NANOGrav 2024 Fall Meeting
This week has been NANOGrav week at U-M! We are hosted the NANOGrav 2024 Fall Collaboration Meeting at Palmer Commons. This week’s Astronomy Colloquium will be given by Joe Simon (U. Colorado) talking about the astrophysics of gravitational wave background. Monday’s High Energy / Astrophysics Seminar in the Physics Department was given by Jeff Hazboun (Oregon St. U.) talking about pulsar timing array detector characterization and optimization.
Over the weekend there was a student workshop. The meeting proper saw roughly 90 people in-person coming through Ann Arbor and many talks. In particular, Cayenne Matt gave a talk titled “Insights into SMBH-Galaxy Co-Evolution From the GravitationalWave Background” and CJ Harris gave a talk titled “Echoes from the Core: Constraints on the Supermassive Black Hole BinaryPopulation from Core Galaxy Properties”.
