Knowledge of regression analysis and R is helpful but not required. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 10:00 AM\n to 3:00 PM EDT\n at Online.

These include gravitational-wave emissions that detect the mergers of compact binaries\, X-ray radiation that captures the dramatic accretion episodes of black hole binaries\, and astrometry\, which measures the dance of a star around an unseen companion. Despite significant progress over the past decade\, we still lack a unified framework that connects these seemingly disparate populations. In this talk\, I will explore how stellar triples may provide such a connection. I will discuss the role of tertiary companions in driving black hole mergers detectable by LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA\, in shaping the formation of accreting X-ray binaries\, and in leaving behind wide black hole–stellar systems like those now revealed by Gaia. I will show how the aftermath of a black hole merger in the presence of a tertiary companion can produce rare but detectable electromagnetic counterparts\, and how this channel may account for a significant fraction of observed black hole binaries. In short\, triples may open the door to linking gravitational-wave events with electromagnetic counterparts and galactic black holes\, offering a new way to piece together the life stories of black holes.  \n\n\n\n From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 4:30 PM EDT\n at 207 Phillips Hall.

Original Yoga practices were made to help one control their thoughts and actions through raising awareness and self-regulation. Yoga from ancient India was originally meant for the mind before it was popularized as a physical activity. The UNC Bhakti Yoga club is working to help students experience these same fulfilling feelings through mindful meditation. \nThe Bhakti Yoga Club is committed to creating a stress-relieving and welcoming environment. Free vegan treats will be provided to session participants. All are welcome! \nThe main session runs from 7-8 P.M. Participants are welcome to stay (from 8-8:30 P.M.) after the main session\, to enjoy some snacks and interact with other participants. \nNotes: \nYou do not need to RSVP to attend! We only use the RSVP headcount as an estimate so we know how much food to bring (+ so we can have extras for everyone). \nYou do not need a yoga mat (this is not physical exercise). You are welcome to stay as long as you like during the sessions. You also do not need to have attended previous sessions to show up to an upcoming one. Feel free to come and see how you feel. \n\n\n\n From Monday\, April 20\, 2026 7:00 PM\n to 8:00 PM EDT\n at Student Union #2424.
