Abstract: With energies greater than a PeV, cosmic rays from galactic (and extra-galactic) sources are too rare to detect directly. Instead, large ground-based detector arrays catch the secondary particles from the extensive air showers that cosmic rays produce in the atmosphere, and attempt to determine … Continue reading "CRA Seminar by Prof. Katherine Rawlins (U. Alaska)"
Title: Gravitational Wave Sources at the Hearts of Galaxies Abstract: The recent gravitational-wave detections by LIGO/Virgo revolutionized the way we sense our Universe. However, it remains challenging to explain the formation channels of these sources. Motivated by these challenges, recent studies have emphasized the significant contribution of dynamical formation channels in dense stellar environments to … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Prof. Smadar Naoz"
Title: Halo-Bar Coupling: How Dark Matter Defines Galaxies Abstract: The coupling of a host dark matter halo to a stellar bar can have huge effects on galaxy dynamics and evolution. In this talk, I will review halo-bar coupling and demonstrate the extensive effects on galaxy morphology such as stellar bar destruction, formation of bar-driven dark … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Angela Collier"
