Physics of the Cosmos Gravitational-Wave Study Report
The NASA Physics of the Cosmos (PCOS) Program Office just announced the public release of the final reports of both the Gravitational Wave and X-ray mission architecture studies. The two reports are available for download at the PCOS website. The Gravitational Wave architecture study is basically the U.S. equivalent of the European eLISA/NGO study.

Sevent Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting in Oxford - first announcement
The Gravitation, Astrophysics, and Theoretical Physics group at the University of Mississippi will host the Seventh Gulf Coast Gravity Meeting (GCGM7) on April 19-20, 2013. The GCGM is a regional meeting that brings together researchers in all areas of gravitational physics from the south-east region of the United States. The past two editions were at Louisiana State University (GCGM5, 2009) and Florida Atlantic University (GCGM6, 2011). This is the second GCGM organized by Ole Miss (the first one was GCGM4, 2008).
The workshop is meant to be informal and student presentations are welcome. There will be no registration fee. To register, simply send an email with your name and affiliation to the following address:
gcgm7 [at] phy [dot] olemiss [dot] edu
We don’t have travel funding at the moment, but we are looking for ways to support students and postdocs. Please say explicitly in your email if you are a student or postdoc and if you would like to have travel support in case it becomes available. The email address listed above can be used for all inquiries related to the conference. More information is available on the conference webpage.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Oxford next Spring!
