Princeton University Astrophysical Sciences 2024 Spitzer Lecturer

The Past, Present, and Future of the Deep Universe
Brant Robertson
11:00am|Peyton Hall, Peyton Auditorium

Results from JWST have challenged our prior views of galaxy formation and supermassive black hole growth at the earliest cosmic epochs. Our knowledge of the distant universe has evolved rapidly over the last two years of science operations, and...

Princeton University Donald R. Hamilton Colloquium Series

Fracture insights into earthquake behavior
Camilla Cattania
4:00pm|** Special Location: Room 407 Jadwin Hall**

Abstract: Earthquakes exhibit complex behavior at all scales, from the evolution of slip during a single rupture lasting seconds to minutes, to the statistics of regional seismicity over years or centuries. The origin of complexity in fault behavior...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Forming Truncated Accretion Disks
Gibwa Musoke
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: Black hole X-ray binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei transition through a series of accretion states in a well-defined order. During a state transition, the accretion flow changes from a hot geometrically thick accretion flow, emitting a...

Princeton University Thunch Talk

Intracluster Light in the Core of z~2 Galaxy Proto-clusters
Stephane Werner (Durham University)
12:00pm|Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Intracluster light is thought to originate from stars that were ripped away from their parent galaxies by gravitational tides and galaxy interactions during the build up of the cluster. The stars from such interactions will accumulate over time, so...
