The Bahcall Lunch follow the astrophysics colloquium
lecture. Registration is required by 3pm the previous
Friday so a meal can be provided. Please contact Amanda
Cenker with questions.
We recently detected an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH)
unambiguously for the first time, and measured its mass, distance
and velocity. We used HST to carry out precise astrometry of the
source star of the long-duration, high-magnification...
At the Center for Laboratory Astrophysics at the University of
Michigan, we specialize in laboratory experiments scaled to be
relevant to astrophysics. How do we design laboratory experiments
to answer questions about astrophysics? And what do we...
Abstract: The coalescence of compact
binaries and the gravitational waves produced in this process
provide an unique view into gravity in its dynamical, nonlinear
regime. Proeminent during a black-hole coalescence is the
plunge-merger stage, when...
Pulsars are rotating magnetic neutron stars which produce
powerful beams of coherent radio emission. They are also prolific
sources of broadband high-energy emission. In this talk I will
describe recent advances in modelling pulsar radio emission...
In this talk I will present a kinetically mixed dark sector
(KMIX) model aimed at simultaneously addressing the Hubble and
S8 tensions. Inspired from string theory, the model includes
two fields: an axion, which plays a role similar to the
scalar...
