Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2021 – Shobita Satyapal
VirtualSpeaker: Shobita Satyapal (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center/UMBC) Title: In Search of Elusive AGNs in Low Mass Galaxies and Mergers Abstract: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies, which manifest as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) when accreting, are now known to be a fundamental component of galaxies and play an important role in their evolution. Detecting complete samples of AGNs and
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2021 – Arindam Das
VirtualSpeaker: Arindam Das (Hokkaido University) Title: Neutrinos: a Bridge Among the Energy, Intensity and Cosmic Frontiers Abstract: Neutrino oscillation and flavor mixings have proved the existence of tiny neutrino mass. It strongly suggests scenarios involving the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). To explain the origin of the tiny neutrino mass a plethora of models have been
