¡Un nuevo miércoles de Coloquio en el IFIS PUCV! Este 20 de noviembre desde las 11:00 AM en la sala 208 del Instituto, Michael Rutkowski, académico de Minnesota State University, USA, presentará “Galactic and Cosmic Evolution from the Ultraviolet perspective”.
Dejamos el abstract de la presentación:
I will provide a general review of the utility of UV observations, complimented by longer wavelength data, for understanding a number of broad questions concerning the evolution and impact of galaxies over cosmic time. I will introduce a variety of general astrophysics questions in the context of my ongoing efforts to answer open science questions, using UV-optical-near IR data obtained with NASA’s Hubble ST and James Webb ST, and ISRO’s AstroSat. Specifically, I’ll highlight efforts to understand the contribution of galaxies to cosmic reionization, the star formation histories of massive quiescent galaxies, dust attenuation in star forming galaxies, and the warm/hot phase in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies. Hopefully, if there is sufficient time, I’ll also discuss personal efforts to apply machine-learning tools to advance efforts in advance of start of the space-based “big data astrophysics” era. Note, this talk is intended to be approachable for the “non-expert”, though I regrettably must deliver it in English.
