Title: The dynamical origin of black hole mergers
Speaker:   Bence Kocsis
Institute: Eotvos University, Budapest, Hungary
Date: Tuesday, 15 November 2016
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
With the detections of the gravitational waves emitted during black 
hole mergers, LIGO has recently opened the field of gravitational wave 
astrophysics. In this talk I will discuss some of the astrophysical 
processes that may be responsible for the observed events. Although less 
than 0.5% of the stellar mass is in dense stellar systems, a large 
fraction of the black hole mergers may originate in these environments. 
I will show that black hole holes may dynamically settle in a dark disk 
which further enhances the encounter rates. Moreover, accretion disks in 
active galactic nuclei may also facilitate black hole mergers. Finally, 
if primordial black holes constitute a fraction of dark matter, 
gravitational waves may shed light on its composition. I will discuss 
predictions on the event rate distribution that may be used to 
disentangle these astrophysical processes to understand the origin of 
the observed gravitational wave events.

Title: The SPT cluster survey and its cosmological implications
Speaker:   Alex Saro
Institute: Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, Germany
Date: Wednesday, 30 November 2016
Time: 4:00 pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
The 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter wavelength  
telescope designed to conduct sensitive measurements of the cosmic 
microwave  background (CMB) at arc-minute resolution. The SPT has 
successfully conducted  a 2500 square degree survey to find clusters of 
galaxies from their  distortion of the CMB, known as the 
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. The  surface brightness of the SZ effect 
is redshift independent which allows a SZ  survey to provide a nearly 
mass limited cluster sample out to the earliest  epochs of cluster 
formation. The SPT has identified ~700 of cluster  candidates. Of these, 
~500 have been optically confirmed, with the majority  being newly 
discovered clusters at z > 0.5. I will summarize the main results  from 
the SPT cluster survey, including cosmological constraints from their  
measurement of the growth of structure.
