Princeton University Thunch Talk

Unveiling the Multiphase, Clumpy Structure of the Circumgalactic Medium of High-z Galaxies
Zhuhai Li
12:15pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

In this talk, I will present our recent progress on constraining the physical properties of the ''cool'' (T ~ 104K) phase of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) via modeling Lya emission and low-ionization-state (LIS) metal absorption lines. We developed...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Seminar

Using Supernovae to Study their Massive Star Progenitors
Azalee Kyra Bostroem
2:00pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

Although massive stars have a profound influence on the Universe at every scale, from the evolution of galaxies to the formation of the elements necessary for life, the answers to key questions about their mass loss and explodability are unknown...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Neural signal propagation atlas of C. elegans
Andy Leifer
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Both physics and neuroscience seek to understand how the edges and nodes of a network dictate its function. But until recently, it was not possible to quantitatively explore the relation between the structure and function of a biological...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Integral Points On The Clebsch-Klein Surfaces
Rafael von Känel
4:30pm|Fine Hall 214, Princeton University

In this talk we present explicit bounds for the Weil height and the number of integral points on classical surfaces first studied by Clebsch (1871) and Klein (1873). Building on Hirzebruch's work in which he related these surfaces to a Hilbert...

IAS High Energy Theory Seminar

The Dark-Matter Problem of the Moduli Space of Curves and its (partial) Tropical Solution
Michael Borinsky
11:00am|Wolfensohn Hall & Zoom

Abstract: The moduli space of curves, M_g, is an object of pivotal interest in mathematics and theoretical physics. Even though it has been studied with tremendous effort, little is known about its topology. For instance, the total dimension of the...
