SCIENCE LECTURE
Speaker: Dr. Amy Furniss (UC Santa Cruz)
Title: Exploring the Extreme Universe
Abstract: Dr. Amy Furniss will discuss how we observe the most extreme photons in the Universe and what astrophysical objects create these photons. With her work on VERITAS, the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System, she will provide a summary of how ground-based gamma-ray observatories work, how they work together with other instruments to understand the highest energy universe, and how the field of high energy astrophysics has changed in the new era of multimessengers.
