Did you know that Supermassive Black Holes prevent galaxies from forming new stars?
Did you know that Supermassive Black Holes prevent galaxies from forming new stars?
In this short video Asia briefly explains the results of her team's research, which shows that galaxies in both simulated and observed Universe stop their star formation because of their supermassive black holes.

In our 45 minute session we explored the Universe of Galaxies as observed by the Legacy Sloan Digital Sky Survey with the 2.5m Telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico.
Part ONE: we have fun in groups, classifying galaxies into groups of our liking.

Grace Hopper: American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral.[1] One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and the FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.

My expertise is in high energy astrophysics, with a focus on understanding the deaths of massive stars and the relativistic jets they can produce. I’m particularly focused on their inner engines, the jet launch mechanism, the particle acceleration and emission processes in the jet and their progenitor systems. I also study how we use these stars, and their evolution throughout cosmic time, to understand the star formation rate history of the universe.
I am heavily involved in public scientific outreach. I have developed a variety of K-12 outreach programs, serving schools throughout northern New Mexico, and am involved in a number of nation- and world-wide efforts to make physics and astronomy more inclusive and accessible.
I am on the faculty at University of New Mexico, Los Alamos where I teach a variety of physics and astronomy classes for undergraduates

Jessica (Jesi) Goodman is currently staff scientist in XCP-7 at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She earned her PhD in Theoretical Particle Physics from the University of California, Irvine focusing on model building and phenomenology beyond the Standard Model. She held postdoc positions at The Ohio State University and Carleton University before coming to LANL as a Feynman Fellow in T-2. She is still doing research on dark matter and new physics in addition to testing diagnostics/analysis for the radiation transport group at LANL.
Andrea Albert is a staff scientist in the Physics Division at LANL. She got her PhD from The Ohio State University where she looked for gamma ray signals from dark matter interactions. She now works both on astrophysics and stockpile stewardship projects. Here is a link to her public lecture on searching for dark matter with cosmic gamma rays if you'd like to learn more.
