Abstract: The success of transit and RV surveys have shifted the exoplanet field from pure discovery to a combination of discovery, demographic analysis, and detailed characterization, especially for exoplanet atmospheres….

The discoveries of thousands of exoplanets have presented a number of puzzles about their properties and origins. Until recently, though, many of the assumptions made by planet formation models could…

Abstract: The initial stages of planet formation are slowed down in a turbulent disk. In particular, the growth rate of 10-100 km-sized planetesimals into larger bodies by accreting mm- to…

Refreshments at 3:45pm, talk begins at 4:00pm Abstract: Core-collapse supernovae are the luminous explosions that herald the death of massive stars. While core-collapse supernovae are observed on a daily basis…

Abstract: Hot gas density distributions can be fitted to the X-ray emission and absorption observations of the Milky Way to determine the mass and metallicity, mainly within 50 kpc. We…

Abstract: We are now in the era of exoplanet characterization. Over a decade ago the first exoplanet atmosphere was detected and since then we have been gathering compositional and temperature…

Abstract: Galaxies are commonly thought to acquire much of the gas that fuels star formation through streams of cold gas that flow along filaments of larger-scale structure. However, the universe’s…
