Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remo Ruffini received his doctorate at Sapienza University of Rome, in 1967. Since then, he has become the director of ICRANet, the president of ICRA, and the coauthor of more than 650 scientific publications and 13 books. He has taught in Hamburg, at Princeton University, at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Japan, China (at USTC), Australia, and CBPF (Brazil). One of his major works concerned boson stars, named, “Introducing the Black Hole” with J.A. Wheeler, which focused on the limiting critical mass of NS. He identified the first black hole (BH) in our galaxy (Cignus X-1) using UHURU satellite data with Riccardo Giacconi and consequentially, he received the Cressy Morrison Award in 1973. He returned to Sapienza University in 1978, and he promoted a Rome–Stanford collaboration on the subject of gravitational wave detectors. Together with European, US, and Chinese institutions, he established ICRA and later ICRANet, in Italy, Armenia, France, and Brazil in 2005. He developed the understanding of GRBs, confirmed by the largest telescopes on Earth from their discovery in 1973, to their cosmological origin in 1997, and to the determination of seven different GRB families and their conceptual understanding in 2018.
This Special Issue will collect original and review papers written by distinguished scholars and dedicated to Remo Ruffini on the above mentioned topics.
The deadline for paper submission is April 30, 2023.
