Astronomy on Tap: Energetic Extremes
October 15, 2022 @ 6:30 PM EDT
This edition of Astronomy on Tap Copenhagen shows us the Universe at the extreme. We will look at it both through the eyes of long radio waves and extremely energetic gamma rays.
Our speakers are:
Prof. Kasper Heintz: He will take us on an investigative journey to explore what causes the mysterious cosmic explosions known as fast radio bursts and how they may solve the “missing matter” problem of the universe.
Prof. Mauricio Bustamante: His talk will introduce us to messengers from deep space raining on Earth every moment. The fastest of these atoms, gamma rays, and neutrinos even come from the edge of the universe, billions of light-years away. Yet, despite decades of progress, their origin remains shrouded in mystery. Fortunately, after a long wait, we may be on the verge of transformative progress.
