Title: Neutrino astronomy with IceCube Connecting Photoelectrons to Supermassive Black Holes Abstract: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, deployed beneath the South Pole, is the largest optical neutrino telescope in the World. … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Hans Niederhausen"
Title: High accuracy waveform models for high precision gravitational wave astronomy Abstract: Characterization of gravitational wave (GW) signals from the merger of binary black holes (BBHs) heavily rely on accurate gravitational waveform models. The most accurate way to compute waveforms is by solving the Einstein equation directly. This can only be done numerically (e.g. numerical … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Tousif Islam (UMass-Dartmouth)"
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 compact-binary events in the years since the original 2015 detection. Far more often than these events (approximately every two minutes), detectors experience transient, non-gaussian noise … 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)"
Title: Studying neutrino mass and dark matter, the key factors of the Universe structure formation Abstract: The formation of the structure of the Universe observed today is largely determined by … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Mariia Fedkevych"
Please join us this Thursday, September 7, 2023, for our next CRA seminar, given by Matthew Liska, a Hubble Fellow who has just arrived to the CRA. Speaker: Matthew Liska … Continue reading "CRA Seminar – Matthew Liska (GT)"
On the Importance of Expanding and Improving Numerical Relativity Simulations Speaker: Jacob Lange (University of Texas at Austin) Date: Thursday, September 14th, 2023 Time: 3:30PM – 4:30PM Location: CRA Visualization Lab (Boggs … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Jacob Lange (UT Austin)"
Title: Dark Black Holes Abstract: Gravitational wave detections of merging ultracompact objects provide a completely new way to constrain a large class of dark matter models. If the dark matter consists of a rich spectrum of particles, it will generically contain channels for dissipative energy loss that can lead to the formation of compact objects. We have … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Sarah Shandera (Penn State)"
