Past 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: 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…
