Speaker: Atınç Çaǧan Şengül Title: Studying Dark Matter at Sub-Galactic Scales with Strong Gravitational Lensing
Abstract: Infrared magnetospectroscopy is a useful probe of correlated electron physics in graphene (although this is not true for 2D electron systems in general). We have studied Landau level transitions in both mono- and bilayer graphene, and generally find departures from what is expected in a single particle picture. Bilayer graphene offers an intriguing set […]

Title: Nonlinear dynamics in the early universe Abstract: The ability to connect early universe dynamics, e.g. inflation, and late universe observations relies on a feature of cosmological adiabatic modes: they are conserved on scales larger than the Hubble horizon. This property is easy to understand at linear order, but its nonlinear validity is more obscure. […]

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: […]
