Interacting galaxies in MOND

Le 14 décembre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Michal Bilek (ObAS)   The purpose of this talk will be to introduce myself and my work so far. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (aka MOND) is the leading alternative to the dark matter hypothesis in galaxies, suggesting a modification of the...

Gravitational probes of dark matter

Le 7 décembre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Aurel Schneider (ETH Zurich)   I will discuss the most promising gravitational probes to constrain non-cold or collisional dark matter scenarios. This includes dwarf galaxy statistics, weak lensing, and the global 21-cm signal....

The Galactic Disk in Action Space as seen by Gaia

Le 30 novembre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Wilma Trick MPA Garching   The second Gaia data release from April 2018 has revealed an astounding amount of non-axisymmetric stellar substructure in the Milky Way. In this talk, I will present the orbit structure of the Galactic disk...

Le vent nous portera…towards a better understanding of galaxies

Le 23 novembre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Max Gronke UC Santa Barbara   Galactic winds are large-scale, multiphase outflows from galaxies and crucial for the galactic ecosystem. They are, thus, a potent probe for the underlying feedback mechanisms. However, these winds are still...

Molecular cloud rotation in M33 and M51

Le 16 novembre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Jonathan Braine LAB, Bordeaux    Systematic rotation of molecular clouds was detected for the first time in the Local Group spiral Messier 33, where a sample of 566 molecular clouds is available. There is a clear preference for prograde...

X-raying nearby supernova remnants

Le 12 octobre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Pierre Maggi ObAS   Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the fingerprints left in the interstellar medium by either thermonuclear (type Ia) or core-collapse (CC) supernova explosions. The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer an ideal laboratory for the...

The evolution of cool dwarf spin rates: Data, models, and tensions

Le 5 octobre 2018 De 10h30 à 12h00 Marcel Agüeros Columbia   Stellar ages are notoriously difficult to measure accurately for main-sequence low-mass stars, severely limiting our ability to address questions ranging from the evolutionary state of exoplanets to the chemical...
