SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium - Amanda Baylor
DESCRIPTION:Early Warning of Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star Mergers\nAmanda Baylor\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nFor the past decade\, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories have been making detections of ripples in the fabric of spacetime from the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. Mergers involving at least one neutron star could also produce electromagnetic counterparts which may reveal new insights into the physics of these astrophysical phenomena.  However\, if electromagnetic observatories are not pointed at the location of the source prior to merger\, we miss vital information about the physics of merger.  This presents a need for early-warning alerts\, which are alerts that are sent to observatories once a gravitational wave has been detected but before the objects collide and merge.  \nThis talk will provide an overview of gravitational-wave physics from detection to data analysis and discuss the prospects for early-warning detection of neutron star mergers.

SUMMARY:Coffeeshop Astrophysics - Nebulae: From Cradle to Grave\, and Cradle Again
DESCRIPTION:Nebulae: From Cradle to Grave\, and Cradle Again\nSpeakers: Calvin Dear\, Jason Vazquez\, Caleb Ogle \nHave you ever looked at a stunning picture from NASA full of swirling colors\, almost like it should be hanging in an art museum? Chances are\, you’re looking at a nebula. Nebulae are enormous clouds of dust and gas out in space. Some nebulae are the aftermath of a supernova\, the explosive death of a massive star. Others serve as the birthplace of many new stars\, formed by the gravitational pull of gas and radiative push of their first stars. Some nebulae even act as both. Join us as we explore nebulae and their role in star formation\, and of course\, look at many breathtaking pictures. \nMore information is available on the Coffeeshop Astrophysics website.
