| From the Table-Top to the Cosmos: Searching High and Low for Dark Matter | |
| Hongwan Liu, MIT | |
| Event Type: Informal HEP Talk | |
| Time: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM | |
| Location: 726 Broadway, 902, Lg Conf | |
| Abstract: In this talk, I will explore two recent developments in the search for dark matter. First, I will discuss how the 21-cm global signal measurement constrains the potential impact of dark matter annihilation/decay on the thermal history of the universe. I will also explain how to accurately compute such modifications to the baryon temperature in the early universe using a soon-to-be-released public code called DarkHistory. Second, I will discuss the Axion Detection with Birefringent Cavities (ADBC) experiment, which aims to observe rotations induced by axion dark matter in the polarization of light using optical interferometry techniques | |

| New views on the Galaxy and its satellites from the Gaia space mission | |
| Amina Helmi, Kapteyn Institute, Groningen | |
| Event Type: Big Apple Colloquium | |
| Time: 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM | |
| Location: AMNH, TBA | |
| Abstract: The recent 2nd data release of the Gaia mission is revolutionizing our understanding of the Milky Way and its constituents. In this talk, I will highlight a few of the first results stemming from the analysis of this truly spectacular dataset. In particular, I will focus on what we have learned about the dynamics and assembly of the Milky Way and its satellites thus far. Talk will be followed by a 3D fly-thu of the full GAIA data set using the hi-res projection system of the Hayden Theater. ************* LOCATION: Rose Center for Earth and Space, American Museum of Natural History Planetarium Entrance: 81st Street drive, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue Alert Security Guards that you are here to attend the Big Apple Colloquium Reception and they will direct you downstairs. | |
