SUMMARY:CASSA Colloquium 11: Catching a star: How modern astronomers find exciting phenomena
DESCRIPTION:Speaker (in person at IUB): Tonima Tasnim Ananna\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, Wayne State University\, USA \nTitle: Catching a star: How modern astronomers find exciting phenomena \nAbstract: Modern astrophysics infers extreme phenomena from precise\, theory-driven signatures. In this talk\, we will explore the empirical case for the Big Bang—cosmic expansion\, light-element abundances\, and the cosmic microwave background—and why these lines of evidence make it the most plausible origin of the Universe. We will examine how kilometer-scale laser interferometers identify black hole mergers with LIGO\, and how next-generation detectors may let us peek closer to the Big Bang via gravitational waves. Finally\, we will explore how JWST pushes galaxy surveys into the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
