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"

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 … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Dr. Edwin Chan (CRA)"
