Seminar Abstract:
PILOT: Plasma Imaging, LOcal measurement, and Tomographic Experiment, a Mission Concept for Transformational Multi-scale Observations of Cold Plasma Dynamics in Earth’s Magnetosphere
When
-
Abstract: Magnetospheric physics has a massive problem: we have not yet determined the fundamental processes that govern plasma mass and energy flow through the terrestrial magnetosphere, nor the degree to which these flows regulate key magnetospheric subsystems. Knowledge of these processes is critical to understanding the mass loss rate of Earth’s atmosphere, as well as for determining the role that a planetary magnetic field plays in atmospheric retention, and therefore habitability, for Earth-like planets beyond the solar system.
Past and Future Exploration of Enceladus and Europa: an Icy Dust Analyzer Perspective
When
-
Abstract: Enceladus has become the iconic example of an active icy moon where the subsurface ocean cryo-volcanically communicates with the surface and in fact the surrounding space. In the first part of the talk, the main findings from the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) and other instruments about Enceladus after the end of the Cassini mission are presented.
The Geologic Wonderland of Pluto and the Largest Cryovolcanic Constructs in the Solar System
When
-
Abstract: In July of 2015 the New Horizons spacecraft flew through the Pluto system, initiating detailed exploration of the Kuiper belt. Pluto turned out to be a world of remarkable geologic diversity, and its surfaces display a range of ages, suggesting geologic activity of various forms has persisted for much of Pluto’s history. Pluto has some familiar features (e.g., tectonics, cratering) but also features that are unique (e.g., a giant convecting nitrogen ice sheet, and large cryovolcanic constructs).

Towards an Exoplanets Demographics Ladder Seminar Abstract:
When
-
The NASA Kepler mission has provided its final planet candidate catalogue, the K2 mission has contributed another four years’ worth of data, and the NASA TESS mission has been churning out new planet discoveries at a rapid pace. The demographics of the exoplanet systems probed by these transiting exoplanet missions are complemented by the demographics probed by other techniques, including radial velocity, microlensing, and direct imaging.

**********
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.
