[Everyone] EAS 2024 - Symposium S2 "Lighthouses on the Universe: astrophysics and cosmology with PTAs"

[Possenti, Andrea]

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive this message more than once, and also sorry for
the imminent deadline.

We would like to draw your attention to the EAS Symposium S2: "*Lighthouses
on the Universe: astrophysics and cosmology with Pulsar Timing Arrays*" to
be held at the EAS to be held on the
*1 & 2 July 2024 at the EAS annual meeting in Padova.*
Symposium page:  https://eas.unige.ch/EAS_meeting/session.jsp?id=S2

The symposium will cover the following themes:

1. Results on the evidence for a GW background from the major PTA
collaborations and upcoming constraints from the International Pulsar
Timing Array collaboration
2. Astrophysical implications of the GW background on the astrophysics of
supermassive black hole binaries and galaxy formation models
3. Individual source and multimessenger aspects, part I. Targeted searches
and synergies with electromagnetic facilities
4. Individual source and multimessenger aspects, part II. Connection with
dual AGNs and electromagnetic counterparts modelling
5. New physics with PTAs: alternative interpretations to the binary origin
of the GW background (dark matter, pre-CMB and inflation signatures) and
their implications
6. The future of PTA detections: from novel detection techniques (with SKA,
gamma ray facilities, Gaia, Roman) to multi-band GW observations with LISA

We are preparing an exciting program with a mix of invited and contributed
talks, and we encourage you to submit an abstract to the symposium. *The
deadline for abstract submission is 4th March 2024*. Apologies for the
short notice. We hope to see you in Padova!
