ROME
The Rome group consists of two faculty members (Valeria Ferrari and Omar Benhar), two postdocs (José Pons and Leonardo Gualtieri) and three Ph. D. students (Emanuele Berti, Giovanni Miniutti and Alessandro Nagar). Omar Benhar is involved, as a nuclear physicist, in the study of the dependence of the gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars on the high-density equation of state (EOS). José Pons is the EU funded postdoc who has joined the Rome group since March. Previously he has been working in issues related to formation of neutron stars, physics of neutron star interiors and relativistic hydrodynamics. Now he is actively cooperating with the other members of the group in developing codes to describe stellar perturbations and gravitational wave emission. Leonardo Gualtieri is an INFN postdoc. He has been working with us since his Laurea thesis on stellar perturbations, and during his Ph. D. he has also gained some expertise on string theory. He is now involved in the study of perturbations of rotating stars. Emanuele Berti is about to complete his Ph. D. and will join the Thessaloniki group in November as an EU postdoc. His Laurea thesis was concerned with the dependence of stellar quasi-normal modes on the equation of state. Then he studied the excitation of g-modes in Newtonian stars, and his Ph. D. thesis concerns the study of neutron-star binaries in a perturbative approach. Giovanni Miniutti has been working on black hole exact solutions in the 3+1 formalism and black hole perturbations. He is now involved in the study of the g-modes in white dwarfs and neutron stars. He will finish his Ph. D. in October 2002. Alessandro Nagar, a Ph. D. student in Parma, is working with us on the perturbations of a collapsing fluid.
The main results obtained by the group in the first year of activity of the network and prospects for the next year are:
