Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration pulses of
cosmological origin that were discovered at West Virginia
University in 2007. They show amazing promise as probes of the
large-scale structure of the Universe and provide a new window into
the...
Galaxies have grown significantly in size since the early
Universe. While quiescent galaxies grow primarily through galaxy
mergers, star-forming galaxies grow by accreting gas from their
surroundings and forming new stars. Observations of star...
The Bahcall Lunch follows the astrophysics colloquium lecture.
Registration is required by 4pm the previous Thursday so a meal can
be provided. Email Amanda at cenker@ias.edu
with questions.
The last decade of ALMA has transformed our view of
planet-forming environments in all respects. High resolution images
have revealed a diverse array of structured belts of
millimeter-sized dust and a variety of distinct molecular
compositions both...
Abstract: The Anti-de-Sitter/Condensed Matter
Theory (AdS/CMT) correspondence has attracted significant attention
within high-energy physics, particularly in the study of
holographic superconductors, which are modeled as asymptotically
Anti-de...
In this talk, I will discuss two key areas, with a focus on the
challenges in modeling the spectral energy distributions in the
JWST era. First, a central science goal of JWST is finding the
first galaxies, which often requires modeling of...
