confirmed in 2016 by more than a thousand scientists from fifteen different countries participating in the Advanced LIGO Program, and among them, the Spanish scientist Alicia Sintes (Mah\u00f3n, 1969), the group leader on Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of the Balearic Islands, she joined the GRG group as associate professor in 2002, and initiated the group’s participation in the GEO and LIGO Scientific Collaborations.\u00a0Since 2002 she has been the PI for the group’s participation within the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and a member of the LIGO-LSC council. Furthermore Sintes was member of the G8 group of the \u201cRed de infraestructuras de Astronom\u00eda\u201d (2007-2009), member of the \u201cRed de Interlocutores Universitarios\u201d for the EU 7FP, Space & Security group, Servicio Europa I+D -CRUE in 2006. Sintes has extensive experience in developing code for the LIGO Algorithms library software infrastructure, developing and running actual searches, and has pioneered parameter estimation studies for the space mission LISA. Alicia Sintes and her team are leading quick look searches for unknown isolated pulsars and spinning neutron stars in the data from Advanced LIGO detectors.The detection of these gravitational waves will allow us to expand our knowledge of some of the most rare and violent phenomena of the cosmos, such as black hole collisions, supernova explosions, gamma rays or the Big Bang itself. We will be able to know what happened when the universe was created.\u00a0Do not miss this opportunity to hear the main scholar on the Relativity and Gravitational Group from the Universitat de les Illes Balears, and the only Spanish member of the Advanced LIGO Program. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alicia Sintes<\/strong> will be accompanied by Thomas Hertog (Leuven, 1975). He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Leuven, Belgium, and his doctorate from the University of Cambridge. He joined the University of California as a research fellow in 2002 and became a fellow at CERN, Geneva, in 2005. He returned to Belgium in 2011 where he is currently Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Leuven.<\/span>
\nThomas Hertog<\/strong> is an internationally renowned cosmologist and a close collaborator of Stephen Hawking. He leads a research team that investigates how string theory applies to the real universe, hereby elucidating the physical nature of the big bang. He has lectured at both a general and a technical level in more than 25 countries, and his research has featured in distinguished media channels on numerous occasions. He lives with his wife and their four children in Bousval, Belgium.<\/span>
\nThe talk will be in English.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With the collaboration<\/strong> of CEBE\/SSBE<\/strong> (Cient\u00edficos Espa\u00f1oles en B\u00e9lgica\/Spanish Scientists in Belgium).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
