Title: Searches for gravitational-waves beyond compact binary coalescences Abstract: The Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors have now completed three observing runs, and reported dozens of detections form compact binary mergers. As we observe more of the gravitational-wave universe, we may detect signals from novel sources. For example, core-collapse supernovae or cosmic string cusps may produce … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Meg Millhouse (GaTech)"

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 … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: ChongChong He (U. of Maryland)"

Title: Hydrodynamical Evolution of Binary Black Holes Embedded in AGN Disks Abstract: Stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks are promising progenitors of black hole … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Rixin Li (Cornell)"

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"
