Academic Calendar
Graduate School Summer 2021: Summer degree window period begins
Abstract: *Important Note: The “Window Period” is the time between the end of one degree period and the beginning of the next. You must have been registered for the previous semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer). If all degree requirements are met by the end of the window period, your degree will be granted for the following semester. However, you will not have to register or pay fees for the next semester.

Monday Science Seminar
Monday Science Seminar w/ Dr. Adam Schaefer (MPIA)
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Place:
Speaker: Adam Schaefer, Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics
Abstract: SDSS IV MaNGA: Exploring the local scaling relations for Nitrogen and their implications for galaxy evolution

The measured chemical abundances in galaxies are useful for constraining their formation histories and the details of their evolution. The abundance of oxygen has been shown to trace the buildup of stellar mass in galaxies on both global and local scales. Nitrogen, however, is produced on different timescales to oxygen, and therefore may provide a secondary constraint on our galaxy evolution models. I use data from the SDSS IV: Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey to investigate whether similar scaling relations hold for nitrogen as for oxygen. I find that the observed abundances cannot be explained by simple models for the evolution of nitrogen in galaxies. Contrary to previous literature, the ratio of N/O depends on the, star formation rate, total stellar mass and sizes of galaxies. These results pose problems for the universal applicability of some optical gas-phase metallicity calibrations. They also hint that our understanding of how nitrogen is produced and dispersed within galaxies may require revision.

Network in Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar
The Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey: Overview and Latest Science Results
Time: 2:00 pm
Place:
Speaker: Ting Li, Carnegie Observatories
Abstract: The Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S5) is an ongoing spectroscopic program that maps the newly discovered stellar streams with the fiber-fed AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). S5 is the first systematic program pursuing a complete census of known streams in the Southern Hemisphere, providing a uniquely powerful sample for understanding the building blocks of the Milky Way's stellar halo, the progenitors and formation of stellar streams, the mass and shape of the Milky Way's halo, and ultimately the nature of dark matter. The survey started in Summer 2018 and has mapped ~20 streams with over 50 nights on AAT. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the current status of the program, highlighting the latest science results from the survey, and end the talk with the first public data release of S5.

Cosmology Journal Club
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Abstract: Each week, we start with a couple scheduled 15 minute talks about one's research, or an arXiv paper. The last 30 minutes will typically be open to the group for anyone to discuss an arXiv paper.

All are welcome and all fields of cosmology are appropriate.

Contact Ross Cawthon, cawthon@wisc, for more information.

NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum
Recent work on high-energy neutrinos
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Place:
Speaker: Bei Zhou, Johns Hopkins University
Abstract: This talk presents our recent work on high-energy neutrinos. The first part is about our searches for high-energy neutrino emission from radio-bright active galactic nuclei (2103.12813), which were claimed by two papers last year to have a 4.1σ correlation with TeV--PeV astrophysical neutrinos detected by IceCube. The second part presents the W-boson and trident production, including their cross sections (1910.08090) and their promising detection prospects in IceCube and IceCube-Gen2 (1910.10720).
