 3/">CHIME - the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment</a>\nby Kei
 th Vanderlinde (University of Toronto) as part of KIPAC Astrophysics Collo
 quium\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (C
 HIME) is an ambitious project to study Dark Energy by tracing out 4 billio
 n years of cosmic history\, using a purpose-built radio telescope at the D
 ominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley
 . Subsequent extensions simultaneously probe the high-cadence time-domain 
 radio sky\, monitoring radio pulsars and detecting hundreds of Fast Radio 
 Bursts (FRBs).\n\nCHIME is a transit interferometer with no moving parts\,
  which uses a massive computing backend to image the radio sky from 400-80
 0MHz\, corresponding to 21cm radiation emanating from a redshift range of 
 0.8 < z < 2.5.  Earth rotation sweeps its field of view across the sky\, r
 esulting in complete daily coverage of the northern celestial hemisphere a
 nd an unprecedented survey sensitivity.  I will discuss the motivation\, c
 onstruction\, status of CHIME\, along with some recent results. Looking fo
 rward\, I will present the technology path towards adding FRB localization
  capabilities to CHIME\, and the new wide-band CHORD telescope\, presently
  under development in Canada.\n

 4/">Resolving black holes with infrared interferometry</a>\nby Jason Dexte
 r (University of Colorado at Boulder) as part of KIPAC Astrophysics Colloq
 uium\n\n\nAbstract\nPhase-referenced infrared interferometry with the new 
 instrument GRAVITY at the VLT is sufficiently sensitive to study black hol
 e systems with sub-milliarcsecond angular resolution. I will discuss the f
 irst results on spatially resolved kinematics of the quasar broad emission
  line region. In the Galactic center\, GRAVITY has allowed the detection o
 f the gravitational redshift and orbital precession of the star S2 around 
 the massive black hole Sgr A*. Resolved motions of flaring emission furthe
 r brings these studies down to event horizon scales. I will outline the im
 plications of the observations for accretion physics and the prospects for
  probing strong gravity around a massive black hole.\n
