The field of relativistic astrophysics is rapidly becoming one of the strongest area of scientific development due to the fortunate interaction of a vast number of observational facilities in space, on the ground and underground, and a very powerful theoretical framework based on General Relativity and relativistic quantum fields theories. While the observational and experimental activities in this area have been the result of a pull of successful international collaborations, paradoxically no comparable effort has been done in promoting coordinated actions in the theoretical field. In 1995 the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics (ICRA) has promoted the creation of an international Network of centers operating in the field of astrophysics (ICRANet) with the main task of collaborating in the very fast developing domain of research of theoretical relativistic astrophysics. Some of the leading institutions in North America, in Europe and in Austral-Asia are collaborating in the ICRANet which has his coordinating center in the town of Pescara Italy. As a byproduct of this activity, a dedicated PhD program has been created by the ICRANet aimed at forming a restricted and highly qualified number of PhD students able to approach research in this novel field of research. The Universities and Research Centers participating in this program, the International Relativistic Astrophysics Program of Ph.D. or for short the IRAP pH, are: the ETH Zurich, the Free University of Berlin, the Observatoire de la Cote d’Azur, the University of Nice- Sophie Antipolis, the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the University of Savoy,.

The Ph.D. degree will be granted by the five rectors of the participating Institutions. Each IRAP PhD cycle last three years and its based in a Host Institution selected among the ones participating in the program. The IRAP PhD courses and scientific activities will take into due account that research in the field of relativistic astrophysics encompass the knowledge of a very broad number of scientific areas ranging from the mathematical and geometrical structures of space-time, the relativistic field theories of fundamental interactions both at a classical and a quantum level and their verifications, as well as the knowledge of astronomical and astrophysical observational techniques and their associated phenomenological theoretical models. This new style of research is by its own nature interdisciplinary and international. In order to optimize the teaching, the students will follow their courses organized by the faculty in all five participating Institutions. The Statute of the IRAP PhD. can be found on www.icra.it/IRAPPhD

Invitation for Applicants 2007

The field of relativistic astrophysics has become one of the fastest pro-gressing fields in science. This is due to the coordinated teraction of a vast number of in-ternational projects of observations and experimental facilities in space, on the ground, under-ground, in the polar ice caps, and in the deep oceans. The fortunate circumstance occurs in these years of a considerable support to this endeavor by a powerful theoreti-cal framework based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity and rel-ativistic quantum field theories. Many international collaborations have been dedicated to the de-velopment of new experimental and observational facilities. Since 1995, the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics in Rome (ICRA) initiated an International Network of Centers in the field of Relativistic Astrophysics (ICRANet) dedicated to foster international collaboration in the theoretical field of Relativistic Astrophysics. Since 2005 ICRANet has acquired the status of International Organi-zation with a coordinating Center in Pescara (Italy). ICRANet com-bines the research powers of lead-ing institutions in the Americas, Asia and Europe. Prof. Remo Ruffi-ni is the ICRANet Director, Prof. Fang Li Zhi President of the Board and Prof. Riccardo Giacconi Chair-men of the Scientific Committee.

Research Activities

In the first part of this period Vincenzo Liccardo studied the features of the X-ray facility of Ferrara (LARIX) and its

properties, giving attention to the production of X-rays and to the properties of the X-ray tubes. He studied the principle of the Laue diffraction in transmission configuration and the

properties and performances of the detectors to be used for our goals.

Moreover, he focused on the scientific case related to the

study of X-rays coming from compact astrophysical sources, in particular their temporal and spectral signals, and the

astrophysical mechanisms of X-rays emission processes.

Work in Progress

First he will contribute to the assembly of a new prototype of focusing Laue lens, made of 20 crystals and 6 m focal length, using a new tecnological procedure with respect to past builtexperiments in the same facility. The results will be presented next August at the SPIE conference.

Research Activities

A self-consistent theory of neutron stars including Fermi-Dirac statistics, weak, strong as well as electromagnetic interactions in the framework of general relativity is formulated. The properties of neutron star equilibrium configurations are calculated and the consequence of the inclusion of the electromagnetic interactions on the process of gravitational collapse to a black hole is studied in detail.

Work in Progress

The observation of the late X-ray emission of the Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) associated to Supernova explosions within the so-called GRB-Supernova connection problem has evidenced the possibility of witnessing the thermal evolution of neo-neutron stars: neo-neutron stars just formed in the Supernova event with expected very large temperatures of tens of billion degrees. Therefore, we are exploring the effects of very large temperatures on the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities important for neutron stars as well as on the

Then, by means of theoretical models and applying all the knowledge of physics I have, I try to explain the observed behavior and arrive to any conclusion.

There are currently many models which are the leading ones and most of the scientists use for their research work, but at the same time there are many controversies about which is the one to use.

Work in Progress

The main objective of my work is to reach their complete understanding so that I can make my own way through this field, taking the best part of each one and merging them in a single improved approach.

While at energies below 70/100 keV, the technology for building focusing optics (based on multilayers) is already mature (a NASA mission, NUSTAR, is scheduled to be launched in one year time, while a JAXA mission with fosusing optics up to 70 keV is in progress), focusing optics at higher energies are still lacking

Being assigned to the Office of International Projects Erasmus Mundus, Mr Emmanuel Losero deals with the "EMJD International Relativistic Astrophysics" in taking care of orders, mission’s orders and refunds or bills payment as well as verifying that the students are paid every month and by maintaining the budget. This project is under the supervision of the Faculty of Science directed by the Professor Vidal.

At the accounting office, Mrs. Julie Coquin is responsible for collecting EACEA revenue in order to place the dates of opening and closing of the agreement. She manages the "project builder", that is to say that she organizes the credits in 2 parts: one part “operating costs” and one “payroll” in accordance with the convention established by the EACEA.

She also establishes thresholds limiting expenditures and the financial center where the credits are.

On the other hand, Emmanuel Losero closely works with the Finance department of the

Faculty of Sciences, led by Mrs. Annie Vidal, through Mrs. Cathy Siveri who checks the

expenses, then Mrs. Veronica Gallo from accounting agency makes payments.

Finally, Julien Chabert saves providers records on the software “SIFAC” so that banking

informations could be stored in the database.

The Accounting office also performs the grants’ payment.

Pina Barbaro is in close contact with the students for Bank account, Social security problem, booking rooms in Nice
