Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

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...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Terrestrial Quantum Gravity Tests
Dan Carney
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested by showing some...

Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

Star Formation, Stellar Mass, and Black Hole Growth in the First Billion Years
Brant Robertson
1:00pm|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

JWST has the powerful new capability to both measure the structural and stellar population properties of distant galaxies through deep near-infrared imaging and probe emission lines and continuum spectroscopically. The combination of these probes...

Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

The Past, Present, and Future of the Deep Universe
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

Results from JWST have challenged our prior views of galaxy formation and supermassive black hole growth at the earliest cosmic epochs. Our knowledge of the distant universe has evolved rapidly over the last two years of science operations, and...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

Physics Potential at a future Muon Collider
Cari Cesarotti
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: A clear outcome of Snowmass 2021 and now the US P5 report was the community support for R&D towards a future muon collider. In this talk we will discuss the general physics program that becomes available to the community during the...
