Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center Polish Academy of Sciences is a leading astronomical institute in Poland established in 1978.
The main subjects of research include:

  • Stellar astrophysics
  • Binary systems
  • Cosmic distance scale
  • Dense matter and neutron stars
  • Black holes
  • Accretion processes
  • Structure and evolution of active galaxies
  • Gravitational waves
  • Cosmology
  • Dark matter

Astronomers from the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center are involved in a number of major international observational projects such as H.E.S.S., CTA (observations of ultra high energy photons (TeV) via detection of Cherenkov radiation), Herschel (satellite observations in IR domain), SALT (Southern African Large Telescope), INTEGRAL, Fermi (satellite observations of gamma rays), LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (detection of gravitational waves). DarkSide collaboraton (Searching for Dark matter), the Araucaria Project (improving the calibration of the cosmic distance scale in the local universe) and Project SOLARIS (search for extrasolar planetary systems), financed in part by the European Research Council (Starting Independent Researcher Grant).

Important information:

  • The meeting will be in a hybrid format (both on-site and on the Zoom platform) and participation is free of charge.
  • The abstracts (poster and talk) should be sent to young.astro.meeting@camk.edu.pl by 1st of March, 2024.
  • Limited on-site participation slots and limited accommodations for participants who want to join in person from outside of Warsaw. Please register by the 1st of March for on-site participation.
  • The registration for Online participants is extended till the 5th of March.
  • Please send an email to young.astro.meeting@camk.edu.pl for the accommodation request.

      Growing Black Holes in Star Clusters 20m

      Since 2015, more than 80 merging black holes have been discovered through the direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. While these observations provide unprecedented insights into the demographics of black holes, they also raise important questions about the astrophysical origin and formation of these elusive binary systems. One of the formation channels for these observed gravitational wave sources are dynamical interactions in star clusters. A significant fraction of stars are born in clusters where they are closely packed together. In some of these clusters, the density of stars can be up to a million times higher than the density of stars in the solar neighbourhood. In this talk, I will briefly describe how star clusters evolve and how we can evolve them using state-of-the-art computer simulations. I will show how gravitational encounters in these dense stellar environments can be conducive to forming merging binary black holes. Massive and dense star clusters could also be potential sites for forming black holes with masses between ~ 100 to 10,000 times the mass of the Sun. I will also highlight different pathways by which these intermediate-mass black holes can form and grow in the densest star clusters.
