Title: Impact of Central Massive Black Hole Accretion on the Event Horizon, Host Galaxy, and Beyond Abstract: Astrophysical black holes are surprisingly simple physical objects. Their gravitational field can be fully described by two parameters: mass and spin. We cannot directly observe black holes as no light escapes from the event horizon. However, we can … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Labani Mallick (U Manitoba) Virtual"

Title: Transcending the Limits of Theoretical Physics with Deep Learning Abstract: Astronomy has recently experienced a profound transformation, driven by the acquisition of extensive datasets generated by increasingly sophisticated instruments. This influx of data has opened up numerous new avenues for exploration in the field. However, this boon is accompanied by its own set of … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yuan-Sen Ting (ANU)"

Title: Identification and characterization of GW bursts with the BayesWave algorithm for expanded GW detector networks Abstract:  The global gravitational-wave detector network currently consists of four interferometers: LIGO Hanford (H) and Livingston (L), Virgo (V) and KAGRA (K); the commissioning of LIGO India is also well underway. As the detector network continues to expand, it is … Continue reading "Special CRA Seminar: Christine Lee (AU)"

TITLE: Gravitational wave and electromagnetic signatures of binary black holes with circumbinary gas ABSTRACT: Binary black holes (BHBs) embedded in dense gas hold the promise of so-called "multi-messenger astrophysics": when … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Zoltan Haiman (Columbia, on sabbatical at GT)"

Title: “Trinity neutrino observatory: progress of the Demonstrator phase” Abstract: In this seminar, I will present the Trinity’s pioneering efforts in Earth-skimming tau neutrino detection. I delve into the evolution … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Mariia Fedkevych (GT)"

Title: Going wider and deeper in the search for gravitational waves Abstract: Gravitational waves (GWs) are oscillations of spacetime itself due to strong dynamical gravity. Since its first detection by … Continue reading "Leo Tsukada -Penn State Un"

Title: Unveiling the TeV Sky in Neutrinos and Gamma rays Abstract: The search for the origin of cosmic rays as well as the signatures of new physics, are closely tied … Continue reading "Mehr Un Nisa (MSU)"

Title: Insights from Local Simulations of Accretion Disk Coronae: Two-temperature effects, thermal conduction, and radiation transport Abstract: I will present a series of local accretion disk models, i.e., stratified shearing-box magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, for radiatively efficient accretion flows (REFs), which for the first time, include the effects of field-aligned free-streaming thermal conduction and radiation transport. … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Chris Bambic Princeton UN"
