Theory Thursday

Benson and DuTheory Thursday is an opportunity for theorists from CTAC, Caltech, and USC to get together and talk about the latest ideas in astrophysics. Each week's topic is led by a different theorist, who gives a chalkboard-style presentation. A strong emphasis is placed on providing back-on-the-envelope estimates and a discussion of physical arguments. This helps us develop our intuition about the underlying physical principles that guide the phenomena we observe.

 

Every Thursday, 11am-noon
