East Surrey Gravity Research
Home
East Surrey Gravity Research (ESGR) is a compact institution that focuses on theoretical research in General Relativity (GR),
and in particular its application in Astrophysical contexts. While the current trends in GR are towards research involving
large-scale Global collaborations (e.g. the detection of Gravitational Waves), here at ESGR while we maintain some links to those collaborations, at the same time we focus
on more specific topics of interest.
About
ESGR is located in the Borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, UK. Founded by Prakash Sarnobat following his initial research in General Relativity, the goals of the institution are to vigorously pursue
high-quality research in GR, Astrophysics, and other related areas. In addition to research, we also regularly participate in high-profile networking events
e.g. BritGrav, SIGrav, ICRANet, ICGRG.
Projects
The core focus of ESGR is in investigating the structure and evolution of Compact Objects. A key feature which recurs throughout our work
is both perturbative (and sometimes non-perturbative) behavior of Stars and Black holes, occaisionally involving the emission of Gravitational Waves.
Multi-layer compact objects - it is well known that a single-layer compact object collapses to a Black Hole, but what about an object consisting of more than one layer?
