Astro Colloquium - Data At Your Fingertips: Using Citizen Science in Undergraduate Astronomy Classrooms

538 Davey Lab
2023-03-22

Molly Simon - With big data on the rise, research teams across a multitude of disciplines are left with more data than they have time to analyze independently. Citizen science is an invaluable tool that involves crowdsourcing aspects of the data analysis process, enabling these research teams to solve problems involving large quantities of data more efficiently while simultaneously taking advantage of the inherently human talent for pattern recognition and anomaly detection.

Condensed Atomic Molecular Physics (CAMP) Seminar - Quantum Phenomena in the Landau Levels of Atomically-Thin Transition Metal Dicalcogenides

Zoom: https://psu.zoom.us/j/96178311702?pwd=bWNHRXE5QUdkbTVEY1F3dFlhR3JvZz09
2023-03-20

Landau levels offer a neat model system to study emergent quantum phases, owing to the dominating Coulomb interactions and tunable orbital wavefunctions. In atomically-thin transition metal dicalcogenide, the well-resolved and -controlled spin, valley and layer degree of freedom further enriches the physics that can be explored. In this talk, I’ll discuss a few examples in WSe2: first, a bilayer WSe2 allows selective carrier population of the individual layers; when the filling factor of the two layers is an integer number, it manifests as a natural platform for interlayer exciton condensate. Second, a large imbalance in the population of two (pseudo)spins gives rise to spin-dependent transport in partially filled Landau levels - the spin-minority carriers are much less mobile than the spin-majority carriers. We explain such behavior using a polaron picture.

I will explore the possibility that the couplings describing the strengths of the Standard Model gauge forces take different values at very early times. As I will show, such a scenario is typically consistent with current observations if the variation happens early enough, and can cause us to radically rethink processes such as dark matter production or the generation of the matter-anti-matter asymmetry.

I will discuss the need to extend the Standard Model of particle physics in order to describe the dark matter, a mysterious substance whose existence can be inferred from cosmological measurements, but whose fundamental nature remains unknown. I’ll discuss how a broad strategy of searching for dark matter using techniques from particle physics and astronomy maximize our chances of successfully discovering its identity, and what this could mean for future research in particle physics.

Data is one of the fundamental quantities on which progress in astronomy is predicated. Yet there is often a disproportionate emphasis on immediate science results over the development of robust methods to process and even model the underlying data. In this talk I will present a case study demonstrating the benefits of investing in modern software development for data modeling – the challenge of imaging in radio interferometry. I will first overview the standard approach to imaging, wherein telescopes such as ALMA are purpose-built to observe at generational resolution and sensitivity, while the software that images the data uses an empirical, decades-old modeling framework that does not leverage the highest resolution and sensitivity information. Then I will discuss two modern, open-source software packages designed to perform imaging more accurately, quickly and autonomously, within a simple and well-documented software architecture. Comparing their performance on ALMA observations of protoplanetary disks to the standard imaging approach, I will show how these algorithms employ statistical techniques to simultaneously achieve higher resolution and sensitivity in their reconstructed images. Finally I will preview the new science these tools are driving in the protoplanetary disk field, including the Bayesian inference made possible by self-consistently imaging hundreds of datasets at high fidelity.

Speaker: Debanjan Chowdhury, Cornell Title: Useful Bounds on Superconducting Tc Abstract: Superconductivity in the limit of a vanishing bandwidth in isolated bands is a classic example of a non-perturbative problem, where BCS theory does not apply. What sets the superconducting phase stiffness, and relatedly the transition temperature, in this limit is of both fundamental and practical interest. This question has become especially relevant with the discovery of superconductivity in moiré materials. I will begin by examining critically the relevance of various proposed bounds on the superconducting transition temperature and propose a non-perturbative upper bound on the integrated optical spectral weight for partially filled electronic flat bands with generic density-density interactions. I will also present numerically exact results for the interplay between superconductivity and various competing orders in models of interacting flat-bands.

Marshall Perrin Abstract: After decades of development by a globe-spanning team, JWST is now providing an unprecedented view of the cosmos. In this talk I will describe our experience thus far operating this new great observatory: from mission design history and development, to prelaunch preparations, to launch and commissioning, and now into the first of many years of mission operations at the Earth-Sun L2 point. I will provide a first-hand look at the processes and teamwork we used to deploy the observatory and align its segmented mirror system, and discuss some of the surprises (both challenges and good news) encountered during commissioning. Even from early in telescope commissioning, this observatory's tremendous power and sensitivity were already apparent with spectacular images and spectra. Now during science operations, we continue to learn more about observatory hardware performance; this is still early days in our adventure with JWST. I will close with a look at (a small fraction of) some of the early science results with JWST, with particular attention to our early imaging observations of nearby exoplanetary systems.

Title: GRMHD Simulations of Neutrino-Driven Winds From Proto-Neutron Stars Abstract: Formed in the aftermath of a core-collapse supernova or neutron star merger, hot proto-neutron stars (PNSs) launch neutrino-driven winds within milliseconds, with the winds themselves lasting for tens of seconds. The PNS wind has long been considered a potential site for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements (Z>60) via the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). Previous work has found that such winds are not favorable for r-process element production. I will present results of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the PNS wind with weak interactions, advanced microphysics and neutrino absorption. I will discuss how physical mechanisms of rapid rotation and strong magnetic fields of a PNS may independently affect wind dynamics and how these effects may change r- process viability.

Speaker: Ivan Agullo (LSU) Title: On Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory Abstract: It is believed that even the simplest states in the simplest field theories are highly entangled. The main support for this statement comes from the Reeh-Schlieder theorem and calculations of entanglement entropy between a region of space and its complement. I will argue that these results do not provide much information about the entanglement between individual local degrees of freedom. I will then present a way of quantifying such entanglement and show that entanglement in field theory is significantly less ubiquitous than it is commonly believed.

Lucas Beaufore, University of Chicago The High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment (HELIX) is a balloon-borne magnet spectrometer which seeks to address critical questions in cosmic ray physics by measuring the chemical and isotopic abundances of key light isotopes in the cosmic ray flux. One such measurement, that of the ratio of Be-10/Be-9, will provide strong discrimination between cosmic ray propagation models. In its first of two planned flights, HELIX will measure these abundances up to the ~3 GeV/n region. The instrument consists of a 1T superconducting magnet, a gas particle tracking system placed in the bore of the magnet, an aerogel RICH with a focal plane made of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), a scintillating fiber hodoscope, and a scintillating paddle time-of-flight system. This talk will cover the design, construction, and calibration of HELIX's novel RICH as well as a brief overview of HELIX's payload.

Condensed Atomic Molecular Physics (CAMP) Seminar - Quantum Phenomena in the Landau Levels of Atomically-Thin Transition Metal Dicalcogenides

Zoom: https://psu.zoom.us/j/96178311702?pwd=bWNHRXE5QUdkbTVEY1F3dFlhR3JvZz09
2023-03-20

Landau levels offer a neat model system to study emergent quantum phases, owing to the dominating Coulomb interactions and tunable orbital wavefunctions. In atomically-thin transition metal dicalcogenide, the well-resolved and -controlled spin, valley and layer degree of freedom further enriches the physics that can be explored. In this talk, I’ll discuss a few examples in WSe2: first, a bilayer WSe2 allows selective carrier population of the individual layers; when the filling factor of the two layers is an integer number, it manifests as a natural platform for interlayer exciton condensate. Second, a large imbalance in the population of two (pseudo)spins gives rise to spin-dependent transport in partially filled Landau levels - the spin-minority carriers are much less mobile than the spin-majority carriers. We explain such behavior using a polaron picture.

2023-03-22

Molly Simon - With big data on the rise, research teams across a multitude of disciplines are left with more data than they have time to analyze independently. Citizen science is an invaluable tool that involves crowdsourcing aspects of the data analysis process, enabling these research teams to solve problems involving large quantities of data more efficiently while simultaneously taking advantage of the inherently human talent for pattern recognition and anomaly detection.

Data is one of the fundamental quantities on which progress in astronomy is predicated. Yet there is often a disproportionate emphasis on immediate science results over the development of robust methods to process and even model the underlying data. In this talk I will present a case study demonstrating the benefits of investing in modern software development for data modeling – the challenge of imaging in radio interferometry. I will first overview the standard approach to imaging, wherein telescopes such as ALMA are purpose-built to observe at generational resolution and sensitivity, while the software that images the data uses an empirical, decades-old modeling framework that does not leverage the highest resolution and sensitivity information. Then I will discuss two modern, open-source software packages designed to perform imaging more accurately, quickly and autonomously, within a simple and well-documented software architecture. Comparing their performance on ALMA observations of protoplanetary disks to the standard imaging approach, I will show how these algorithms employ statistical techniques to simultaneously achieve higher resolution and sensitivity in their reconstructed images. Finally I will preview the new science these tools are driving in the protoplanetary disk field, including the Bayesian inference made possible by self-consistently imaging hundreds of datasets at high fidelity.

I will discuss the need to extend the Standard Model of particle physics in order to describe the dark matter, a mysterious substance whose existence can be inferred from cosmological measurements, but whose fundamental nature remains unknown. I’ll discuss how a broad strategy of searching for dark matter using techniques from particle physics and astronomy maximize our chances of successfully discovering its identity, and what this could mean for future research in particle physics.

I will explore the possibility that the couplings describing the strengths of the Standard Model gauge forces take different values at very early times. As I will show, such a scenario is typically consistent with current observations if the variation happens early enough, and can cause us to radically rethink processes such as dark matter production or the generation of the matter-anti-matter asymmetry.

Title: Zero Metallicity in Zero CPU Hours Abstract: I will begin with a pedagogical review of the theory of the formation of the first stars and the current open questions in the field. I will then present a new, analytic model for the formation of these stars which clarifies the essential physics. Despite its simplicity, this model agrees with the stellar mass predicted by expensive radiation-hydrodynamical simulations to within a factor of a few over the entire relevant parameter space.

Title: GRMHD Simulations of Neutrino-Driven Winds From Proto-Neutron Stars Abstract: Formed in the aftermath of a core-collapse supernova or neutron star merger, hot proto-neutron stars (PNSs) launch neutrino-driven winds within milliseconds, with the winds themselves lasting for tens of seconds. The PNS wind has long been considered a potential site for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements (Z>60) via the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). Previous work has found that such winds are not favorable for r-process element production. I will present results of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the PNS wind with weak interactions, advanced microphysics and neutrino absorption. I will discuss how physical mechanisms of rapid rotation and strong magnetic fields of a PNS may independently affect wind dynamics and how these effects may change r- process viability.

Speaker: Ivan Agullo (LSU) Title: On Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory Abstract: It is believed that even the simplest states in the simplest field theories are highly entangled. The main support for this statement comes from the Reeh-Schlieder theorem and calculations of entanglement entropy between a region of space and its complement. I will argue that these results do not provide much information about the entanglement between individual local degrees of freedom. I will then present a way of quantifying such entanglement and show that entanglement in field theory is significantly less ubiquitous than it is commonly believed.

2022-11-08

Lucas Beaufore, University of Chicago The High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment (HELIX) is a balloon-borne magnet spectrometer which seeks to address critical questions in cosmic ray physics by measuring the chemical and isotopic abundances of key light isotopes in the cosmic ray flux. One such measurement, that of the ratio of Be-10/Be-9, will provide strong discrimination between cosmic ray propagation models. In its first of two planned flights, HELIX will measure these abundances up to the ~3 GeV/n region. The instrument consists of a 1T superconducting magnet, a gas particle tracking system placed in the bore of the magnet, an aerogel RICH with a focal plane made of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), a scintillating fiber hodoscope, and a scintillating paddle time-of-flight system. This talk will cover the design, construction, and calibration of HELIX's novel RICH as well as a brief overview of HELIX's payload.
