    1. 31. The Universe From Beginning to End
      Brian Schmidt (Australian National University)
      22/10/2026, 18:00

      Dr. Brian Schmidt, renowned astrophysicist and Nobel Prize winner, will present on his team’s discovery that the expansion of our universe is accelerating, a finding that changed our understanding of the universe by showing that about 70 percent of the universe’s mass is “dark energy.”

      Dr. Brian Schmidt is an American Australian astrophysicist at the Australian National University’s Mount...

    12. 11. Search for Dark Matter in an Extended Nuclear Recoil Energy Window with LUX-ZEPLIN -- Dan Hunt
      Dan Hunt (University of Texas at Austin)
      23/10/2026, 14:15

      LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a 7-tonne dual-phase xenon time projection chamber, located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. While LZ typically searches for low-energy nuclear recoils indicative of a spin-independent WIMP, an extended nuclear recoil energy window up to ~270 keV enables searches for alternative models of dark matter, where low-energy recoils are...

    19. 17. Probing Strong-Field Physics in X-ray Emission from Magnetized Neutron Stars
      Hoa Dinh (Rice University)
      23/10/2026, 17:20

      During the last five years, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has provided intensity and polarization information on the soft X-ray signals from the surfaces of seven magnetars. This multi-faceted dataset bolsters the ability to probe magnetar geometry and physics with new levels of insight. In support of these advances, we have developed and enhanced a sophisticated Monte Carlo...

    21. 19. Maping the nanohertz gravitational sky
      Prof. Nihan Pol (Texas Tech University)
      24/10/2026, 09:00

      Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have announced evidence for the presence of a nanohertz gravitational wave background (GWB). However, we do not yet know the source of this GWB. In this talk, after a brief introduction to PTAs, I will describe how spatial mapping of the GWB can provide information beyond that available from just its spectrum. I will also introduce some new methods and insights in...
