SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:Doyee’s Title: Analysis of Quasar Outflows Found in Ultraviolet Spectra \n\nQuasars can affect their surrounding environment through a process known as active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback\, through which the quasar can curtail the formation of stars\, regulate the evolution of its host galaxy\, and affect its surrounding environment in other ways. One possible mechanism for this process is a quasar’s outflow\, which can be observed as blueshifted absorption troughs in the quasar’s spectrum. With enough kinetic power\, an outflow can contribute to AGN feedback\, regulating star formation and host galaxy evolution. Analyzing the troughs of outflows found in ultraviolet spectra of quasars\, observed both from the ground and in space\, can reveal their physical characteristics\, as well as their potential ability to contribute to feedback effects.\n\nDavid’s Title: Exploring Ultra-Compact X-Ray Binaries with Reflection Modeling\n\nLow mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are X-ray sources which contain a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accreting material from a stellar companion. A subclass of LMXB called ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) contain a degenerate stellar companion such as a white dwarf (WD)\, resulting in a much shorter orbital period. We study one UCXB candidate and one verified UCXB using a process called reflection modeling\, wherein the X-ray spectrum is modeled with components representing both direct emission and emission that is reprocessed by the accretion disk. This process can allow us to better understand the geometry and behavior of accreting systems\, with UCXBs probing high energy accretion on some of the smallest size scales.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Monkeys in Extremis: Building Multi-Omics Models for Characterizing Adaptations to Environmental Stress in Wild Primates
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout this seminar: Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering local ecologies... how vulnerable or robust are primates\, including humans\, to environmental variation\, and what can this tell us about developmental impacts on lifetime health? Prof. Schmitt uses behavioral ecology\, morphometric\, and multiple -omics methods to study mechanistic and adaptive aspects of these questions in two non-human primate models: savanna monkeys (Chlorocebus spp.)\, and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix spp.). His work with Chlorocebus demonstrates that there are both heritable and epigenetic components to developmental patterns that help us to better understand the interplay between extremes in resource quality and energetics\, life history\, and metabolic disease. His developing work on Lagothrix expands the use of portable genomics technologies to delve into how diet\, sociality\, and genetic variation interact to enable the energetics of high-elevation living while also potentially constraining climatic adaptability.
