ITC Special Seminar

Event
Yinhao Wu (University of Leicester) "Why We Need a New Generation Framework for Migration in Accretion Disks -- Unusual Type I Migration in Turbulent or Windy Disks" The study of the migration of low-mass companions embedded in accretion disks is of great...

ITC Special Seminar - Tanmay Vachaspati (ASU)

Event
Search for Intergalactic Magnetic Fields and Implications Abstract: The ongoing search for intergalactic magnetic fields using blazar observations suggests field strength in the 10^(-14) to 10^{-17} G range on tens of Mpc length scales. Such fields can...

ITC Special Seminar - Jason Dexter (MPE)

Event
"A new era for optical interferometry with VLTI GRAVITY" Abstract: The second generation instrument GRAVITY uses phase-referencing to achieve a > 100x improvement in sensitivity when combining the 4 8m telescopes at the VLTI. I will discuss science cases...

ITC Special Seminar - Konstantin Batygin

Event
"Schrödinger Evolution of Self-Gravitating Disks" An understanding of the long-term evolution of self-gravitating disks ranks among the classic outstanding problems of astrophysics. In this talk, I will show that under suitable assumptions, the secular...

ITC Special Seminar - Chris Stott (ManSat)

Event
Lunar observatories as the next giant leap for astronomy? Abstract: The practical utilization of the Lunar surface as a platform for astronomy has long been advocated, but has faced a series of potentially insurmountable barriers focused on technology...

ITC Special Seminar - John Clauson

Event
Missileman The Secret Life of Cold War Engineer WALLACE CLAUSON John Clauson grew up believing he was the son of an IBM salesman. Though the family moved often and John’s father, Wallace Clauson, rarely spoke of his work, his family never questioned him...

ITC Special Seminar - Yidong Xu

Event
"The Neutral Islands during the Late Epoch of Reionization" Abstract: Th e growth of isolated ionized regions during the early stage of reionization is well described by the “bubble model”. However, the basic assumption of isolated and spherical ionized...

ITC Special Seminar: Bing Zhang (UNLV)

Event
"Charged compact star mergers, fast radio bursts, and relativistic astronomy" Abstract: I will discuss three topics. First, I will discuss the effect of the charge of a compact object in binary compact star mergers (BH-BH, NS-BH & NS-NS) and argue that a...

ITC Special Seminar

Event
Prof. Emma Ryan-Weber "Probing Reionization with high-z metals" Understanding how chemical elements are distributed in time and space across the universe provides key observational markers for the first stars. I'll summarise my team's recent efforts in...

ITC Special Seminar - Kyle Kremer (Northwestern)

Event
How Black Holes Shape Globular Clusters Recent numerical simulations and observational indications have suggested that globular clusters (GCs) may contain large populations of stellar-mass black holes (BHs). This has important implications to...
