Decoding Supernova Remnants
Abigail Polin
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

I will discuss a new method for analyzing the morphology of supernova remnants (SNRs) by using power specula analysis to diagnose the drivers responsible for structure at different angular scales. Using a suite of hydrodynamic models of the Rayleigh...

Micromirror confinement of sub-TeV cosmic rays in galaxy clusters
Patrick Reichherzer
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Recent observations reveal that cosmic rays (CRs) are more tightly confined in various astrophysical systems (e.g. radio bubbles) than current theories predict. I show that microscale magnetic fluctuations, particularly from the mirror instability...
