SUMMARY:Science Lecture Series: Dr. Emanuele Berti
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Emanuele Berti\nA New Dawn: Gravitational-wave Observations from Earth and in Space\n\n\n\nThursday\, November 14 at 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nThe observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo marked the dawn of a new era in astronomy. The planned space-based detector LISA will further this vision by opening a new observational window into our universe. The gravitational radiation emitted by objects encode important information about their formation mechanism. Explore how Earth- and space-based detectors will advance our understanding of the formation and evolution of numerous astronomical objects. Look at potential “smoking guns” of new physics in gravitational-wave detectors\, and the theoretical and observational challenges associated with their search. \n     \nDr. Emanuele Berti is a theoretical physicist who specializes in gravitational physics and gravitational-wave astronomy. His interests include black holes\, neutron stars\, and gravitational-waves. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and held postdoctoral positions at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki\, the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris\, and JPL/Caltech. He currently is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and a member of NASA’s U.S. LISA Study Team. \n \nThe Science Lecture Series at Emera Astronomy Center will take place the second Thursday of each month and is a partnership project with the Maine Science Festival and will feature research from a variety of science disciplines from around our state and use the digital planetarium to visualize these discoveries in a new dramatic and immersive way. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $6 for Adults\, $5 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $4 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar. \nTickets are available online at http://astro.umaine.edu\, by calling 581-1341\, or at the box office.
