ITC Luncheon

Event
Boryana Hadzhiyska (CfA) "Limitations to the ‘basic’ HOD model and beyond” Jack Steiner (CfA) “Fast Spectral-Timing Analysis of Black Hole X-ray Binaries with NICER” Mario Jurić (UW) "Astronomy Data Commons: Archives in the Clouds” Paul Schechter (MIT)...

ITC Seminar - Kenta Hotokezaka (Princeton)

Event
Late-time kilonovae and superluminal jet in neutron star merger Abstract: The discovery of electromagnetic counterparts of the first GW neutron star merger event, GW170817, has opened a new era of gravitational-wave astronomy. The observed light curve and...

ITC Seminar - Hannah Ubler (MPE)

Event
Kinematics of z~1–2 star-forming galaxies with KMOS^3D: intrinsic velocity dispersion Abstract: Kinematics are a powerful tool to study galaxy evolution because they are directly affected by transformative processes such as accretion, gravitational...

ITC Seminar - Joao Mendonca (Tech Univ of Denmark)

Event
Exploring the Climate of Exoplanets with OASIS In the last two decades, the astrophysical community discovered a multitude of planets orbiting other stars. The variety of planetary environments that these exoplanets may harbour is still unknown. Most...

ITC Seminar - Patrick Mullen (Illinois)

Event
Magnetized Models of Moon-Forming Giant Impacts Abstract: The canonical giant impact hypothesis suggests that ~4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized impactor struck the proto-Earth in an off-centered collision. The impact debris, comprised of melted and...

ITC Seminar - Melinda Soares-Furtado (Princeton)

Event
Probing the Bulk Composition of Exoplanets with Engulfment Events As a star evolves away from the main sequence and expands in size, close-orbiting substellar companions are engulfed in the process. While such events are not uncommon, the short tidal...

ITC Seminar - Maryame El Moutamid (Cornell)

Event
"Evidence of differential rotation inside Saturn from waves of its rings" The rotation rate of Saturn is not well constrained. This rate has been estimated based on several investigations of its shape (Anderson and Schubert 2007, Read et al., 2009 and...

ITC Colloquium - Carl Rodriguez (ITC) via Zoom

Event
"The Lives and Deaths of Star Clusters, and the Gravitational Waves They Make Along the Way" The lives of massive star clusters are inevitably linked to the assembly and evolution of the galaxies they inhabit. While significant progress has been made over...
