Title: Multiscale Simulations of Star Formation from Molecular Clouds Abstract: Star formation lies at the center of many fundamental topics in astrophysics. No comprehensive, quantitative theory of star formation has been established due to the complex physics involved and the huge dynamic range of the problem. Using a series of MHD simulations of star formation … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: ChongChong He (U. of Maryland)"

Title: Glitches get stitches: The effect non-transient noise in LIGO detectors on astrophysical inference, and what to do about it Abstract: Ground-based gravitational-wave detector networks have detected a deluge of … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Sophie Hourihane (Caltech)"
Title: Hunting extragalactic tau neutrinos in mountains, canyons, and volcanoes Abstract: The IceCube neutrino observatory discovered a high energy astrophysical neutrino flux extending to ~10PeV in energy. A first generation extragalactic neutrino telescope, IceCube gave us a taste of mulitmessenger astronomy with several reported hints thus far. An upcoming generation of telescopes is in the works, … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Ibrahim Safa (Columbia)"
