 AstroC/3/">CHIME - the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment</a>\
 nby Keith Vanderlinde (University of Toronto) as part of KIPAC Astrophysic
 s Colloquium\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experi
 ment (CHIME) is an ambitious project to study Dark Energy by tracing out 4
  billion years of cosmic history\, using a purpose-built radio telescope a
 t the Dominion 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
  400-800MHz\, corresponding to 21cm radiation emanating from a redshift ra
 nge of 0.8 < z < 2.5.  Earth rotation sweeps its field of view across the 
 sky\, resulting in complete daily coverage of the northern celestial hemis
 phere and an unprecedented survey sensitivity.  I will discuss the motivat
 ion\, construction\, status of CHIME\, along with some recent results. Loo
 king forward\, I will present the technology path towards adding FRB local
 ization capabilities to CHIME\, and the new wide-band CHORD telescope\, pr
 esently under development in Canada.\n

 AstroC/4/">Resolving black holes with infrared interferometry</a>\nby Jaso
 n Dexter (University of Colorado at Boulder) as part of KIPAC Astrophysics
  Colloquium\n\n\nAbstract\nPhase-referenced infrared interferometry with t
 he new instrument GRAVITY at the VLT is sufficiently sensitive to study bl
 ack hole systems with sub-milliarcsecond angular resolution. I will discus
 s the first results on spatially resolved kinematics of the quasar broad e
 mission line region. In the Galactic center\, GRAVITY has allowed the dete
 ction of the gravitational redshift and orbital precession of the star S2 
 around the massive black hole Sgr A*. Resolved motions of flaring emission
  further brings these studies down to event horizon scales. I will outline
  the implications of the observations for accretion physics and the prospe
 cts for probing strong gravity around a massive black hole.\n
