The 2023 Bearden Lecture is presented by Dr. Preeti Kharb, who is a faculty member at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics at the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research, Pune, India TITLE: Jets in Radio-Quiet AGN and their Influence on the Host Galaxies ABSTRACT: 'Radio-quiet' AGN dominate the AGN population. Their jets, when present, are faint […]
Kungang Li (University of Maryland) presents a joint HEP-Ex -Condensed matter seminar Title: "Superconducting Qubits in Quantum Sensing and its Energy Relaxation Time Fluctuations". Abstract: Superconducting qubits are an ideal platform for quantum processors and sensors, demonstrating utility in high-energy physics applications. Quantum sensing in this field involves the controlled interaction of superconducting qubits with […]
15-20 min long talks on astronomy-related papers, projects, ideas.
We meet every Tuesday at 1pm, Eastern time, in the CafeCon (the conference room next to the STScI cafeteria), and also remotely using BlueJeans. We start with a talk by guest speaker for ~30 minutes, followed by paper discussion. Vote for what papers you want discussed on Benty-Fields. Tentative talk schedule for the fall semester: […]

Liang Wu (U Penn) "Novel nonlinear optical response in PT-invariant antiferromagnets"
We are fortunate to have Benjamin Wandelt from Sorbonne University visiting to present a special seminar on "AI-assisted discovery in cosmological physics." Professor Benjamin D. Wandelt obtained a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Imperial College, London. After research positions at the Niels Bohr Institute and Princeton University, and tenure at Illinois, he is now a Professor at […]
