In peace, Jesse ________________________________ From: Jesse Golden-Marx (staff) Sent: Monday, June 10, 2024 9:12 AM To: astro at nottingham.ac.uk Subject: Seminar 12/6 Hi Everyone, Our seminar speaker this week is Dr. Roland Timmerman (visiting from Durham). He's arriving in Nottingham on Tuesday evening, so will be in the office all day. If you are interested in meeting with him, please either let me know or stop by A108, where he'll be sitting. If anyone is interested in joining for lunch (around 12:30 on Wednesday), please let me know by Tuesday evening. As usual we can subsidize a few post-graduates to attend. Roland's talk is titled: A fresh look on AGN feedback with the International LOFAR Telescope The abstract is provided below. On Wednesday, the timings of the events are: Arrival ~ 10:00am Lunch ~ 12:30pm meet the speaker for postgrads at 15:00, finishing at 15:30 seminar at 15:45 in C12 post-seminar Tea and Cakes Cheers, Jesse and Luke Abstract: Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in our Universe and form the nodes of the Cosmic Web. In addition to the up to thousands of member galaxies, galaxy clusters are permeated by the hot ionized diffuse plasma of the intracluster medium (ICM), which forms the dominant baryonic component of the cluster. The ICM releases strong X-ray emission due to thermal bremsstrahlung, causing this medium to cool down. As the ICM cools down, it sinks down the gravitational well of the cluster and accretes onto the central galaxy. Here, it fuels the supermassive black hole located in the core of the galaxy, creating an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). This AGN subsequently produces two relativistic jets which shoot into the surrounding ICM to re-energize this medium, which prevents a runaway cooling event and moderates star formation. To understand the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters, it is critical to understand this feedback cycle. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is one of the world's leading observatories at low radio frequencies. With its pan-European baselines reaching up to 2000 km in length, it is capable of achieving sub-arcsecond angular resolution at frequencies below 200 MHz. Recent developments of the Long Baseline Working Group have enabled the calibration of these baselines, unlocking the highest resolutions (~0.3 arcseconds) attainable with LOFAR. This has provided an unparalleled view of the radio sky, enabling a wide variety of research for the first time. In particular, the combination of high angular resolutions and excellent sensitivity at low frequencies is ideal for imaging active galactic nuclei and their jetted outflows. In this talk, I will present a brief overview of the ongoing technical work with the calibration of LOFAR followed by a variety of recent results, and I will finish with a brief outlook on LOFAR's future following the upcoming upgrade.

This will be the last seminar for this term. Venue: A113 (2 pm on Friday 14th June) Title: Parametrized tests of GR: Extension to 4PN order and Principal Component Analysis Abstract: Parametrized tests of post-Newtonian (PN) theory have been very efficient in testing GR in the inspiral phase of compact binary dynamics. In this test, one introduces null-valued deformation coefficients at each PN order in the inspiral phase, and their consistency with zero is assessed using gravitational wave data. In the first half of the talk, we will discuss the recently computed 4PN and 4.5PN inspiral phase terms that carry information about new physical effects like the tail-of-memory, spin-quadrupolar tails and quartic-tail effects and the extension of single-parameter test of GR to these orders. We introduce four new deformation parameters at these PN orders and compute the bounds on them through the Fisher analysis for the current-generation detectors such as LIGO/Virgo, next-generation (XG) detectors such as Cosmic Explorer/Einstein Telescope and LISA. Gravitational waves from supermassive BHs observed in LISA provide the tightest projected constraints ranging from O(10?4 ?10?2 ) for the four different parameters. In the second segment, we focus on multi-parameter tests, i.e., simultaneous estimation of deformation parameters occurring at all PN orders and understand the associated problems due to their correlations. One possible resolution is shifting to a suitable basis obtained through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which is the best-measured orthogonal linear combination of the original deformation parameters. We performed an extensive study of zero-noise GR and non-GR injections, that highlights the efficiency of PCA over the usual parametrized test in constraining GR deviations. Our study, therefore, highlights the advancements in parametrized tests to probe consistency with GR through current and future gravitational wave observations.

I will present new ultra-deep imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which we are using to answer the question of how and why star formation shuts off in galaxies. To do this, we study a class of galaxies that recently underwent this transformation, known as post-starburst galaxies (PSBs). Previous research has found an excess of low mass PSBs at z < 1.5, believed to be caused by environmental quenching, however this excess has yet to be seen at higher redshifts. With the increased depth of JWST, we can extend our analysis to unprecedentedly lower masses across cosmic time, allowing us to determine whether the upturn at the low mass end of the PSB mass function occurs exclusively at lower redshifts. In this talk I will present preliminary mass functions made using JWST data for star-forming, quiescent and PSB populations, in addition to exploring what this could mean for the quenching routes and timescales of PSBs.

Astronomy Lunch Talk Joe Butler Tracing dark matter using intracluster light The intracluster light (ICL) is the diffuse stellar component of galaxy clusters consisting of stars not bound to any galaxy. Both dark matter (DM) and the ICL can be treated as collisionless particles whose dynamics are simply governed by the cluster potential, which itself is dominantly generated by DM. The possibility therefore arises of using the ICL as a luminous tracer of DM, which we investigate by exploring the 6D phase-space and kinematics of these two components in simulations. We find that unlike DM, ICL consists of many kinematically-distinct populations, which can be separated in phase-space. Although DM and ICL have very different kinematics and radial distributions, we can understand these differences through energy considerations. Finally, we discuss the importance of simulation parameters for inferring the DM profile from ICL profile. Thursday 27th June at 3pm, Online ? Particle Cosmo Journal Club ? First Year Talk Trevor Cheung --- Fridays at 4pm, CAPT Foyer ? CAPT Cakes --- If you have any events/visitors you would like including in next week?s bulletin, please let me know.

Both dark matter (DM) and the ICL can be treated as collisionless particles whose dynamics are simply governed by the cluster potential, which itself is dominantly generated by DM. The possibility therefore arises of using the ICL as a luminous tracer of DM, which we investigate by exploring the 6D phase-space and kinematics of these two components in simulations.

Along with the 2022 AAP roadmap, this consultation will feed into the planning for our subject over the next decade. Engaging with this process is one of the few ways our community can influence the direction that STFC may take in the coming years. Best regards, Jamie On 26/06/2024, 15:18, "Astro Community list" wrote: Dear Colleagues As part of the development of a 10-year prioritised strategy for STFC, the newly reorganised STFC Science Board for Particle Physics, Astronomy and Nuclear Physics (PPAN) will produce a landscape document including all areas under its remit (including particle astrophysics, space science and the accelerator and computational requirements of science programmes). The resultant long-term prioritised PPAN Roadmap will set guidelines on future investments, informing STFC planning decisions and helping to optimise the delivery of excellent, high impact science. The Astronomy Advisory Panel (AAP) Science and Technology Roadmap (2022), which was informed by your response to the community consultation, is an important and key component of this exercise. We now request your assistance in refreshing this document in preparation for the assembly of the PPAN Science Board 10-year roadmap. This is a light touch consultation aimed at identifying any recent updates (since 2022) to the existing roadmap; the responses to this consultation will not replace the 2022 AAP Roadmap. We welcome input from individuals, groups, projects and communities. Please submit responses through this form by the end of 22nd July 2024. This is your opportunity to make sure that we have considered and included your community and project(s) in this Roadmap, so your feedback on areas and recommendations to be updated since 2022 would be very helpful.
