PhD. Thesis Defense — Chao Shi — The Dynamics of Black Holes in First Galaxies

Boggs 1-90 VizLab

Abstract: Black holes(BHs) as massive as 10^9 solar masses has been discovered at redshift z >6, that is within one billion years after the big bang. It is believed that some seed black hole with large initial masses formed at very early times, which then grow to the supermassive black holes we observe at z … Continue reading "PhD.

CRA special seminar (Jacob Daughhetee)

Revealing the Neutrino through Double-Beta Decay   Characterization of the elusive neutrino has been the goal of many experiments over recent years, yet many fundamental properties of this elementary particle remain unknown. As the only neutral Standard Model fermion, it is possible that the neutrino is a Majorana particle, i.e. it's own anti-particle. This intriguing … Continue reading "CRA special seminar (Jacob Daughhetee)"

CRA seminar (Prof. Jeremiah Murphy)

Boggs 1-90 VizLab

Title: How Do Massive Stars Die? The title of this talk remains one of the most important and challenging questions in theoretical astrophysics. The explosive deaths of massive stars, core-collapse supernovae, are some of the most energetic events in the Universe; they herald the birth of neutron stars and black holes, are a major site … Continue reading "CRA seminar (Prof. Jeremiah Murphy)"
