With dedicated exoplanet surveys underway for multiple extreme
precision radial velocity (EPRV) instruments, such as the Terra
Hunting Experiment on HARPS-3, the near-future prospects of RV
exoplanet science are promising. These surveys' generous...
The standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) has been
regarded as the most promising instability responsible for the
turbulence required to explain the fast accretion observed across
the Universe. However, unlike other fundamental plasma...
Galaxy formation in the first billion years mark a time of great
upheaval in our cosmic history: the first sources of light in the
Universe, these galaxies ended the 'cosmic dark ages' and produced
the first...
Abstract: I will recall steps taken here
at Princeton that led from the schematic physics of the cosmology I
encountered in the mid-1960s to the present well-tested LCDM
theory, and offer some lessons from the past on the future of
research in...
The physics of a magnetically confined, radiation pressure
supported column of plasma plays a defining role in understanding
the observations of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars, including
pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Near the...
