Title:
New Probes of Black Hole Variability

Speaker:
Daryl Haggard

Abstract:
It’s been a fantastic decade for black hole studies, highlighted by the 2017 and 2020 Nobel Prizes in Physics. Multiple Galactic Center research groups, the Event Horizon Telescope, and LIGO/Virgo continue to bring rapid-fire new observations to sharpen our understanding of these exotic objects. I will discuss SgrA*’s unique variability alongside other time domain phenomena in the Galactic Center, traced out over more than 20 years of observations from coordinated multi-wavelength campaigns. I will also briefly explore how we can continue to push the frontiers of black hole research with existing and next-generation observatories.
