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. Sign up for e-mails by sending a […]
Informal science discussions and coffee, open to the entire department.
Yaswant Devarakonda (AAS) Astronomy Advocacy: Guiding the Future of the Field
15-20 min long talks on astronomy-related papers, projects, ideas. Enjoy both Astronomy and Coffee (please bring your own mugs). If you have new results, ideas or want to discuss an interesting paper from arXiv, we encourage you to present. Spring 2024 schedule
Theoretical principles of viral capsid self-organization and genome packaging Single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses, which impact humans, animals, and plants, constitute the largest and most widespread genetic class of viruses. During the replication process, hundreds or even thousands of proteins assemble to form the viral shell (capsid), enclosing the genetic material. Using continuum elasticity theory, we […]

Lensing of Gravitational Waves: New Opportunities for Fundamental Physics Just like light, gravitational waves (GWs) are deflected and magnified by massive objects in the Universe, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. In addition, their low frequency, phase coherence and lack of absorption make GWs complementary to lensed electromagnetic sources. Hence, in addition to well known […]

Title: Effective Field Theory Breakdown Near Cool Black Holes Abstract: In this talk, I will demonstrate a surprising way in which near-extremal black holes are sensitive probes of new physics. For extremal Kerr black holes, higher-derivative corrections cubic and quartic in the Riemann tensor induce tidal force singularities on the horizon, leading to a breakdown […]
Title: New Structures in the J/psi J/psi Mass Spectrum at CMS Abstract: The speaker will discuss the new structures reported by the CMS collaboration recently. Three structures are found in the J/psi J/psi mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, and a model with quantum interference among these structures provides a good description of […]
