DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Noam Libeskind (AIP)\nTitle: There’s nothing peculi
 ar about a galaxy’s velocity\nAbstract: I will give a fairly general tal
 k on how (some) astronomers measure distances to (certain) celestial objec
 ts. More importantly I will review the utility of such measurements\, name
 ly their purposes in deriving peculiar velocities\, understanding the scal
 e of the universe and building a consistent picture of the cosmos\, includ
 ing making cosmological maps. A history of peculiar velocities\, the elusi
 veness and challenge of their observation\, and their implications for our
  understanding the fundamental fabric of our Universe will be explained. I
  will end with how these measurements play a role in cosmological simulati
 ons of the local universe\, and how such simulations can help us understan
 d the formation of our own galaxy.\n
