Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

The Hough Stream Spotter: A new Method for Detecting Linear Structure in Resolved Stars and Application to the Stellar Halo of M31
Sarah Pearson
11:00am|Virtual Meeting

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 Fall Seminar Series

Imaging Supermassive Black Hole Accretion Flows: Magnetic Fields, Jets, and Inner Shadows
Andrew Chael
12:30pm|Jadwin, 4th floor or Zoom

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has produced images of both total intensity and polarized radiation from plasma around the supermassive black hole in M87 on event horizon scales.

In this talk, I will discuss what these images tell us about the...

Princeton University Astroplasmas Seminar

Black hole flares: ejection of accreted magnetic flux through 3D plasmoid-mediated reconnection
Bart Ripperda
12:30pm|Dome Room, Peyton Hall or Zoom

Magnetic reconnection can power bright and rapid flares originating from the inner magnetosphere of accreting black holes. We conduct extremely high resolution general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations, capturing plasmoid-mediated...
