Time domain astronomy will face big data challenges with
operation of big surveys such as Rubin LSST and Roman. These
challenges are being addressed by data science methods some of
which are also applicable to other fields of science with
large...
Gravity plays the central role in structure formation and
evolution in astronomical scales. Despite the apparently simple
inverse square law for the gravitational force in the
non-relativistic regime, the dynamics of self-gravitating
many-body...
The Bahcall Lunch follow the astrophysics colloquium
lecture. Registration is required by 3pm the previous
Friday so a meal can be provided. Please contact Amanda
Cenker with questions.
Millimeter-wave surveys of the sky have the potential for
yielding a wealth of information about our universe from the first
instants of its existence to our own solar system. I will describe
how modern measurements of the cosmic microwave...
Our understanding of astrophysical black holes is predicated on
the Kerr solution to Einstein’s equations. A promising avenue for
testing the Kerr hypothesis is to detect the shadow a black hole
casts on the surrounding emission and compare its size...
