Research

We mostly work on data analysis and theoretical developments related to astrophysics, cosmology and gravitation. The research topics range from theoretical to observational aspects of Astrophysics, Cosmology and Gravitation. See this automatic list of publications and the books section.
Astronomical surveys: Cosmo-ufes participates in large-scale collaborations such as ET, LIGO, Virgo, J-PAS, Euclid, LSST, Pierre Auger Observatory, SWGO and CTA.

Research grants: Besides by UFES, the Center's research and outreach activities are funded by the Brazilian research agencies CAPES, CNPq and FAPES. For some specific events, we also receive support from private companies.

Scientific meetings

Mailing list
We organize, co-organize and participate on several national and international meetings on our research areas. We organize at least one meeting per year, commonly more than two. The main recurrent events are:
  • Verão Quântico ("Quantum Summer"). An international meeting held once in two years, during the summer, and with a broad spectrum within theoretical physics and astrophysics.
  • José Plínio Baptista School of Cosmology ("JPBCosmo").  It is held once in two years and brings a few foreigner experts on the fields of cosmology and astrophysics to present minicourses. It is specially devoted for PhD students.
  • Inverno Astrofísico ("Astrophysical Winter") -- It is a national meeting that happens every year during winter and it is focused on undergraduate students.
See also the Events webpage.

Advising, teaching and the new Phd program

PPGCosmo
The professors from Cosmo-ufes give classes and advise undergraduate and graduate students at UFES. Our expertise on research is  valuable for the students, which have direct contact with current and international level scientific research topics.
PPGCosmo. Cosmo-ufes members are among the founders of the new PPGCosmo program, a PhD program on astrophysics, cosmology and gravitation that gathers several Brazilian and foreigner institutes and which is based at UFES. The current PPGCosmo coordinator is Prof. Valerio Marra.

Outreach

There are several outreach activities either organized by Cosmo-ufes or with the participation of Cosmo-ufes members. The main organized are:
  • Universo no Parque
  • Universo no Parque online
  • Universo nas escolas
  • Mostra Estadual de Astronomia 
  • Cadernos de Astronomia

About

Cosmo-ufes was founded as a Center in 2017 and integrates professors from different groups from UFES. Before its foundation as a Center, it worked as a research group since 2012, by the same time the website cosmo-ufes.org started. This research group was based on the Gravitation and Cosmology  group of UFES, which was founded by Prof. José Plinio Batista and Prof. Antônio Brasil Baptista in  1975.
