ALT *NEW DAY!! The Brown Theoretical Physics Center presents Cyril Creque-Sarbinowski, Center for Computational Astrophysics, on 𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟒 at 11:00am in Room 212 of the Barus Building. Title: Cosmic Magnetic Shear of Blazars Abstract: I will show that the presence of a stochastic intergalactic magnetic field in the Universe induces correlated quadrupolar distortions on the gamma-ray images of blazars in the sky. Using an E- and B-mode decomposition of an all-sky gamma-ray shear map, I will then quantify the strength of the resulting two-point signal and estimate Fermi-LAT’s sensitivity to it. Such a decomposition also allows one to distinguish parity-even and -odd magnetic fields. I will also comment on the relation of this technique to other blazar-based methods of probing intergalactic magnetic fields. https://events.brown.edu/physics/event/299709-the-brown-theoretical-physics-center-specia
