Astrophysics Seminar: FRB science results from CHIME

Kendrick Smith (Perimeter)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a recently discovered, poorly understood class of transient event, and understanding their origin has become a central problem in astrophysics. I will present FRB science results…

Past Astro Seminars



Astrophysics Seminar: How Well Can Cosmologists Do Astrophysics Using Line Intensity Mapping Observations?

Anirban Roy (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

In the last few decades, statistical analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature fluctuations has established the standard model of cosmology with high precision. The next frontier lies in…

Astrophysics Seminar: Mapping the near-infrared sky with SPHEREx

Jordan Mirocha (JPL)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, Center for Particle Cosmology Lounge

SPHEREx, NASA's next MIDEX mission, will launch in February and map the entire sky in 102 near-infrared spectral channels from 0.75-5 microns. This rich dataset will be used for a wide variety of science, including…



Astrophysics Seminar: Beyond the first wave: where we stand in understanding binary neutron star and black hole formation channels.

Lieke van Son (Flatiron Institute)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

After the first waves of gravitational-wave detections, it often seems as though we are left with more questions than answers. The hope of finding "one formation channel to rule them all" has given way to "one…
