A Tour of Dust in (Simulated) Galaxies
When
-
Abstract: I last came to CU in 2015, and talked almost entirely about molecules in galaxies. Now I'm 8 years older, and 8 years more esoteric: 2023 Desika is going to talk all about dust! But seriously, dust is awesome. It impacts almost every astrophysical observation that you make, is a critical ingredient to thermal balance in the ISM, and is used to trace obscured star formation at all redshifts. I'll present the results from a new model for dust in galaxy simula
Linking Planet Formation to Exoplanet Composition

Abstract: For the past decade we have begun to explore the origin of planetary compositions which are set in the natal protoplanetary disk.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
