CRA Seminar: Angela Collier
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"
CRA Seminar: Dr. Edwin Chan (CRA)
Title: Tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei Abstract: A fraction of tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur in active galactic nuclei (AGNs); distinguishing TDE flares in these hosts from common AGN variability is an unsolved challenge. We took the first step toward characterizing the appearance of TDEs in AGNs with the help of hydrodynamic simulations. … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Dr. Edwin Chan (CRA)"
