Physics Research Bites: Space Park Leicester
We are are pleased to announce the second of our “Physics Research Bites”, a short “bring-your-own-lunch” seminar series aimed at students and staff wishing to know more about the exciting research being undertaken here in Leicester, jointly hosted by PhySoc, AstRoSoc and the Physics Community Team. Time: Friday 10th December, 13:15-13:45 (please arrive by 13:10). Venue: Room E (first […]
Astrophysics Seminar Wednesday 15th Dec, 3pm (POSTPONED from 8th Dec)
This week’s seminar will be by Rowan Smith (Manchester), on “The Cloud Factory: resolving star formation in its galactic context” Abstract: I present suites of simulations that resolve individual molecular clouds down to ~0.1 pc scales while they are embedded within a larger galaxy simulation. This enables us to study fragmentation and star formation within […]
Astrophysics Seminar Wed 1st 3pm.
This week’s seminar will be by Renske Smit (LJMU), on “An ALMA view of galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization” Abstract: In the past decade hundreds of galaxy candidates have been identified in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), selected from their rest-frame UV light. Only a handful of these sources, however, have spectroscopic redshift determinations […]
Astrophysics Seminar – Wed 24th Nov 3pm – Julie Wardlow (Lancaster)
This week’s astrophysics seminar will be by Julie Wardlow, on “Understanding the environments of extreme dusty star-formation in the distant Universe” Abstract: In recent years the high-redshift Universe has been increasingly opened to scrutiny at far-infrared wavelengths, where cool dust emission from star-formation dominates. The dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), selected at these wavelengths likely represent […]
Physics Research Bites: BepiColombo
We’re pleased to announce the first of a new series of “Physics Research Bites”, a short “bring-your-own-lunch” seminar series aimed at students wishing to know more about the exciting research being undertaken here in Leicester. Jointly hosted by PhySoc, AstRoSoc and the Physics Community Team, these informal seminars will feature researchers from across the School, […]
Astrophysics Seminar Wed 17th 3pm
This week’s seminar will be by Nienke van der Marel (Leiden) on “Novel views on planet formation and dust evolution: connecting protoplanetary disk demographics with exoplanets, debris disks and exoplanet atmospheres.“ The Teams link can be found iat the bottom of this post. Please get in touch if there are any access issues (ab520). Abstract: […]
