Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
Discussion Leader: Nicolas Garavito
11:00am|Remote via Zoom

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

The NASA Parker Solar Probe mission at the edge of the solar streamer belt
Stuart Bale
11:00am|Virtual Meeting
The physics of astrophysical coronal heating and the origin of the slow solar wind remain compelling problems in heliospheric physics, and plasma astrophysics more generally. The NASA Parker Solar Probe mission was launched in late 2018 and...

Characterizing the Architectures of Planetary Populations with Kepler and Next-Generation Doppler Surveys
Eric Ford
11:00am|Virtual Meeting

NASA's Kepler mission conducted a large survey of planetary systems.  Recently, we have advanced from measuring occurrence rates as a function of planet size and period to characterizing the intrinsic distribution of planetary system architectures. ...

The Core-Collapse Supernova Critical Condition and the Birth of Millisecond Proto-Magnetar Winds
Matthias Raives
12:30pm|Virtual Meeting

The mechanism powering core-collapse supernovae remains uncertain. I will discuss aspects of the critical condition for explosion, focusing on the model problem of spherical accretion onto a standing accretion shock. My recent work explores the...
