Virtual KITP Program on CGM Starting This Week

[Cameron Hummels]

Trident users,

I wanted to make everyone aware that KITP (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics) will be hosting an 8-week program on the CGM starting this coming week.  In brief, there will be activities every weekday during this period from 8-10AM PST, keynote talks, tutorials, discussion, new results, meet and greet, etc.  Obviously, you can choose as much or as little to personally attend.  Each week has a different thematic question.  Interaction will primarily take place over slack and zoom.  We're looking to interact with theorists, observers, and representatives from related fields including FRBs, SZ, X-ray, UV, optical, etc.  All are welcome to participate, but you must register on the main KITP website in order to be let into the zoom sessions.

The themed weeks are:

• Week 1 (Jan 11-15): How do gaseous halos depend on halo mass?

• Week 2 (Jan 19*-22): Why are gaseous halos often multiphase?

• Week 3 (Jan 25-28): What roles do non-thermal components play?

• Week 4 (Feb 1-5): What does the Milky Way tell us?

• Week 5 (Feb 8-12): How does gas flow out of galaxies?

• Week 6 (Feb 16*-19): How does gas flow into galaxies?

• Week 7 (Feb 22-26): How do gaseous halos affect galaxy evolution

• Week 8 (Mar 1-5): What future observations will transform our understanding?
