15-20 min long talks on astronomy-related papers, projects, ideas.
Machine learning in exoplanet characterizationThe upcoming decade promises remarkable progress in our grasp of exoplanet formation, evolution, and an in-depth assessment of their climates and possible habitability. With the James Webb Space Telescope now in orbit, we're at the threshold of high-precision atmospheric studies of these distant worlds. This milestone, combined with forthcoming endeavours like […]
Informal science discussions and coffee, open to the entire department.
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: […]
Host: Dan Beller Controlling chaotic advection in 2D active nematicsRecent years have seen a surge of interest in active materials, in which energy injected at the microscale gives rise to mesoscale coherent motion. One prominent example is an active 2D "liquid crystal" composed of microtubules in the nematic phase. The activity is generated by molecular […]
**Lunch at 12 noon** Title: Seeing the Milky Way Galaxy in High-Energy Neutrinos Abstract: Visible in the sky as a swath of stars, dust, and gas, the Galactic plane of the Milky Way has been observed in every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to infrared, optical, x-rays, and gamma rays. IceCube has […]
