    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar: The semiclassical energy outflux emerging from a collapsing shell

    Black Hole Initiative, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar Location: BHI seminar room Speaker: Noa Zilberman (Princeton University) Title: The semiclassical energy outflux emerging from a collapsing shell Abstract: When a compact object collapses to form a black hole, quantum field theory predicts the emission of an energy outflux to future null infinity, which later relaxes to Hawking radiation. Within […]

    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar: Quantum Effects Inside Black Holes

    Black Hole Initiative, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar Location: BHI seminar room Speaker: Noa Zilberman (Princeton University) Title: Quantum Effects Inside Black Holes Abstract: Astrophysical black holes are known to be rotating. Within classical General Relativity, the simplest spacetime solution (the Kerr solution) describing a rotating black hole reveals a traversable passage through an inner horizon – which in […]

    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar: Quantum Criticality in Black Hole Dynamics

    Black Hole Initiative, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Joint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar Location: BHI Seminar Room Speaker: Uri Kol, Harvard CMSA Title: Quantum Criticality in Black Hole Dynamics Abstract: Black hole perturbation theory captures a few important effects in the dynamics of binary mergers, such as tidal deformations and the decay of ringdown modes, as well as the physics of the photon ring. […]

    Foundation Seminar (Joint Seminar with BHI) Title: Searching for Dark Matter in the Sky Abstract: Astrophysical and cosmological observations have allowed us to measure the abundance of dark matter and have provided important information on its properties. I will discuss past, present and future efforts to map the gravitational footprint of dark matter throughout the […]
