Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Decay for the Klein-Gordon Equation on the Schwarzschild Black Hole
Yakov Shlapentokh-Rothman
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: We will start with a review of previous results concerning  instabilities of rotating Kerr black holes to massive scalar field perturbations. These instabilities are connected to superradiance and hence do not occur on the Schwarzschild...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Giant magnetic waves and quantum fluids inside a neutron star
Yuri Levin
4:00pm|Jadwin Hall A-10

Abstract: Radio pulses from rotating neutron stars provide us with spectacularly accurate measurements of their spin frequencies. Surprisingly, young and middle-aged pulsars frequently exhibit irregular evolution of their spin frequencies, with long...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

A New Spin on Supermassive Black Holes in a MAD Universe
Angelo Ricarte
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Event Horizon Telescope studies prefer Magnetically Arrested Disk (MAD) accretion flows over their more weakly magnetized Standard and Normal Evolution (SANE) counterparts.  These models produce efficient jets via the Blandford-Znajek (BZ)...
