Prof. Remo Ruffini Festschrift. A conference in celebration of Prof. Remo Ruffini 80° birthday
Director of ICRANet and President of ICRA, coauthor of more than 650 scientific publications and 13 books, Remo Ruffini received his doctorate at Sapienza (1967). He taught in Hamburg, Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, in Japan, in China (at USTC), in Australia and CBPF (Brazil). Some of his major results: boson stars, “Introducing the Black Hole” with J.A. Wheeler, the limiting critical mass of NS. He identified the first BH in our Galaxy (Cignus X-1) using UHURU satellite data with Riccardo Giacconi and received the Cressy Morrison Award (1973). Returning to Sapienza (1978), he promoted Rome-Stanford collaboration on gravitational wave detectors. With European, US and Chinese institutions he established ICRA and later ICRANet in Italy, Armenia, France and Brazil (2005). He developed the understanding of GRBs, confirmed by the largest telescopes on Earth and from space: from their discovery (1973) to their cosmological origin (1997) to the determination of seven different GRBs families and their conceptual understanding (2018).
He has given evidence for 7 episodes characterizing the most general GRB and identified, in the Christodoulou - Ruffini - Hawking Mass formula, the energy source of the most energetic GRBs, the BDHN I, based on the Wald - Papapetrou solution (2022). He is currently also active with his collaborators in identifying the nature of our galactic core in terms of Dark matter.
