JHU/STScI Joint Colloquium: Stella Offner (UT Austin)
STScI John Bahcall AuditoriumMachine Learning the Evolution of Gas from Clouds to Stars
Machine Learning the Evolution of Gas from Clouds to Stars
Moon Ying on the topic "Protein assemblies prefer regular growth due to membrane energy penalty during budding" and Mateusz Ratman with the title "Spontaneous spatial sorting by cell shape in growing colonies of rod-like bacteria"
All members of the department are invited and encouraged to attend. The purpose of the meeting will be to make some announcements and to provide information and updates on various research, education, outreach, and administrative initiatives in the department. As with the colloquium, a wine and cheese reception will follow.
TITLE: Photonic Band Gap R&D for Next Generation Axion Haloscopes ABSTRACT: Axions are a well-motivated dark matter candidate particle, which have the potential to simultaneously solve multiple problems in particle physics. As a dark matter candidate, large scale haloscopes, such as ADMX and HAYSTAC, aim to detect axions in the galactic halo by measuring the […]
Talk titles will be available on the CAS wiki page.
Title: Quantum near extremal black holes and anomalies Abstract: The Bekenstein–Hawking formula gives a coarse-grained count of the number of microstates of a black hole, and it is remarkable that it may sometimes be reproduced from a microscopic count in string theory. However, the standard approach (which we will briefly review) typically relies on supersymmetry by counting […]
Condensed Matter & Biological Physics Seminar: Salem Al Mosleh (University of Maryland Eastern Shore) Host: Brian Camley
* Lunch at noon TITLE: Testing Gravity at ever shorter scale: a trip into exotic experimental physics ABSTRACT: Since the times of Henry Cavendish and John Mitchell, the strength of gravity has been measured by comparing it to the reaction of a calibrated mechanical spring. While in the last 60 years planetary measurements (with natural and […]
Title: The Open Access Era of Exoplanet Characterization at the Onset of Next-Generation Telescopes
Hosted by JHU Gender Minorities & Women in Physics (G-WiP), TITLE: A new vision for the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian ABSTRACT: I will present the latest discoveries and developments at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA). Our discoveries cover solar astrophysics, star formation and evolution, galaxy formation & evolution, extrasolar […]
Title: Fundamental Physics and Cosmology from Stellar Mass Binary Black Holes Abstract:The first three observing runs of the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA gravitational wave detectors produced a wealth of "firsts," including the first observation of multiple "ringdown" modes from a black hole---the remnant of the first-ever binary black hole merger, GW150914. Just like an excited […]
Title: How Much Do We Understand About Early Galaxy Formation? Abstract: The “Cosmic Dawn” of galaxy formation is one of the frontiers of modern astronomy. In the past two years, JWST has provided tantalizing clues about sources in the first several hundred million years of the Universe’s history that challenge our understanding this era, including […]
