Upcoming Astro Seminars



Astrophysics Seminar: What can we learn from the evolution of galaxy sizes?

Kalina Nedkova (Johns Hopkins University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Galaxies have grown significantly in size since the early Universe. While quiescent galaxies grow primarily through galaxy mergers, star-forming galaxies grow by accreting gas from their surroundings and forming new…



Astrophysics Seminar: How micro galaxies could help constrain the properties of dark matter

Raphael Errani (Carnegie Mellon University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Guided by the recent discovery of the faint Milky Way satellite UMa3/UnionsI, in this talk I will present the results of our controlled high-resolution simulations to discuss how ”micro galaxies” could be…

Past Astro Seminars



Astrophysics Seminar: Mapping Cosmic Star Formation with the CO Mapping Array Project

Patrick Breysse (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

I will discuss the results of the second observing season of the CO Mapping Array Project (COMAP).  COMAP is a line intensity mapping experiment seeking to probe the cosmic star formation history by mapping the 115…



Astrophysics Seminar: Examining the CMB quadrupole anomaly using Planck PR3 data

Jahmour Givans (Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Observations of the large-angular-scale autocorrelation function and power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over the last 30 years have consistently provided hints that our standard LCDM cosmological…



Astrophysics seminar: "TBA"

Fiona McCarthy (Cambridge and CCA)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19


Astrophysics seminar: The James Webb Space Telescope: A New Era for Space Exploration

Mike McElwain (NASA)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared
space telescope designed to transform space science by observing targets
from within our own Solar System to the first light in the Universe (and…



Astrophysics Seminar: Near-field Cosmology with Stellar Streams

Nora Shipp (Carnegie Mellon)
- David Rittenhouse Labs, 4E19

Stellar streams, the tidal remnants of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies orbiting throughout the Milky Way’s halo, are some of the most powerful tools in the study of near-field cosmology. In particular, they are…
