Title: Neutrino astronomy with IceCube Connecting Photoelectrons to Supermassive Black Holes Abstract: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, deployed beneath the South Pole, is the largest optical neutrino telescope in the World. IceCube has been studying a diffuse flux of high-energy (>TeV) astrophysical neutrinos, ever since it reported the first evidence in 2013. However, the sources of … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Hans Niederhausen"

Title: High accuracy waveform models for high precision gravitational wave astronomy Abstract: Characterization of gravitational wave (GW) signals from the merger of binary black holes (BBHs) heavily rely on accurate gravitational waveform models. The most accurate way to compute waveforms is by solving the Einstein equation directly. This can only be done numerically (e.g. numerical … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Tousif Islam (UMass-Dartmouth)"

Title: Glitches get stitches: The effect non-transient noise in LIGO detectors on astrophysical inference, and what to do about it Abstract: Ground-based gravitational-wave detector networks have detected a deluge of … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Sophie Hourihane (Caltech)"
