Optical spectroscopy and imaging of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory Blazars are the brightest persistent sources in the high-energy and very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray sky. Because their UV/optical radiation is often dominated by non-thermal, and, in the case of BL Lacs, featureless continuum radiation, the determination of their redshift...
Finding evidence for self-enrichment and supermassive stars in forming globular clusters Self-enrichment is one of the leading explanations for chemical anomalies in globular clusters. In this scenario, a polluter star enriches a forming cluster with its yields, likely ejecting radioactive 26Al into its surroundings. Young massive star clusters, as potential...
From Research to Practice: Applying Artificial Intelligence in the Insurance Industry This presentation provides insights into the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the insurance sector. Using examples from our work at ControlExpert, I will demonstrate how advanced image recognition and natural language processing (NLP) technologies...
Dark Matter Searches with VERITAS and Dark100 Indirect dark matter searches are an important piece of the search for dark matter. One indirect search method is to use very-high-energy (E > 100 GeV) gamma rays as a probe of dark matter annihilation or decay in dark-matter-rich astrophysical systems. Gamma rays...
