Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil
Speaker: Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil (University of Chicago) Title: The Smallest and Faintest Galaxies: The New Frontier in Dark Matter and Galaxy Formation Studies Abstract: The smallest and faintest galaxies around the Milky Way are the most ancient, most metal-poor, and most dark-matter-dominated systems known. These extreme objects offer unique access to small scales where the stellar and dark matter content can be studied simultaneously. They hold

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Chris Ashall
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Chris Ashall
Speaker: Chris Ashall (University of Hawai'i) Title: The Variety of Thermonuclear Supernova Abstract: Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) mark the demise of white dwarfs (WD). These cosmic explosions release as much luminous energy as the sun produces over its entire lifetime. As cauldrons of nucleosynthesis, SNe Ia provide the interstellar medium with Fe-group elements and

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – David Nataf
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – David Nataf
Speaker: David Nataf (Johns Hopkins University) Title: On the Milky Way’s Extinction Curve and Oldest Stellar Populations Abstract: The study of Galactic astronomy is being revolutionized by the plethora of incredible data from various new surveys, facilities, and the use of modern probabilistic methods. In this talk of two parts, I first describe efforts to

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Svea Hernandez
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Svea Hernandez
Speaker: Svea Hernandez (Space Telescope Science Institute) Title: Uncovering the History of Galaxies and Metals by Exploiting the Power of Nearby Laboratories Abstract: Precise metallicities and chemical abundances of the different components in galaxies are critical for understanding galaxy formation, feedback and interstellar/intergalactic chemical enrichment. I take advantage of the unique FUV spectroscopic capabilities of
