The Bahcall Lunch follow the astrophysics colloquium lecture.
Registration is required by 6pm the previous Thursday so a meal can
be provided. Email Amanda at cenker@ias.edu

We are entering an extremely data-rich era in the next decade,
with full 6D+chemistry information on dozens of stellar streams, to
shape our understanding on the chemo-dynamical evolution of the
Milky Way, as well as the nature of the dark matter...
This is an exciting time for stellar astrophysics as
high-cadence time domain surveys (Gaia, PTF, ZTF, ATLAS, Kepler,
TESS, and, in the near future, the Vera Rubin Observatory) are
revolutionizing the landscape of stellar studies by allowing
the...
Abstract: MAGIS-100 is a macroscopic
‘Quantum-Sensor’, based on a 100-meter light-pulse atom
interferometer, being built at Fermilab by an international
collaboration, in search of the “dark” sector of the universe
(“dark” matter and energy) and...
The cosmic microwave background is a sensitive probe of
early-Universe physics, and yet fundamental constants at
recombination can differ from their present day values due to
degeneracies in the standard cosmological model. Such scenarios
have been...
