13:30-14:00 Jordan Camp Time Domain X-Ray Astronomy on the ISS with Lobster Optic
We propose a focusing x-ray telescope, based on the so-called Lobster optic, to be placed on the International Space Sta...
14:00-14:15 Dafne Guetta The redshift distribution of GRBs
Long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are associated to the death of massive stars and have been discovered, so far, up to z = 8....
14:15-14:30 Gilad Svirski [1] Probing Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and dust in intervening molecular clouds by analyzing x-ray echoes from SGR bursts
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are objects emitting soft gamma-ray and hard x-ray bursts at irregular intervals, thought to...
14:30-14:45 Uri Keshet Cool cluster cores: the largest spiral flows
The mechanisms shaping the cool cores of galaxy clusters and stabilizing them against catastrophic cooling are not yet...
14:45-15:00 Oded Papish [1] Exploding Core-Collapse Supernovae with Jittering Jets
In this talk a new jets-driven model for core collapse supernova explosion will be presented. This model uses jittering...
15:30-16:00 Boaz Katz Super-eccentric hot Jupiters
They are out there, they are detectable and they are crucial theoretically.
16:00-16:30 Smadar Bressler [1] Planetary atmospheric response to changes in greenhouse gas concentration
The temperature profile of planetary atmospheres is controlled by insolation from the central star and by the radiative...
