5 Years of Fermi-LAT Highlights The Fermi observatory was launched on June 11th 2008 and consists of two instruments which observe the gamma-ray sky from 8 KeV to over 300 GeV.  The first five years of the mission have seen numerous exciting scientific results, some expected and others unexpected.  Fermi LAT data allowed for the […]

Cosmic sound, near and far The coupling of baryons and photons by Thomson scattering in the early universe leads to a rich structure in the power spectra of the cosmic microwave background photons and the matter.  The study of the former has revolutionized cosmology and allowed precise measurement of a host of important cosmological parameters. The study of the latter […]

The regulation of Black Hole Winds and Jets Across the Mass Scale  We present a study of the mechanical power generated by both winds and jets across the black hole mass scale. We begin with the study of ionized X-ray winds and present a uniform analysis using Chandra grating spectra. The high-quality grating spectra facilitate […]

SSL Colloquium on Oct 18th: Michael McDonald

New Insights into Galaxy Cluster Evolution from the South Pole Telescope We present the latest results from the South Pole Telescope collaboration, focusing on a large follow-up program to observe the 80 most massive clusters at 0.4 < z < 1.2 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This survey has led to the discovery of the […]
