Hacking the Universe: Leveraging Data Science in High-Energy Astrophysics and Beyond

Salle de Conférence - IRAP Roche 9 avenue du Colonel Roche, Toulouse, FR

Daniela Huppenkothen - U. Amsterdam In data science, the concept of 'hacking' involves ingeniously repurposing solutions from diverse fields to tackle new and complex challenges. My group uses this approach to address fundamental astrophysical questions by drawing on methods and tools originally built for disparate problems in industry or other academic fields. This talk focuses […]

Daily Flaring Activity of the Black Hole at the Center of the Galaxy

Salle Lyot - IRAP Belin 14 avenue Edouard Belin, Toulouse, FR

Farhad Yusef - Northwestern U. It is clear that an under-luminous supermassive black hole (Sgr A*) with a mass of 4.2 million solar mass lies at the center of the Galaxy. Precise measurements taken at radio and infrared wavelengths over the last two decades have led to this conclusion.  Recent studies indicate deviations from Keplerian motion of a […]
