SUMMARY:CGCA Seminar - Terrence Pierre Jacques
DESCRIPTION:Self-Consistent Simulations of the Bar-mode Instability in Rotating Quasi-Stable Neutron Stars\nDr. Terrence Pierre Jacques\nWest Virginia University \nRapidly rotating neutron stars (NSs) formed from core-collapse supernovae serve as excellent astrophysical laboratories for probing their equation of state (EoS) and internal structure. As these stars cool and contract\, their spin angular momentum may increase\, making them susceptible to the dynamical bar-mode instability. Once this instability sets in\, these stars experience a redistribution of matter and angular momentum\, producing gravitational waves that may be detectable by future observatories. \nIn this talk\, I will describe the numerical techniques used to model these quasi-stable NS configurations and demonstrate how gravitational wave signals produced from simulations can be used to constrain the NS EoS.

SUMMARY:Coffeeshop Astrophysics - Space Rocks and Stardust
DESCRIPTION:Space Rocks and Stardust\nSpeakers: Pratyasha Gitika\, Tamal RoyChowdhury\, Laila Vleeschower \nAre shooting stars really stars falling from the sky? Spoiler alert: they’re not! Those quick flashes of light are actually tiny bits of space dust and rock burning up in our atmosphere. In this talk\, we’ll take a journey through the leftovers of the formation of our Solar System: asteroids\, meteorites\, and comets. We’ll talk about how these cosmic “crumbs” sometimes light up our skies as meteor showers\, how a rock you could hold in your hand might be older than the Earth itself\, and how one very big space rock may have changed the path of life’s evolution on Earth by wiping out the dinosaurs. \nMore information is available on the Coffeeshop Astrophysics website.

SUMMARY:CGCA Seminar - Prof. Sharon Morsink
DESCRIPTION:The masses and radii of the neutron stars observed by NICER\nProf. Sharon Morsink\nUniversity of Alberta \nNeutron stars are the densest known gravitationally-stable objects in the Universe. Their strong gravitational fields\, rapid rotation rates\, and supra-nuclear central densities allow for a fascinating interplay between general relativistic effects and nuclear physics theory. Pulse-profile modeling is a technique that uses the gravitationally-lensed X-ray flux emitted from hot spots on the neutron star’s surface to infer its mass and radius. General relativity is a crucial ingredient in this analysis. The Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) is a NASA X-ray telescope mounted on the International Space Station. NICER is a timing instrument designed to make the measurements required to implement pulse-profile modelling. In this talk\, I will give an overview of how NICER data is used to infer a neutron star’s radius (and its mass)\, along with the latest results and future observations of other pulsars.
