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
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

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2022 – Chao-Chin Yang
Speaker: Chao-Chin Yang (UNLV) Title: From Pebbles to Planets: A Tale of Protoplanetary Disks and Planetsimal Formation Abstract: Even though thousands of extrasolar planetary systems have been detected, a comprehensive picture of how planets are formed from their natal protoplanetary disks remains to be drawn. One of the most challenging stages is the formation of kilometer-scale planetesimals from

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium — Spring 2022 — Emanuele Usai
Speaker: – Emanuele Usai (Brown University) Title: Rare Top Quark Processes at the New Physics Frontier Abstract: The top quark was discovered in 1995 and plays a pivotal role in particle physics at the energy frontier at the LHC era. The simultaneous production of four top quarks is an example of a rare process in

Colloquium — Philip Chang — Electroweak Physics
Colloquium — Philip Chang — Electroweak Physics
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: Speaker: Dr. Philip Chang Title: “New Frontiers of Electroweak Physics at the LHC” Abstract: The unification of electroweak interaction took us step closer to Einstein's dream of a unified theory of nature. However, the details of the electroweak unification have remained elusive. Now, with the discovery of the Higgs boson, the
