        Meetings
         .........................................................
5th UC Irvine Center for Cosmology Workshop:
Intermediate-Mass Black Holes: from First Light to Galactic Nuclei
April 1 - 3, 2009

    hosted by the Center for Cosmology at UC Irvine
    Location: Beckman Center of the National Academies

This meeting will focus on intermediate-mass black holes, broadly defined as spanning the mass range between stellar-mass black holes and the smallest supermassive black holes found in galaxy centers.

4th UC Irvine Cosmology Center Workshop
Galaxy Formation as Revealed by Cosmic Gas
April 17-19, 2008     

    hosted by the Center for Cosmology at UC Irvine
    Location: Beckman Center of the National Academies

This meeting will focus on searches for cosmic gas in and around galaxies and the associated IGM interface. We will bring together observers and theorists and provide a platform for researchers from various communities to interact on this topic of common interest.

Science in the Era of TMT     
July 23-25, 2007
   A Workshop Sponsored by the Thirty Meter Telescope Project
    hosted by the Center for Cosmology at UC Irvine
    Location: Beckman Center of the National Academies

The next generation of giant ground-based telescopes will probe the early universe and reveal the origins of stars and galaxies.  A project of this magnitude with such diverse science goals requires the thoughtful planning of a broad community of scientists.  This three-day workshop exploref the scientific potential of the Thirty Meter Telescope.

UCI Joins Sky Survey - School to help develop powerful telescope in Chile

UC Irvine is joining the group of elite research institutions developing the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), a proposed instrument powerful and versatile enough to study everything from near-Earth asteroids to dark energy, which is thought to make up 70 percent of the universe.

UCI's Center for Cosmology successfully petitioned to become a member of the LSST Corp., the public-private partnership that plans to start building the 8.4-meter telescope in northern Chile as early as 2010.

Public Events



These talks are scheduled every Wednesday at Noon in room # 2139 of Frederick Reines Hall.

All graduate students and post-doctoral researchers working in the field of theoretical and observational Astrophysics and Cosmology are encouraged to give at least one talk every academic year. The main purpose of this event is to provide a platform for all the graduate students to master their presentation skills. The post-doctoral researchers generally play a very important role by providing constructive criticisms and setting examples via their own presentations. This is also the best way to share one's own research with his (her) peers.
