<p>Hello</p>
<p>On Friday the 3rd at 10:30 we have our next astronomy seminar
with Eliot Ayache (Stockholm University) via Zoom.<br>
</p>
<div class=""><b class="">The Numerics of Gamma-ray
Burst Afterglows Across Scales</b><br class="">
<br class="">
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are riddled with multiscale
processes in the spatial, temporal, and spectral domains.
Accurately capturing the interplay between these processes, and
their manifestations at short and long timescales, is the key
to uncovering the nature and behavior of the associated progenitor
and remnant. I will first focus on direct modeling and show how
recent improvements in the treatment of the numerical dynamics,
using moving meshes, allow us to correctly, numerically, simulate
radiative cooling from non-thermal processes inside the jet.
This finally allows for full broadband simulation of
time-dependent synchrotron emission in relativistic transients. I
will then present results showing how these simulations open
the door to the study of complex dynamical behaviors with multiple
emission sites (and the associated short-timescale light curve
variability), as well as the investigation of the microphysical
processes at play inside the jet in the trans-relativistic regime
(and the associated late-time effects on the light curve). I will
conclude by focusing on the inverse problem and present
preliminary results on how state-of-the-art unsupervised machine
leaning techniques can provide physical insight into the
long-timescale behavior of GRB afterglows.</div>

<p>We are trying something new this year with leaving the Zoom
call open after the formal hour of the seminar is up to allow
the speaker, if they wish, to chat informally with anyone who is
interested.</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
<br>
Chris and Tine</p>
<p>Christopher Usher is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
