Where do most black holes in the Universe come from?

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 01.12.2023
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragender: Prof. Dr. Hans-Walter Rix
  • Hans-Walter Rix is director at the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) and professor at the University of Heidelberg faculty for physics and astronomy. In his thesis work with Simon White he figured out that most large elliptical galaxies also have sizable stellar disks, and hence must have a different formation history than thought at the time. He also had the opportunity to work with Craig Hogan on gravitational lensing, with Marcia and George Rieke on infrared imaging and spectroscopy, and with Rob Kennicutt. He then went on to the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, working on some of the very first Hubble Space Telescope data on gravitational lensing and giving in to the numerous, exciting scientific diversions that Princeton has to offer. After a year at MPA, Garching and three years on the faculty at the University of Arizona, he came to MPIA late 1998. In the first five years, his focus was on galaxy evolution, helping to draw up a comprehensive picture of what the population of galaxies looked like when the Universe was half its age. In recent years he has focused his research on our very own galaxy, the Milky Way, because the intricate detail in which it can be studied, should lead us to a better understanding of galaxy formation as a whole. As of 2016, the Gaia space mission along with other vast spectroscopic surveys of stars, and then Hubble's successor James Webb Space Telescope are the next beacons on his science path.

Over the last 50 years the existence of black holes has been established by different astrophysical means: the dynamics of stars and gas, emission from accretion disks surrounding them and gravitational waves. Black holes appear to exist over a vast range of masses, from a few times the mass of the Sun to a few billion Solar masses. But in many circumstances black holes have remained undetectable by current detection efforts, and we may just see the tip of the population iceberg. I’ll discuss some of the ongoing and upcoming efforts (including our own) to detect new parts of the black hole population. And I’ll sketch what this implies for their origin: When do massive stars leave black holes behind? Do all black holes in the Universe ultimately trace back to stellar remnants? [mehr]

How Cybercrime challenges Criminal Law

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 06.10.2023
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragender: Dr. Florian Nicolai
  • Dr. Florian Nicolai, Akademischer Rat a.Z. at the FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, passed the first state examination in 2017. He completed his legal clerkship at the Higher Regional Court of Nuremberg (OLG Nürnberg) with the second state examination in 2019. From 2019 to 2023 he was part of the Research Training Group 2475 “Cybercrime and Forensic Computing” funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Within the context of his research in the Research Training Group he was a guest researcher at the Swedish Law and Informatics Research Center (Stockholm University) in 2022, where he continues to give guest lectures. In 2023 he received a doctorate in law with a thesis on the impact of the Internet of Things on Criminal Law (Duncker&Humblot, in press). His doctoral thesis was awarded with the doctoral prize of the Department of Law of the FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. In his current position as a postdoc Nicolai is involved in teaching as well as research. He is the author of several legal essays, comments on judgements, contributions to anthologies and other publications. Together with Prof. Dr. Mustafa Temmuz Oğlakcıoğlu (Saarland University) he founded the podcast "Räuberischer Espresso", which is published by the legal educational magazine "Juristische Arbeitsblätter".

The rise of the private fusion industry and how Kyoto Fusioneering accelerates fusion power on the grid

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 29.09.2023
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragender: Dr. Colin Baus
  • Colin is a physicist with a PhD at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (CMS experiment) on heavy-ion cross sections and the connection to astroparticle physics. As co-author of the hadronic interaction tool CRMC, he has deep knowledge in nuclear physics. After several years in the private industry, Colin joined Kyoto Fusioneering. Here, he is author of the high-temperature fusion blanket SCYLLA design and currently oversees technical development of the UNITY programme for fusion thermal cycle and fusion fuel cycle in Japan. He is also a visiting researcher at Kyoto University.

Ignition and the Path Towards an Inertial Fusion Energy Future

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 29.06.2023
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragende: Dr. Tammy Ma
  • Tammy Ma is the Lead for the Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) Institutional Initiative at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in the U.S. She was a member of the team achieving burning plasma, followed by fusion ignition in December 2022 at the National Ignition Facility, demonstrating more energy gain from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it. She is the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering (PECASE) and currently sits on the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC). She also chaired the 2022 DOE Basic Research Needs Workshop and Report in Inertial Fusion Energy and served on the German Expert Panel that authored the Memorandum on Laser Inertial Fusion Energy.
