Instead, it is because our hands scatter light strongly. Interestingly, light scattering in tissues may look random but their trajectories are deterministic. As such, it is possible to create a situation where light scattered from a tissue will retrace their paths through the tissue. This can be accomplished... More > Galaxy evolution in groups and clusters in a hierarchical UniverseSeminar | October 2 | 1:10 p.m. | B1 Hearst Field Annex Andrew Wetzel, Yale Satellite galaxies in groups and clusters play a critical role in the picture of galaxy evolution. As many as a third of all galaxies are satellites, and satellite star formation quenching is the dominant process in building the red-sequence population at low stellar mass. I will present an observational and theoretical investigation into the evolution of star formation in satellite galaxies,...

Supernovae Reveal an Accelerating Universe: The Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture in AstronomySpecial Event | October 3 | 5 p.m. | Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Engineering Center Adam Riess, Professor, Johns Hopkins University & STScI In 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that our Universe is expanding. Eighty years later, the Space Telescope that bears his name is being used to study an even more surprising phenomenon: that the expansion is speeding up. The origin of this effect is not known, but is broadly attributed to a type of "dark energy" first posited to exist by Albert Einstein and now dominating the mass-energy budget of...

Diffuse Supernova Neutrino BackgroundColloquium: Astronomy Colloquia | October 11 | 4 p.m. | 2 LeConte Hall John Beacom, Ohio State University The diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) is the weak glow of MeV neutrinos and antineutrinos from distant core-collapse supernovae. The DSNB has not been detected yet, but the Super-Kamiokande upper limit on the electron antineutrino flux is close to predictions, now quite precise, based on astrophysical data. If Super-Kamiokande is modified with dissolved gadolinium to reduce detector...

However, neutrinos can more than make up for these feeble interactions with huge numbers Students - Graduate, Students - Undergraduate Tuesday, October 16, 2012Space Junk 3–D FilmFilm - Documentary | September 4, 2012 – January 6, 2013 every day with exceptions | Lawrence Hall of Science, 3-D Theater / Auditorium Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) Take a trip to outer space to learn more about the space junk Children, General Public All Audiences Tickets $4 after admission. $4 Galaxy quenching and the remarkable stability of the velocity dispersion function since z~1.5Seminar | October 16 | 1:10 p.m. | B1 Hearst Field Annex Rachel Bezanson, Yale Massive galaxies have evolved dramatically in the last 10 billion years, undergoing dramatic changes to their sizes, shapes and stellar populations. In the context of this evolution, I will argue that velocity dispersion is the most fundamental property of galaxies, especially when attempting to identify unique populations of galaxies across cosmic time. Although directly measuring velocity...

Such cosmic ingratitude was held to be rare, but the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has uncovered a swarm of energetic pulsars vaporizing their partners. It seems that this is a relatively common, but hidden, end-point of close binary evolution, and key to understanding the millisecond pulsar...
