U3.00001: The Cosmic History of the Universe Invited Speaker: With the advent of new space observatories and new instruments on ground-based telescopes, astronomers are mapping much of the star formation and supermassive black hole accretion that produces the light of the universe. The emerging consensus is that the early universe was dominated by a small number of giant galaxies containing colossal black holes and prodigious bursts of star formation, while the more recent universe is surprisingly active in a more dispersed mode---the creation of stars and the accretion of material into black holes is being carried out in a large number of medium-size and small galaxies. I will present observations at many different wavelengths that show this vast downsizing of cosmic activity. [Preview Abstract] |

U3.00002: The Supernoa - GRB Connection Invited Speaker: |

U3.00003: Searching for the First Stars Invited Speaker: I will review the physics of the primordial generation of stars as well as the prospects for their detection, focusing on three key issues. First, I will describe the properties and expected redshift distribution of such stars and the possibilities for their direct detection. Second, I will review the physics of primordial supernovae and how we can best search for these objects in future surveys. Finally, I will discuss modeling the present-day distribution of the first stellar remnants and what we can learn about them from Milky-Way surveys. [Preview Abstract] |
