Carnegie Observatories 2015 Spring Lecture Series
A Noise Within Theater, Pasadena, CA, April 27, 2015
Dr. Juna Kollmeier, Staff Scientist, Carnegie Observatories
Black holes remain among the most enigmatic objects in the universe. Using both computer simulations and traditional analytic theory, Dr. Kollmeier is making major discoveries showing how tiny fluctuations in density in the early universe have become the galaxies and black holes that we see after 14 billion years of cosmic evolution. In this Lecture, Dr. Kollmeier will review our basic knowledge of black holes and explore outstanding mysteries regarding their formation and structure.
Partial funding for Carnegie Observatories' 2015 Astronomy Lecture Series was provided by The Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation. The lectures were hosted by A Noise Within (http://www.anoisewithin.org/). Video production of the Lecture Series by Neighbors Video Services (http://www.neighborsvideo.com).
