This month, we will be joined by Jon Gudmundsson, a fifth year graduate student in the Department of Physics. Jon will talk with us about the recent cosmological results from the Planck Mission, an experiment designed to study the cosmic microwave background radiation of the universe, namely the relic radiation from the big bang. The data reveal the structure of the universe over a vast range of angular scales and frequencies and have opened new avenues of research for astrophysicists. Jon will discuss what we have learned from the Planck data and will describe ongoing efforts in the field. Read this NY Times article for more information on the Planck Mission.
Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes the Nassau Club’s full buffet as well as a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink). Pre-registration is required.
