IAS Special High Energy Theory Seminar

Magnetic Quivers and Phase Diagrams
Amihay Hanany
2:00pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: Higgs branches in theories with 8 supercharges change as one tunes the gauge coupling to critical values.

This talk will focus on six dimensional (0,1) supersymmetric theories in studying the different phenomena associated with such a...

Princeton Center for Heliophysics Seminar

Regimes of Stratified Turbulence at Low Prandtl Number
Pascale Garaud, UC Santa Cruz
2:00pm|Virtual Meeting

Stellar fluids have a low Prandtl number, which distinguishes them from geophysical fluids by allowing for the existence of turbulence regimes that are diffusive yet non viscous. In this talk I will present recent results demonstrating the existence...

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...

Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

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...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Segmentation of Current Sheets in Magnetized Plasma Turbulence with Computer Vision
Trung Ha (University of North Texas)
12:00pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Computer vision and machine learning tools offer an exciting new way to automate analyzing and categorizing information from complex computer simulations. In my talk, I will discuss our current efforts in designing new computer vision tools for the...
