There has been exciting recent progress in the study of the
quantum nature of black holes through the use of certain exactly
solvable models. This work shows how to realize, in concrete terms,
various long-held...
The chemistry of gas and stars in galaxies connects many
seemingly disparate areas of astrophysics, from planet formation
and stellar evolution to the enrichment and physical state of the
circumgalactic and intergalactic media. Because heavy...
Close binaries are the origin of many extraordinary events in
the Universe, including type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave
events. On the other extreme, wide binaries are easily disrupted by
gravitational perturbations, making them a unique...
The UCLA Galactic Center Group has opened up a new approach to
studying black holes and the physics of the extreme. By
advancing state-of-the-art high-resolution imaging technology on
the world’s largest telescopes, we have greatly expanded the...
The meeting will be a hybrid presentation of in person, for
Princeton University affiliates
(net ID holders) and Invited Speakers,
and a Zoom presentation for all NON PU affiliates.
Registration is required for everyone to receive the Zoom link

Cosmologists are proud of the standard cosmological model that
has been developed to account for a wealth of disparate features of
the Universe. The model requires, though, that we postulate the
existence of some collisionless dark matter and also...
The proximity of our Galaxy's center presents a unique
opportunity to study a galactic nucleus with orders of magnitude
higher spatial resolution than can be brought to bear on any other
galaxy. After more than a decade of diffraction-limited...

Learn about new developments in the study of supermassive black
holes. Through the capture and analysis of twenty years of
high-resolution imaging, the UCLA Galactic Center Group has moved
the case for a supermassive black hole at the center of our...
