Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

What We Think We Know About Lyman Alpha Emitting Galaxies
Eric Gawiser
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

The following statements are often made about high-redshift Lyman Alpha Emitting (LAE) galaxies:  

1.  They are young, low-dust galaxies undergoing initial bursts of star formation.  

2.  Due to resonant scattering, Lyman alpha photons experience much...

The empirical TRINITY model of galaxy--supermassive black hole connection: What can we learn from JWST and NANOGrav?
Haowen Zhang
12:00pm|Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Grand Central

JWST has found many more supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at z>4 than we expected. In addition, some of these SMBHs show spectacular properties, such as their masses given their redshifts and host galaxy masses. Nonetheless, it is difficult to...

Pushing the S-matrix Bootstrap
Jan Albert
11:00am|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: First introduced in the 60s, positivity bounds for S-matrices have undergone a revival in the past few years, with systematic implementations that improve by the day. Among the recent results are sharp bounds on the EFTs of various gauge...

Nonthermal Electron Acceleration via Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration: Theory, Simulation, and Observation
Takanobu Amano
12:30pm|Dome Room, Peyton Hall or Zoom

Electron injection into diffusive shock acceleration has been a topic of great interest over the decades. One of the prime candidate mechanisms, stochastic shock drift acceleration (SSDA), has recently been discussed based on fully kinetic...
