Center for Materials Physics, Spanish Council for Scientific Research and Donostia International Physics CenterOrganizer Department of Chemical and Biological PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Optical nanoantennas are canonical building blocks that host...» Optical nanoantennas are canonical building blocks that host and participate in a variety of complex physical phenomena in the nanoscale such as in non-linear effects, quantum tunneling, plasmon dynamics, or photoemission, to cite a few. We will present a number of examples where the properties of a conductive nano-contact between the two metallic arms (nanoparticles) of a gap-antenna allows for (i) effective control of the near-field oscillations in a loaded nanoantenna, (ii) establishing a relationship between optical and transport properties through metallic cavities, or (iii) producing ultrafast switching based on an all-optical photoconductive manipulation of the gap in a hybrid metal-semiconductor system. These are just examples of the versatility of plasmonic systems to set the basis of complex optical processes. To conclude I will also address some aspects of the interaction between plasmons and electrons that opens a variety of possibilities for nanoscale optoelectronics. -

A Possible Relativistic Jetted Outburst from a Massive Black Hole Fed by a Tidally Disrupted Star
More information Time 13:00 - 14:30Location Dannie N. Heineman LaboratoryLecturer Ben Bar-Or Organizer Nella and Leon Benoziyo Center for AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the ce...» Gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively powers luminous emission, but most MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionally, a star passing too near an MBH is torn apart by gravitational forces, leading to a bright tidal disruption flare (TDF). Although the high-energy transient Sw 1644+57 initially displayed none of the theoretically anticipated (nor previously observed) TDF characteristics, we show that observations suggest a sudden accretion event onto a central MBH of mass about 106 to 107 solar masses. There is evidence for a mildly relativistic outflow, jet collimation, and a spectrum characterized by synchrotron and inverse Compton processes; this leads to a natural analogy of Sw 1644+57 to a temporary smaller-scale blazar. -

Bioinformatics Unit, Weizmann Institute of ScienceHomepage Contact Abstract Show full text abstract about UCSC Table browser & Galaxy: asking large scale question...» UCSC Table browser & Galaxy: asking large scale questions
In this workshop we will cover advanced uses of the UCSC Genome browser: the Table browser and custom tracks. We will also cover basic usage of Galaxy, and the interface between Galaxy and UCSC.
This workshop will start with a lecture and will also have a hands-on session at the end with a prepared exercise, although participants are encouraged to come with their own data/questions.
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of how to use the UCSC Genome browser. The basics will NOT be covered.
