Title: Tilted Planets: Exciting Exoplanetary Obliquities via Spin-Orbit Resonances Abstract: The obliquity of a planet, the tilt between its spin and orbital axes, reflects the evolutionary history of the planet. In our own Solar System, the 98 degree obliquity of Uranus is hypothesized to be the result of giant impacts during its formation, and the … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yubo Su (Princeton University)"
Title: Black hole mergers in AGN disks and Few-body code SpaceHub Abstract: Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks may be important sites for stellar mass binary black hole (BBH) mergers, but … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yihan Wang (Nevada Center for Astrophysics)"
Title: Intermediate-mass black holes: past, present, future Abstract: Despite their key importance from stellar to cosmological scales, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are one of the unsolved puzzles of modern astronomy … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Giacomo Fragione (Northwestern)"
