Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Bubbles of AdS as Black Hole Mimickers
Suvendu Giri
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will present a case for the striking resemblance between bubbles of anti-de Sitter (AdS) within Minkowski spacetime and black holes. These solutions of Einstein’s equations are motivated by high-energy physics and lack horizons. We will...

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...

JWST: First Results on the Distant Universe in Context
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

For roughly three decades, astronomers anticipated that the launch of JWST would portend new discoveries and the potential upending of long-held notions for early galaxy formation. JWST did not disappoint! Within weeks of the start of science...
