A Compute-Intensive Exploration and Characterization of Our Celestial Wonders
Tuesday, April 27, 2021 4 PM
About this Event
Tansu Daylan (Hosted by Krawczynski) from the Kali Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, MIT, will be presenting this physics colloquium.
Our species has been contemplating the celestial sphere for millennia and achieved numerous observational and theoretical breakthroughs toward a unified and self-consistent description of the physical cosmos. At the cosmological scales, we witness extensive and compelling evidence for dark matter whose apparent absence of non-gravitational interactions remains an intriguing puzzle. Meanwhile closer to home, we discover and characterize planets beyond our solar system, which contextualize life and our planet Earth as well as yielding appealing targets for biosignature and technosignature searches. In this talk, I will highlight my excitement for and contributions to these compherensive investigations.
