ASTROPHYSICS

Armchair Astrophysics: Finding Physics Far and Wide Dr. Quyen Hart, Space Telescope Science Institute What do echoes, bubbles, and fireworks have to do with astrophysics? What do highway traffic jams and galaxy spiral arms have in common? Some of your everyday experiences can be explained using some basic physics concepts and some of our cosmic observations have analogues in what we see around us. The laws of physics are universal, so astronomers apply our understanding of physics here on Earth to everything in the universe. Join Dr. Quyen Hart of the Space Telescope Science Institute for “Armchair Astrophysics: Finding Physics Far and Wide” on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, to explore the physics of familiar phenomena and learn where the same physics are working “out there” in the cosmos. Armchairs are not required, but highly recommended. Recorded live on Tuesday, August 4, 2020. More information: www.stsci.edu/public-lectures

A study in 2014 found that 25% of people couldn't name a single female scientist.

To study a system as complex as the entire universe, astrophysicists need to be experts at extracting simple solutions from large data sets. What else could they do with this expertise? In an interdisciplinary talk, TED Fellow and astrophysicist Federica Bianco explains how she uses astrophysical data analysis to solve urban and social problems -- as well as stellar mysteries.

September 12, 2019 Phillips Auditorium Sera Markoff Host: Aneta Siemiginowska Abstract: The energy release from black holes is a well-known problem of keen interest to many astrophysics sub-fields, from high-energy astroparticle physics to cosmology and galaxy evolution. For instance we know from the mismatch between ‘gastrophysics-free’ cosmological simulations and observations of the largest scales of structure, that black holes manage to communicate with regions well beyond their gravitational sphere of influence, and that outflows (particularly jets for the largest scales) must be the mechanism. We also know that black holes of all scales experience cycles of activity where the dominant form of energy output changes, and that jet-dominated phases are associated with the highest energy particle acceleration. The problem currently lies in tying all these phenomena together and being able to uniquely predict outflow properties as a function of accretion and environmental properties. In this talk I will discuss a problem I have been puzzling over for some time, which is the link between event-horizon scales and the particle acceleration that “lights up” the jets we observe, which relates to our ability to connect recent Event Horizon Telescope images to observations at other wavebands. In particular I will focus on some recent studies about an older problem well-known in ‘AGN circles’, but that is now being explored in real-time using transient jets from black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs): what sets the so-called “dissipation zone” where the inner jets start to radiate? I will then discuss how these results can be used to inform our models of both EHT images, and help connect them to the multi-wavelength observations we perform each campaign, as well as increase our understanding of the source of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, TeV gamma-rays and neutrinos.

Among the millions of channels on YouTube is "Dr Becky", an astrophysicist who is trying to encourage others into STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). As a research fellow at the University of Oxford, Dr Becky Smethurst specialises in black holes, but outside the day job she posts videos on all sorts of space-themed questions. Her aim is to be someone in the world of scientific research that people can have a connection with. A film by Adam Paylor and Emily Ford Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog

Dr. Jedidah Isler has an unusual job: she studies supermassive black holes in space (they're called blazars). She’s also one of the few black women in astrophysics and is trying to change that. Dr. Isler, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College, shares her brief but spectacular take on why inclusivity is so important in science, technology, engineering and math.

Historically, no matter how crazy our theories got, there were always new ways to test them. Your theory predicts a new particle? Build a particle accelerator big enough to see it. But once your collider spans entire countries – like the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland – there’s only so much larger you can go - at least on the surface of the Earth. The LHC has thoroughly tested the standard model of particle physics. The last component of that model – the Higgs boson – was verified in 2013. But the standard model isn’t the end of the story – there MUST be a more fundamental theory that explains the origins of this rich family of particles. Proposals for such grand unified theories proliferate, unconstrained by even the tiniest hint of new physics from the LHC. Help translate our videos! https://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_...

We expect the most fundamental machinery to have the fewest possible moving parts – or free parameters. This is why the standard model of particle physics is considered incomplete. Its equations predict many things with stunning accuracy, but they first require us to tune many mathematical knobs and dials. We need to use physical measurement to fix 19 free parameters like the masses of particles. And then there’s gravity, which doesn’t fit into the standard model at all. So surely there exists a deeper set of cogs and wheels – a theory that brings all observable phenomena into the same mechanical framework. That would be a theory of everything, and this is the great hope of string theory.

Stream on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). SpaceTime 20180105 Series 21 Episode 02 *Solving the mystery of what came first? Astronomers may be a step closer to solving one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics – which came first the galaxy – or the supermassive black hole at its centre. The problem is do galaxies form first from the accumulation of stars, globular clusters, and molecular gas and dust clouds -- with densities at the galactic centre eventually becoming so high it forms a black hole. *Supermassive black hole stellar factory Astronomers have discovered 11 newly formed infant protostars within three light years of the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Black holes generate powerful gravitational tidal forces and intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation – environments far more conducive to destroying stars rather than creating them. *Mars may not be as dry as it seems A new study suggests water on Mars is being absorbed by the red planet’s rocks like a sponge. The findings reported in the journal Nature suggest that Martian basalt rocks can hold up to 25 percent more water than similar basalts on Earth. *SpaceX to launch Falcon Heavy shortly After more than 12 years of planning and development Space X is finally getting ready to fly its new Falcon Heavy launch vehicle. The 70-metre-tall reusable rocket is based around three Falcon 9 common booster core stages -- mounted side by side in a similar fashion to the Delta 4 heavy -- from which it will take the title as the world’s most powerful operational launch vehicle.
