Panel Event: Competing for Space Superiority? Arms Racing, Rivalries and Hype in Space
Join us for an in-depth discussion, led by Dr Bleddyn Bowen, on the realities behind the rhetoric of arms racing, rivalries and other types of hype in space. Outer space is often described as the “ultimate high-ground”, as the prize at the end of a cosmic race. The winner will be granted the limitless advantages […]

Astrophysics Seminar – 17th Feb 3pm. JJ Hermes: White dwarf variability as seen from space
Please find a teams link in the Astrophysics Group > Seminars area. Abstract: White dwarfs have been used as flux standards for decades, thanks to their staid simplicity. These endpoints of all low- and intermediate-mass stars are used as absolute calibrators for a range of science, including precision cosmology. In the era of space missions […]
