Title: The anti-aligned spin of GW191109: Glitch Mitigation and its Implications  Abstract: One of the most interesting events in the third LVK observing run was GW191109, which was found to have spins which were confidently anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum - one of only two such cases which has been released - and high … Continue reading "CRA Seminar – Rhiannon Udall, Caltech"

 Title: Probing neutron star physics via multimessenger astronomy Abstract: In this talk I will review recent work that allowed us to obtain a better understanding of the neutron star equation of state and neutron star properties by use of multimessenger observations of (binary) neutron stars. I will also discuss recent and current efforts of modeling binary neutron … Continue reading "CRA Seminar – Vasilis Paschalidis, U. of Arizona [Host Tamara Bogdanovic]"

Title: Dust Scattering Halo of black hole binary 4U 1630-47 Observed with Chandra and APEX: Using mm and X-ray Imaging to Constrain Source and Molecular Cloud Distances Abstract: Dust scattering … Continue reading "CRA Seminar – Emrah Kalemci [Host Matthew Liska]"

Title: Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts in the NICER Era Abstract: Thermonuclear X-ray bursts are sudden flashes observed from some low-mass X-ray binaries. Time-resolved spectral analysis and long-term observations have revealed that they … Continue reading "CRA Seminar – Tolga Guver [Host Matthew Liska]"
