Abstract: The coalescence of compact
binaries and the gravitational waves produced in this process
provide an unique view into gravity in its dynamical, nonlinear
regime. Proeminent during a black-hole coalescence is the
plunge-merger stage, when...
Pulsars are rotating magnetic neutron stars which produce
powerful beams of coherent radio emission. They are also prolific
sources of broadband high-energy emission. In this talk I will
describe recent advances in modelling pulsar radio emission...
In this talk I will present a kinetically mixed dark sector
(KMIX) model aimed at simultaneously addressing the Hubble and
S8 tensions. Inspired from string theory, the model includes
two fields: an axion, which plays a role similar to the
scalar...
The importance of star formation “feedback” to the energetics of
the interstellar medium (ISM) has been appreciated throughout the
modern history of astronomy. Star formation is inefficient in gas
consumption because feedback efficiently maintains...
Super star clusters with masses > 1e6 Msun are thought to be
progenitors of globular clusters (GCs). Their births however are
seldomly seen in the local Universe. Given radiation and kinetic
feedbacks that regulate star formation, contribution to...
The understanding of
strongly-correlated quantum matter has challenged
physicists for decades. The discovery four years ago of correlated
phases and superconductivity in magic angle twisted
bilayer graphene has led to the emergence of a new...
