A Cosmic Dance is UF Physics Ph.D. candidate Analis Evans’ submission to the Science Magazine Dance Your Ph.D. Contest. The title of her dissertation is “Building black hole formation models using IllustrisTNG host galaxies” and her research advisor is Associate Prof. Laura Blecha. Joining her are UF alumnus and former Belly Gators' Vice President Jaydeen Ibanez and UF undergraduate psychology major Aude Gagnon-Roberge. • Scientific Artistic Statement by Analis Evans: • Understanding how black holes form and grow throughout cosmic time is depicted by a beautiful dance ensemble in space. I build black hole formation and growth models using the cosmological simulation IllustrisTNG that emphasize the importance of both current and future observational facilities, providing strong constraints on black hole masses in the early Universe. Aside from the current James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), this includes the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) when it launches as the first space-borne gravitational wave detector. • In the dance, the celestial goddesses are forming the black holes and bringing light to the Universe. Lights out in the beginning artistically symbolizes the cosmic dark ages. When the wings are brought in, this is the epoch of reionization where stars and galaxies are forming and we’re building the black holes which grew large very quickly. The James Webb Space Telescope has made wonderful progress finding massive black holes at this cosmic age at unprecedented early times. The veil dance circle is symbolic of either a large black hole or a pristine gas cloud that can collapse into a black hole. This is possible from Lyman Werner radiation. When Analis does snake arms and Jaydeen and Aude split apart, this symbolizes molecular hydrogen dissociating. On the floor we’re modeling stellar collapse into a black hole which creates a small-mass black hole. Then we model two black holes merging within a nuclear star cluster. At the end we get into a triangle to model the gravitational wave detector LISA. We’re sending out laser signals to the detector arm of LISA (Jaydeen). When Aude and Analis shimmy roughly in phase, this models constructive interference. The final measurement is represented by Jaydeen’s powerful shimmy once she detects this gravitational wave signal from merging black holes in the early Universe through the interference pattern. • Music: • “Apsara Calling” by CloZee: https://clozee.bandcamp.com/track/aps... • Released by: • Gravitas Recordings • Release date: • 11 August 2015 • P-line: • ℗ 2015 2015 Gravitas Recordings • C-line: • © 2015 2015 Gravitas Recordings
