The 2nd NCTS/UCAT/NTHU International Astronomy Winter School will be jointly organised by National Center of Theoretical Sciences (NCTS), the University Consortium of ALMA-Taiwan (UCAT), and National Tsing Hua University, Institute of Astronomy (NTHU), to be held in early 2023. The school will be on Magnetism in Star-Forming and Galactic Environments, covering topics in interstellar magnetic […]
Paper: A Bose Horn Antenna Radio Telescope (BHARAT) design for 21 cm hydrogen line experiments for radio astronomy teaching Authors: Ashish A. Mhaske, Joydeep Bagchi, Bhal Chandra Joshi, Joe Jacob, Paul K. T Abstract: We have designed a low-cost radio telescope system named the Bose Horn Antenna Radio Telescope (BHARAT) to detect the 21 cm hydrogen line emission […]
Speaker: Arshad Momen, PhD, Professor, Department of Physical Sciences, IUB. Abstract: Lorentz symmetry prevents the decay of a massive spin-1 particle into two massless photons, a result known as the Landau-Yang theorem . However, infrared effects in QED can break Lorentz symmetry spontaneously. Employing a construction by Mund et. al. which encodes this feature we […]
Title: BTZ black hole in 2+1 dimensions Abstract: In this article I shall review the original paper by Máximo Bañados, Claudio Teitelboim, and Jorge Zanelli - ”The Black hole in three-dimensional space-time”. The BTZ black hole is a solution to Einstein’s equations of general relativity, with negetive cosmological constant that describes a black hole in […]
