Title: Ultralight to Heavy: Production Pathways of Axions and Dark Photons as Dark Matter Abstract: In this talk, I will review the motivation for axions (and alike particles) and dark photons … Continue reading "CRA Special Seminar – Prof. Paola Arias [Prof. John Wise]"
Title: Quasi-periodic Eruptions Abstract: Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are a newly discovered type of recurring X-ray transient originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby, low-mass galaxy nuclei. They are thought to be … Continue reading "CRA Special Seminar Joheen Chakraborty (Host Dr. Matthew Liska)"
Title: Coronal Heating and Feedback from Luminous Accretion Flows: Challenges and Insights from Local and Global Simulations Abstract Radiatively efficient accretion represents a frontier problem for computational astrophysics. Through leveraging … Continue reading "CRA SEMINAR Dr. Christopher Bambic [Prof. John Wise]"
Title: Mapping Sub-stellar Companions in Time and Space Abstract: Companion brown dwarfs and exoplanets are complex objects whose time and spatial variability are now being mapped with high-fidelity infrared observations … Continue reading "CRA SEMINAR – Dr. Arthur Daniel Adams [Dr. Gongjie Li]"
Speaker: Prof. Krista Lynne Smith (Texas A&M) Abstract: The space-time distortion caused by supermassive black holes provides a unique laboratory for violent physical processes. Synthesizing observations across many wavelengths and … Continue reading "Public talk: Through the Kaleidoscope: The Multicolor Music of Supermassive Black Holes"
