Professor of IUT spoke at the 30th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics

The 30th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics was, held from December 15 to 20, 2019 in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. The symposium is one of the largest international conferences held every two years for astrophysicists and cosmologists. Meetings in Texas focused on topics such as black holes, gravitational waves, neutron stars, and cosmic radiation. The first symposium was, held in Dallas in 1963. The organizing committee invited our professor Dr. Atamurotov to participate in this symposium, and he presented his work entitled “Shadow of a rotating black hole”.
The study of the optical properties and the spatiotemporal structure of a black hole and the creation of new tests of the general theory of relativity and other gravity theories are currently one of the most important tasks of modern relativistic astrophysics. A theoretical study of the shadow of a black hole provides an important tool for constructing tests of gravity models and understanding the fundamental properties of gravity”,explained Professor Atamurotov.
Professor Dr. Atamuratov discussed cooperation with the director Professor David Bacon. We hope that IUT and Portsmouth University will cooperate in the future.
