Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

Finding the most distant galaxies in the universe with JWST
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened a new window into the early universe, enabling sensitive, high-resolution images of the near-infrared sky and spectroscopy of faint, distant sources. The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) is...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Probing Inflation from Antarctica: Improving Cosmology Constraints with the Cosmic Microwave Background and Line Intensity Mapping
Jessica Avva Zebrowski
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Inflation, the theory describing a period of exponential superluminal expansion in the early universe, is both a proposed solution to the large-scale structure we see in our night sky and a mystery of which we have little experimental...

IAS Physics Group Meeting

Tidal Effects of Compact Objects from Theory to Observation
Zihan Zhou
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Tidal deformabilities serve as an effective tool to study the structures of compact objects. In the first part of the talk, I will present how the worldline effective field theory (EFT) can be applied to examine the tidal responses of...

The Growing Legacy of JWST for Extragalactic Science
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

The launch of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proven to be a defining moment for this generation of astronomers. Like its revolutionary predecessor Hubble Space Telescope, JWST has been artfully used by astronomers worldwide to build a...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Testing Galaxy Formation Models with Large-scale Surveys of the Milky Way Stellar Halo
Emily Cunningham
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

While the vast majority of the light from our galaxy comes from the Galactic disk, the vast majority of the mass of the Milky Way (MW) is in its dark matter halo. Because we cannot directly observe the MW's dark matter halo, we must use luminous...

What is...?

What are rational and Du Bois singularities?
Wanchun Shen
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

We give a gentle introduction to rational and Du Bois singularities in algebraic geometry. Through examples, we will see how birational geometry comes into play with the theory of differential operators. Time permitting, we discuss the sheaf...
