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...

Topic 1: In this talk, I present the impact of general relativistic effects on the galaxy power spectrum. After introducing the full general relativistic expression for the galaxy number density, I define the theory power spectrum and describe its...

Hydrodynamic simulations have a huge computational cost (~10 million CPU hours for 0.001 Gpc^3 volume), and cannot therefore be directly used in predictions for upcoming cosmological surveys which will probe 10-100 Gpc^3 volumes. Focusing on neutral...

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. ...
