Astrophysics Calendar

The calendar is a collection of events hosted by The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University, and other local institutions and groups focused on Astrophysics and Astronomy. Emails are sent out every Friday with the calendar for the upcoming week and daily emails are sent with each days events. If you are interested in being added to the calendar distribution list, please contact Amanda Cenker, Academic Assistant at IAS.

Princeton University Machine Learning in Physics

Supervised and unsupervised algorithms for measuring animal behavior
Joshua Shaevitz
4:30pm|Jadwin Hall Room A10

For the past decade, my group has worked on supervised and unsupervised algorithms that take video data of behaving animals as inputs and discover stereotyped dynamics in the motion of body parts. We have used these techniques to study the patterns...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Micromirror confinement of sub-TeV cosmic rays in galaxy clusters
Patrick Reichherzer
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Recent observations reveal that cosmic rays (CRs) are more tightly confined in various astrophysical systems (e.g. radio bubbles) than current theories predict. I show that microscale magnetic fluctuations, particularly from the mirror instability...

Princeton University Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Seminar Series

2030STEM: A Project to Accelerate a More Diverse STEM Workforce
Jackie Faherty
2:00pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS 407 seminar room (4th floor)

The 2030STEM project was created in 2020 as a response to the call to action which happened surrounding the death of George Floyd. With an award from the Alfred P Sloan Foundation as well as the Heising Simons Foundation, our team of co-founders...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Colloquium

Previewing Roman's Survey of Stellar Halos Using the FOGGIE Simulations
Anna Wright
3:30pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

Over the next decade, the astronomical community will be deploying a number of instruments that will revolutionize our understanding of the low surface brightness universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, in particular, will combine extreme...

Princeton University Galread [Galactic/Extragalactic Reading Group]

TBA
11:00am|Zoom and Peyton Hall, Grand Central

Each week, we hold a relatively informal seminar/discussion series with an emphasis on extra-galactic and large-scale structure astrophysics.

During Galread a leader/visitor presents a recent paper to the discussion group. The PDF of the paper is...

Princeton University Gravity Initiative Seminar Series

Bubbles of AdS as Black Hole Mimickers
Suvendu Giri
12:30pm|Princeton University, Jadwin Hall, Princeton Gravity Initiative, 4th Floor

Abstract: I will present a case for the striking resemblance between bubbles of anti-de Sitter (AdS) within Minkowski spacetime and black holes. These solutions of Einstein’s equations are motivated by high-energy physics and lack horizons. We will...
