Title: Gravitational Wave Sources at the Hearts of Galaxies Abstract: The recent gravitational-wave detections by LIGO/Virgo revolutionized the way we sense our Universe. However, it remains challenging to explain the formation channels of these sources. Motivated by these challenges, recent studies have emphasized the significant contribution of dynamical formation channels in dense stellar environments to … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Prof. Smadar Naoz"
Please join us on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021 at 3:00PM for this year’s introductory event for the Center for Relativistic Astrophysics. Meet the people who make up the CRA, and learn about the science & organization for this new year.
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"
