Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Cosmological concordance from the early universe to the near field
Vera Gluscevic
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Details: Cosmological observables, from the Lyman-alpha forest to the Milky Way substructure, offer unique avenues for probing dark matter and neutrino sectors. Moreover, they often reveal anomalies and tensions that could signal new physics. I will...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

LEO VLBI Pathfinder: Capturing the first video of a black hole
Victoria Fawcett
12:00pm|Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Abstract: On April 10, 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope captured the world’s imagination with the first direct image of a black hole. LEO VLBI Pathfinder is a SmallSat mission led by Brown University which seeks to take the next leap: Capturing the...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Supernova Explosion Theory: The Emergence of Insight from Complexity
Adam Burrows
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: The theory of compact-object birth and core-collapse supernovae is now entering a new and productive phase of rapid insight into themechanism and systematics of explosion. The panoramic perspective provided by the recent access to tens of...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

How Many Digits Are There in the Telephone Numbers of Local Galaxies, and What Do They Mean?
Sandy Faber
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

What is an R7-Brane?
Jonathan Heckman
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: The Swampland Cobordism conjecture asserts that in quantum gravity, any spacetime can terminate, i.e., the cobordism group of quantum gravity is trivial. A striking consequence of this conjecture is that it predicts the existence of...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar

Black Hole Non-linear Stability: A Mathematical Overview
Elena Giorgi
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: In this talk, I will survey key geometric and analytic aspects of black hole perturbations, focusing on recent advances in understanding their dynamical stability, with a particular emphasis on the recent proof of the full nonlinear...
