Abstract: The Atacama Cosmology Telescope
is a ground-based CMB survey that has mapped half the millimeter
sky at significantly higher resolution and sensitivity than the
Planck satellite. I will present new ACT results from a 9400
sq.deg...
The birth of stars is one of the most complex problems
challenging modern astrophysics. Understanding their origins is of
fundamental importance to many areas of astronomy, from exoplanet
studies to cosmology. While the study of the initial...
While models of dark energy can be tuned to match the observed
late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, similar to a
cosmological constant, they at the same time also change the
relationship between the gravitational potentials. The E_G...
The very first step in planet formation is to build
planetesimals out of dust particles in protoplanetary disks. The
origin and demographics of planetesimals are crucial to
understanding the Solar System, exoplanetary systems, and
circumstellar...
While nuclei lighter than iron are fused over the course of
typical stellar evolution, almost half of the elements heavier than
iron are created through the rapid neutron capture process
(r-process). These nuclei are thought to be produced in...
Abstract: The concept that there may exist
symmetries relating bosons and fermions was first proposed by Yuri
Golfand and Evgeny Likhtman in 1971 and independently realized by
Julius Wess and Bruno Zumino in 1974. Thus, was born the topic
of...
