Studying turbulence is an integral component of understanding
plasma behavior from fusion devices to interstellar space. While
much work has been done studying turbulence in laboratory fusion
settings, less has been attempted in the laboratory for...
Abstract 1: I will discuss gravitational waves (GWs)
induced by a heavy spectator field that starts to oscillate during
inflation. During the oscillation of the spectator field, its
effective mass can also oscillate in some potentials. This
mass...
The meeting will be a hybrid presentation of in person, for
Princeton University affiliates
(net ID holders) and Invited Speakers,
and a Zoom presentation for all NON PU affiliates.

There has been exciting recent progress in the study of the
quantum nature of black holes through the use of certain exactly
solvable models. This work shows how to realize, in concrete terms,
various long-held...
The chemistry of gas and stars in galaxies connects many
seemingly disparate areas of astrophysics, from planet formation
and stellar evolution to the enrichment and physical state of the
circumgalactic and intergalactic media. Because heavy...
Close binaries are the origin of many extraordinary events in
the Universe, including type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave
events. On the other extreme, wide binaries are easily disrupted by
gravitational perturbations, making them a unique...
The UCLA Galactic Center Group has opened up a new approach to
studying black holes and the physics of the extreme. By
advancing state-of-the-art high-resolution imaging technology on
the world’s largest telescopes, we have greatly expanded the...

Cosmologists are proud of the standard cosmological model that
has been developed to account for a wealth of disparate features of
the Universe. The model requires, though, that we postulate the
existence of some collisionless dark matter and also...
