Title: Bridging Physics and Observations of Black Hole-Powered Events  Abstract: Black hole (BH)-powered transients are abundant in the Universe, originating from compact object mergers, collapsing stars, galactic cores and more. Upcoming LIGO runs and new electromagnetic detectors, such as LSST and ULTRASAT position BH-powered multi-messenger events at the forefront of astrophysics. I will review the … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Ore Gottlieb (Flatiron Institute)"

Title: Impact of Central Massive Black Hole Accretion on the Event Horizon, Host Galaxy, and Beyond Abstract: Astrophysical black holes are surprisingly simple physical objects. Their gravitational field can be … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Labani Mallick (U Manitoba) Virtual"

Title: Transcending the Limits of Theoretical Physics with Deep Learning Abstract: Astronomy has recently experienced a profound transformation, driven by the acquisition of extensive datasets generated by increasingly sophisticated instruments. … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yuan-Sen Ting (ANU)"

Title: Identification and characterization of GW bursts with the BayesWave algorithm for expanded GW detector networks Abstract:  The global gravitational-wave detector network currently consists of four interferometers: LIGO Hanford (H) and … Continue reading "Special CRA Seminar: Christine Lee (AU)"
