Astrophysical Sciences and Technology Colloquium
Reconciling Far-IR and Optical Measurements of a Dusty Starburst at z~4
Dr. Amit Vishwas
Cornell University
We are viewing in person in 1125 Carlson Hall, but there is a Zoom Link for those unable to attend in person.
Abstract: The past decade has brought forth significant growth in our understanding of dust-obscured star formation activity in the early Universe. While Herschel and ALMA have allowed us to study rest-frame far-IR properties of these galaxies in some detail, JWST with its near-infrared vision has opened the possibility of investigations using rest-frame optical spectroscopy. Dr. Vishwas will present recent results and some on-going work that highlights how we can leverage panchromatic observations to assemble a consistent picture of how massive galaxies form in the early Universe.
Speaker Bio: Dr. Vishwas is a post-doc working at the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences. He is broadly interested in the study of physical conditions of gas in and around galaxies using novel instrumentation, some of which he has built himself.
Intended Audience: All are welcome. Those with interest in the topic.
