Speaker: Jeremy Lewis Smallwood (Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan) Title: The stellar environment’s influence on protoplanetary discs and planet formation Note different date and venue   Abstract: The majority of stars born in dense stellar clusters are part of binary star systems. Circumbinary discs of gas and dust commonly surround binary star

Speaker: Jenna Samuel (UT Austin) Title: Simulating our Intergalactic Neighborhood and Beyond Abstract: Low-mass or dwarf galaxies far outnumber the more massive Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) within our intergalactic neighborhood, the Local Group (LG). These low-mass galaxies are  some of the most dark matter-dominated systems known, making them excellent astrophysical objects for small-scale
