IAS CMP/QFT Group Meeting

Effective Field Theory in Quantum Matter: From Fermi Liquids to Quantum Hall Physics
Yi-Hsien Du
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will discuss effective field theory approaches to quantum matter, focusing on Fermi liquids and quantum Hall systems. For Fermi liquids, low-energy fluctuations can be organized by area-preserving deformations in phase space, leading to...

Princeton University Extrasolar Planet Discussion Group

Dynamical Origins of the Galaxy’s Strangest Planetary Systems
Tiger Lu
12:00pm|Zoom and Green Hall 1-N-5, Princeton University

Planets are expected to form in well-behaved consistent configurations much like our own Solar System. Over the past three decades, this picture has been thrown into serious tension as a myriad of bizarre planetary systems have been discovered. In...

Princeton University LFTP Seminar

Towards Nonlinear Black Hole Spectroscopy
Jaime Redondo Yuste
12:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, LFPT Space

Abstract: Black Hole spectroscopy tests the nature of compact objects and General Relativity by measuring the gravitational waves emitted in the last stage of a black hole merger: the ringdown. As detectors improve, we will become sensitive to both...

Princeton University SFIR: Star Formation/ISM Rendezvous

Dusty and Over-Pressured: Connecting Stellar Feedback from Normal Galaxies to Extreme Starbursts
Debosmita Pathak
3:00pm|Peyton Hall, Dome Room/1-N-5

Abstract: The balance between stellar feedback (including radiation, warm gas, stellar winds), local ISM conditions, and self-gravity of star-forming regions sets the rate at which nebular regions grow and molecular clouds are disrupted. Using multi...

Institute for Advanced Study / Princeton University Joint Astrophysics Colloquium

The Radiation (Magneto-)Hydrodyamics of Tidal Disruption Events
Shane Davis
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Transient surveys and follow up efforts are providing a wealth of new data on the variety of ways in which tidal disruption events manifest across the electromagnetic spectrum. Understanding these light curves and spectra are key to using these...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Seminar

The Search for Other Earths
Megan Bedell
11:00am|Serin Hall Rm 330W, Rutgers and Zoom

The discovery of a true Earth twin (an Earth-mass planet orbiting a Sun-like star within the habitable zone) has been a long-standing goal in the field of exoplanets, and advances in observational technology over the past decades have been moving us...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Informal Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This year we will hold a *very informal* get-together every Tuesday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, meet up around 12.20 pm to grab lunch in the dining...
