Title: Circumgalactic Media of Low-mass, Star-forming EAGLE Galaxies Abstract: Advances in observational techniques have made it possible to analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in previously inaccessible detail. Often defined as … Continue reading "CRA Cosmic Coffee: Brian Cook (Leiden University)"
Title: Obliquity Evolution of Earthlike planets in α Centauri AB Abstract: Changes in planetary obliquity, or axial tilt, influence the climatic conditions on a potentially habitable planet, where orbital perturbations from a binary star companion can drive these changes to extremes. We study the evolution of planetary obliquity for an Earthlike planet in the habitable … Continue reading "CRA Cosmic Coffee: Billy Quarles"

Title: Long- and Short-Distance Relationships with Massive Black Holes Abstract : In the last decade, growth of supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies and their role in shaping the evolution of galaxies and their star formation histories has become a central topic in cosmology. However, the underlying physics of how a black hole … Continue reading "CRA Seminar by Aycin Aykutalp (Los Alamos National Laboratory)"
Web: https://icecube.wisc.edu/~akheirandish/ Title: Cosmic Neutrinos and the Unique Insights They Provide into the High-Energy Universe Abstract: The era of high-energy astrophysics with cosmic neutrinos began with the discovery of high-energy neutrinos with extraterrestrial origin in IceCube. The observation of high-energy cosmic neutrino flux revealed the prominent and larger than expected role of hadronic interactions in … Continue reading "CRA Seminar by Dr. Ali Kheirandish (University of Wisconsin)"
