    “Dark Matter in the Smallest Galaxies”
    Location: Peyton Hall Auditorium
    Time: 4:30 PM
    Speaker(s): Matt Walker, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

    Description: ABSTRACT: At present the Milky Way's dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites are the smallest objects associated empirically with the phenomenology of dark matter. They also exhibit the largest dynamical mass-to-light ratios, with some estimates reaching several thousand times the solar value in optical wavelengths. Insofar as their baryons are dynamically negligible, dSphs provide a relatively clear window onto the properties of dark matter within galaxies. I will present empirical constraints, derived from stellar kinematics, on the amount and spatial distribution of dark matter within individual dSphs and will briefly discuss potential implications for cosmology and particle physics.

    Princeton University Wunch Talk
    “''Retired'' Planet Hosts: Not So Massive, Maybe Just Portly After Lunch”
    Location: Peyton Hall, Room 33 (basement)
    Time: 12:30 PM
    Speaker(s): James Lloyd, Cornell University

    Description: ABSTRACT: Studies of the planet abundance as a function of stellar mass have shown a strong increase in the frequency of planet occurrence around stars more massive than 1.5 Msun, and that such stars are deficit in short period planets. These planet searches have relied on giant stars for a sample of high mass stars, which are hostile to precision Doppler measurements while on the main sequence due to rotation and activity. However, the observationally inferred mass for exoplanet hosting giants is inconsistent with the expected masses of a sample of field giants. These stars are more likely to have originated from a main sequence population of late F/early G dwarfs with mass 1.0-1.2 Msun, only slightly more more massive than the typical FGK dwarfs with Doppler detected planets. The erroneous mass determinations most likely arise from the extrapolation of solar-calibrated mixing length theory to the red giant branch, and suggests that the isochrones need revision with a slightly larger mixing length on the red giant branch. The deficit of short period planets is most likely explained by tidal capture. The planet abundance increase requires either a high rate of false positives in giant stars due to signals of stellar origin or a new mechanism to migrate planets inwards during the post main sequence evolution of the host star.

  • Thursday, February 9, 2012
    Institute for Advanced Study Informal Astrophysics Seminar
    “Planetary Population Synthesis: Comparing Planet Formation Theory and Observation”
    Location: Bloomberg Hall, Astrophysics Library
    Time: 11:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Christoph Mordasini, Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg

    Description: ABSTRACT: The last few years have seen a tremendous increase of observational data regarding the properties of extrasolar planets. High precision radial velocity and transit observations have yielded large datasets which are important to improve our understanding of planet formation and evolution. But also other techniques like microlensing or direct imaging start to contribute information regarding other basic properties of the extrasolar planets. Bringing all these different dataset into one coherent picture to improve our theoretical understanding is challenging, as each technique is constraining a different aspect of the formation and evolution process. I will present planetary population synthesis as a useful method in this context as it allows many direct comparisons of theoretical results with observational data. For the synthesis, we use a planetary formation model which is based on the core accretion paradigm, but includes also disk migration and disk evolution. By varying the initial conditions of the model according to observed distributions of properties of protoplanetary disk (e.g. disk mass or lifetime) we synthesize planetary populations. Recently, we have extended this formation model into a self-consistently coupled formation and evolution model. Thanks to this it is now possible to compare a synthetic and the actual observed planetary population in all major characteristics, namely in their mass, semimajor axis, radius and luminosity distributions. As an application, I will show comparisons with transit observations concerning the synthetic and the observed radius distribution, the semimajor axis distribution of planets close to the star, and the mass-radius relationship. We find that the latter can only be reproduced if strongly reduced grain opacities are assumed during the formation process, establishing an interesting link between microphysical processes like grain growth during formation and observable quantities nowadays. I will finally make predictions for the luminosity distribution of massive planets for future direct imaging searches.

    Princeton University Astroplasmas Seminar
    “Physics from X-ray Observations of Galaxy Clusters”
    Location: Peyton Hall, Dome Room
    Time: 12:30 PM
    Speaker(s): Maxim Markevitch, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

    Description: ABSTRACT: Mergers of galaxy clusters -- some of the most energetic events in theUniverse -- produce disturbances in hot intracluster medium, such asshocks and cold fronts, that can be used as tools to study the physics of galaxy clusters. X-ray observations of shock fronts provide information on the shock Mach number and velocity, and for well-observed shocks, constrain the microphysical properties of the intracluster plasma. Cold fronts may constrain viscosity and the structure and strength of the cluster magnetic fields. Combined with radio data, these observations also shed light on the production of ultrarelativistic particles that are known to coexist with the cluster thermal plasma. While cold fronts are commonly seen in merging and relaxed clusters, only a few unambiguous shock fronts have been seen in X-rays so far. This talk will summarize the current X-ray observations of cluster mergers, as well as some recent radio data and high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations.

    Location: Peyton Hall Auditorium
    Time: 4:30 PM
    Speaker(s): Ruth Murray-Clay, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

    Description: ABSTRACT: Several giant planets have now been directly imaged, offering the first view of extrasolar planets at wide separations from their host stars. Formation of these objects, either by core accretion or gravitational instability, presents substantial theoretical difficulties. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by wide-separation planets for theories of planet formation and orbital evolution. I will emphasize (1) a new theory of planetary core growth in the presence of gas that extends the reach of core accretion to large stellocentric distances and (2) new constraints on the dynamical history of the outer solar system.

    “Towards the Principles of Self Assembly”
    Location: Jadwin Hall, Room A10
    Time: 4:30 PM
    Speaker(s): Michael Brenner, Harvard University

    Description: ABSTRACT: In biological systems, there are striking examples where complicated structures (i.e., the bacterial ribosome) can spontaneously assemble, driven by specific interactions between the components. But how can systems be designed to have this property? Recent technological advances have created the opportunity for making technologically relevant systems that self assemble, by e.g. coating colloidal particles with DNA. We will discuss how self assembly works in this system, through theory, numerical simulation and experiment -- and start to speculate as to whether resulting principles might be useful for unravelling the rules of biological self-assembly.

    “The Tractor: Using Forward Modeling to Measure objects in Atronomical Images”
    Location: Bloomberg Hall, Astrophysics Library
    Time: 11:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Dustin Lang, Princeton University

    Description: ABSTRACT: I will present some early results from 'the Tractor', a new approach for measuring astronomical sources in collections of images that David Hogg (NYU) and I have been developing. The idea to use generative (forward) modeling: we want to produce an astronomical source catalog that, along with image calibration information, allows us to predict the image pixels that were actually observed. If we have multiple images (in multiple bands, or from multiple instruments, say), we can optimize the source catalog to jointly best explain the observed images. Unlike traditional methods, we never have to co-add, degrade or reject any of the images, and by sampling we can capture the covariance in our measurements.

    Location: Bloomberg Hall, Astrophysics Library
    Time: 11:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Kfir Blum, Institute for Advanced Study

    Description: ABSTRACT: In the supersymmetric framework, a higgsino asymmetry exists in the universe before the electroweak phase transition. We investigate whether the higgsino is a viable asymmetric dark matter candidate. We find that this is indeed possible. The gauginos, squarks and sleptons must all be very heavy, such that the only electroweak-scale superpartners are the higgsinos. The temperature of the electroweak phase transition must be in the (1 − 10) GeV range.

    Location: Bloomberg Hall Astrophysics Library
    Time: 11:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Warren Brown, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

    Description: ABSTRACT: A massive black hole sits in the heart of the Milky Way. One consequence of the black hole is that it ejects "hypervelocity stars" from the Milky Way at ~1000 km/s velocities. We discovered the first hypervelocity star in 2005, and since then our targeted survey has discovered 20 unbound stars and a comparable number of possibly bound hypervelocity stars. Recent results include a surprising anisotropic spatial distribution of hypervelocity stars, unbound disk runaways, and HST proper motion measurements that may allow us constrain the shape and orientation of the Galactic potential.

    Location: Bloomberg Hall, Astrophysics Library
    Time: 11:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Stefano Profumo, University of California, Santa Cruz

    Description: ABSTRACT: New physics at the electro-weak scale might unlock the mysteries of the generation of the (baryonic) matter-antimatter asymmetry and of the particle nature of dark matter. I will review recent progress on understanding baryogenesis at the electro-weak phase transition, and the multitude of experimental tests that this scenario offers, including collider, gravity waves and electric dipole moment searches. I will argue that this scenario is firmly falsifiable, with a time-line of only a few years. I will then discuss searches for weak-scale particle dark matter in astrophysical data, including an updated review of controversial signals in cosmic-ray and gamma-ray data. I will address the question of whether it is feasible to learn about New Physics "from the Sky", and outline theoretical and observational strategies for a roadmap towards the discovery of the nature of dark matter.

    Speaker(s): Jordi Miralda Escude, University of Barcelona

    Description: ABSTRACT: The first results obtained from the Baryon acoustic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey in SDSS-III on large-scale structure using the Lyman alpha forest will be discussed. Thanks to the unprecedentedly large numbers of quasar spectra being obtained by BOSS, absorption spectra are emerging as a powerful tool for the study of the large-scale distribution and cross-correlations of hydrogen, galaxies, QSOs, and metal absorbers in the universe. This promises to provide new clues for fundamental cosmology, the nature of quasars, the relation of galaxies to their environment, and the first metals that were released to the intergalactic medium.

  • Monday, April 30, 2012
    Princeton University Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS) Electromagnetic and Gravitational Workshop - Day 1
    “Connecting the Electromagnetic and Gravitational Wave Skies in the Era of Advanced LIGO”
    Location: Jadwin Hall
    Time: 8:00 AM
    Speaker(s): Various - See Website
    Note: Check website for exact times.

    Description: Workshop dates: April 30 - May 4. It is anticipated that within the next few years the first direct detection of gravitational waves will be made with advanced networks of ground based interferometers including LIGO and Virgo. Because some gravitational wave events may be accompanied by transient electromagnetic counterparts, coordination between electromagnetic and gravitational wave observers will be critical to maximize the scientific return from these discoveries. In addition, theoretical models and data analysis strategies must already be in place before the gravitational wave observatories observe first "light".With this in mind, we will be hosting this week-long workshop at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS) on April 30-May 4, 2012. The goal of the workshop will be to bring together a small group of researchers, including key members of the detector experiments, observational and theoretical astronomers, and numerical relativists, for an informal discussion of how to maximize the science from "multi-messenger" gravitational wave astronomy. The planned format is to intersperse a relatively sparse schedule of talks with panel-lead open discussions of the challenges facing different aspects of the endeavor (data analysis, source modeling, transient surveys, detector enhancements, etc) to further stimulate discussion. Program Organizers are Adam Burrows, Sean McWilliams, Brian Metzger, Frans Pretorius, David Spergel, Anatoly Spitkovsky, and Paul Steinhardt.

    Princeton University/Institute for Advanced Study Planet/Exoplanet Discussion Group
    “Potluck Discussion of Exoplanet Papers”
    Location: Princeton University, Peyton Hall, Room 140
    Time: 12:30 PM
    Speaker(s): Everyone Welcome

    Description: The Monday Planet Lunch will be held weekly. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend. The format will be informal and inclusive, spanning at a minimum exoplanets, the solar system, and astrobiology. Moreover, we plan on discussing multiple topics each time we meet, and not to tether a lunch to one organized presentation each sitting. The purpose is to foster wide-ranging and cross-fertilizing interaction and to keep the local community up to date on developments across the spectrum of associated activities. Cullen Blake, Adam Burrows, and Dave Spiegel are the organizers.
