GENERAL COLLOQUIUM OF THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT

Title: The dawn of organic chemistry in space
Speaker:  Cecilia Ceccarelli
Institution: Institut de Plan?tologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble
Date: Tuesday, 22 May 2018
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
Since a long time, it has been known that molecular complexity in space 
can reach amazingly high levels. Alcohols, sugars and amino acids are 
detected in meteoritic and cometary material; some of them are even 
detected in regions where solar-like stars and planetary systems are 
forming today. These evidences led the Nobel prize laureate C.De Duve to 
affirm that the ?seeds of life are universal? and that ?life is an 
obligatory manifestation of matter, written into the fabric of the 
Universe?. So far, the smallest seeds, which I will call here iCOMs (for 
interstellar Complex Organic Molecules), are detected in a bit more than 
a dozen solar-like star forming regions. New facilities, like IRAM/NOEMA 
and ALMA, are increasing this small number and providing images of these 
regions with unprecedented precision and sensibility. At the same time, 
new laboratory experiments and quantum chemistry theoretical studies 
suggest previously unpredicted routes of iCOMs synthesis. The 
combination of all these new works is challenging old theories and 
provoking the emergence of new ones. In this talk, I will present these 
recent advances and debates, and the new worldwide large projects whose 
goal is to unravel the dawn of organic chemistry in space.

Title: Gravitational Wave Astrophysics (with LISA)
Speaker:  Pau Amaro Seoane
Institution: Institut de Ciencies de l'Espai, Barcelona (Spa) and 
Technische Universit??t Berlin (De)
Date: Wednesday, 23 May 2018
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
In this talk I will summarise the most promising sources of GWs to be 
detected by the space-borne Observatory LISA.
I will focus on the gravitational capture of a compact object by a 
massive black hole. This process probe gravity in the strong regime. 
There has not been any other mission conceived, planned or even thought 
of ever that can do the science that we can do with them. I will try to 
avoid technical terms and focus on the broad picture.

Title: The Baryon Cycle driving Galaxy Evolution
Speaker:  Michele Ginolfi
Institution: Sapienza Universita' di Roma
Date: Wednesday, 28 May 2018
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
Galaxies can be considered as complex ecosystems, whose fate is 
governed by an intricate network of physical mechanisms involving them 
and their habitat. Gas replenishment from the 
intergalactic/circumgalactic medium, star formation and chemical 
enrichment, gas recycling in the interstellar medium and ejection of 
processed material through starburst/AGN-driven outflows, are the main 
processes of the so-called baryon cycle regulating the evolution of 
galaxies. I will review past and current research on these subjects, 
from both observational and theoretical points of view, with particular 
emphasis on what we can learn from the largest existing and upcoming 
telescopes (e.g., VLT, ALMA, JWST).

GENERAL COLLOQUIUM OF THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT

Title: Atmosfere esoplanetarie nell'epoca di ARIEL
Speaker:  Enzo Pascale
Institution: Dipartimento di Fisica, Sapienza Universita' di Roma
Date: Tuesday, 29 May 2018
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
Ogni stella della nostra galassia ha in media un pianeta che le orbita 
intorno. Pi? di 3700 esopianeti sono gi?  stati scoperti e molti altri 
verranno individuati nei prossimi anni. Quello che sappiamo e' che il 
nostro sistema solare non e' tipico ed altri sistemi mostrano una 
variet?  di parametri non osservata nel sistema solare. La spettroscopia 
e' il prossimo passo. La missione spaziale ARIEL, selezionata 
dall'Agenzia Spaziale Europea a marzo, condurr?  osservazioni 
spettroscopiche delle atmosfere di circa 1000 esopianeti e consentira' 
di avere una comprensione di insieme dei meccanismi di formazione ed 
evoluzione planetaria nella nostra Galassia.

IN COLLABORATION WITH THE AMALDI RESEARCH CENTER

Title: The quest for low frequency gravitational waves
Speaker:  Enrico Barausse
Institution: Institute d'Astrophysique de Paris
Date: Wednesday, 30 May 2018
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza 
University

Abstract:
I will review the status of the space-based Laser Interferometer 
SpaceAntenna (LISA) and its science goals. LISA will detect 
gravitationalwaves in the frequency range 10^{?4} Hz < f < 1 Hz, a 
region of the spectrumpopulated by a large variety of astrophysical 
sources. Among these, amajor role will be played by the mergers of 
massive black holes, whichLISA will detect up to very large redshift z ~ 
10 - 20. I will focus onthe physics of these sources, as well as on how 
their detection byLISA will shape our understanding of astrophysics, 
cosmology andfundamental physics.
