Title: “I Like to Myself Believe That Planet 5 Turns Slowly” Abstract: Within the general framework of the core-nucleated accretion theory of giant planet formation, the conglomeration of massive gaseous envelopes is facilitated by a transient period of rapid accumulation of nebular material. While the concurrent build-up of angular momentum is expected to leave newly … Continue reading "CRA seminar: Prof. Konstantin Batygin (Caltech)"

Title: “Time Domain Astronomy with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor in the Multimessenger Era” Abstract: On August 17, 2017, a new era in astronomy began with the detection of merging … Continue reading "CRA seminar (Dr. Colleen Wilson-Hodge)"

Title: Change and Observables in Hamiltonian General Relativity   Abstract: Canonical (Hamiltonian) General Relativity and the associated project in quantum gravity are said to suffer from a problem of missing … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Dr. J. Brian Pitts (University of Cambridge)"

## Scalable Space-time adaptivity for Simulations of Binary Black Hole Intermediate-Mass-Ratio-Inspirals We present a highly scalable framework that targets problems of interest to the numerical relativity and broader astrophysics communities. … Continue reading "CRA seminar (Hari Sundar)"

Title: Wind noise mitigation in LIGO India structure. Abstract: We will discuss the observations that necessitate a detail study of wind noise effects on the LIGO-India structure and different ways … Continue reading "CRA seminar (Prof. Rahul Prasad Nigam)"

Title/Abstract: 1. 10,000 solar mass black hole in NGC 4395 - primordial or no AGN feedback? I will present the reverberation-mapping study of the lowest-luminosity Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4395, based on the monitoring campaign in 2017 and 2018. The time delay of the Hα emission is measured as 83±14 min.. Combining with the Hα … Continue reading "CRA seminar (Prof. Jong-Hak Woo)"

Web: https://ccrg.rit.edu/user/jacob.lange Title: RIFT'ing the Waves: An algorithm to perform Rapid parameter inference on gavitational wave sources via Iterative FiTing Abstract: As the gravitational wave (GW) observatories get more sensitive, the number of confident detection will grow exponentially. Conventional parameter estimation (PE) algorithms have to use specifically-tuned settings with fast waveform models to estimation parameters … Continue reading "CRA Seminar by Jacob Lange (RIT)"
