Measuring the Hubble constant from time-delays of strongly lensed quasars
Friday, September 27, 2019 - 12:15pm to 1:00pm
Anowar Shajib (UCLA)
The recent tension between early- and late-Universe measurements of the Hubble constant highlights the necessity for independent and precise probes such as the time-delay cosmography.

Piecing together the history of galaxies and metals
Tuesday, October 8, 2019 - 11:00am
Dr. Svea Hernandez (STScI)
Being complex systems containing vast amounts of gas, dust, and stars, galaxies allow us to study the Universe in great detail. It is inside these systems that stars form, and transform the simplest of elements, hydrogen, into heavy elements essential for life as we know it.
