Past Astro Seminars



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…



Astrophysics Seminar: Formation and Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies: Nature vs Nurture?

Yen-Ting Lin (ASIAA)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

The formation and evolution of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), the most massive galaxies in the universe, is not a well-understood issue in astrophysics.  Are BCGs special compared to other cluster…



Astrophysics Seminar: Weak Lensing with the Effective Theory of Large-Scale Structure

Stephen Chen (Princeton)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

In the past decade, effective theories of large-scale structure (EFT) have become the premier way to constrain fundamental physics using spectroscopic surveys starting from first principles. In this talk I…



Astrophysics Seminar: High-redshift star formation under the cosmic microscope with SPT+ALMA+JWST

Joaquin Vieira (UIUC)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19



Astrophysics Seminar: Why a tiny neutrino particle inspired me to simulate and reconstruct the entire Universe

Adrian Bayer (Flatiron)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Massive neutrinos suppress the growth of cosmic structure on small, non-linear scales, making it crucial to go beyond a traditional power spectrum analysis to tighten constraints on their mass.
