Astronomy & Space Sciences
The First Billion Years of the Universe
The conference consists of a series of lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions by leading scientists on different methods of analytical modelling, simulations, observations, data reduction, and statistical inference for multi-wavelength observations of this early phase of our Universe.
Dark Matter & Gravitational Wave Detection - By Dr Surjeet Rajendran, John Hopkins University, USA
The lecture elaborates on various aspects of dark matter that could generate powerful enough gravitational waves for equipment like LIGO for detection.
MOSEL survey: Tracking the Growth of Massive Galaxies at 2 By: Anshu GuptaSchool of Physics, The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney
In the talk, the focus is on the kinematics of star-forming galaxies at z~3 from MOSEL survey.
The dawn of wide-field near-infrared time domain astronomy with Palomar Gattini-IRBy: Kishalay De, California Institute of Technology
In the talk, the focus is on the system design, survey operations and data processing system of Palomar Gattini-IR.
Probing stellar evolution with S stars and Gaia By: Shreeya Shetye, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
In the talk, the focus is to explain how high-resolution spectroscopic data of S stars combined with the Gaia Data Release 2(GDR2) parallaxes and with the MARCS model atmospheres for S-type stars were used to derive effective temperatures, surface gravities, and luminosities.
Gravitation and cosmology
The aim of the conference is to bring together active scientists to take stock of present status in Gravitation and Cosmology and exchange ideas, as well as offer young researchers from India an opportunity for interaction with experts.
