JPL Astrophysics Colloquia
Sponsored by the Center for Long-Wavelength Astrophysics (CLWA)
Introduction
The Center for Long-Wavelength Astrophysics (CLWA) hosts this series of
colloquia, sponsoring visiting researchers in the field of astrophysics,
for the benefit of the JPL astrophysics community and other collaborating
scientists.
The JPL astrophysics community has a wide range of interests, including planet finding
and characterization, star and planet formation, galaxy formation and evolution,
cosmology and general relativity, and instrument and detector development, in wavelengths
spanning from the X-ray to the radio, with an emphasis on the infrared. There are groups
actively studying space physics, planets, cool stars, debris and circumstellar disks,
evolution of massive galaxies, galaxy clusters, quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and active
galactic nuclei (AGN), gravitational lensing and gravitational waves, the infrared
background and the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
