Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Tidal Sculpting of Short-Period Exoplanets
Sarah Millholland
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

A large fraction of exoplanetary systems contain planets that orbit very close to their host stars. With orbital periods in the range of days to weeks, tidal forces become important and lead to significant orbital and physical effects on the planets...

Connecting Compact Object Dynamics with Multi-Messenger Observations in Dense Star Clusters
Claire Ye
12:00pm|Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Frequent dynamical encounters in globular clusters significantly enhance the production of multi-messenger phenomena. It is now well established that globular clusters host robust populations of compact objects, including low-mass X-ray binaries...

Quadratic Characters With Non-Negative Partial Sums
Kannan Soundararajan
3:30pm|314 Fine Hall

Are there infintely many quadratic characters (for instance, the Legendre symbol mod p) for which the partial sums are always non-negative? Although only 0% of characters can have this property, numerical work (most recently by Kalmynin) suggests...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

The Quantum Twisting Microscope: Visualizing Waves in Quantum Matter
Shahal Ilani
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Some of the most fascinating phenomena in nature arise when electrons behave as quantum mechanical waves that interact with one another. But how can we visualize these electronic waves in action? In this talk, I will introduce the Quantum...
