The Strongest Magnets in the Universe

Le 7 juillet 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 George Younes George Washington University Magnetars represent the most extreme manifestation of the neutron star population. Their seconds-long rotational periods and large spindown rates imply surface dipole magnetic fields up to 7.0E14 G,...

The SkyMapper Southern Survey

Le 22 mai 2017 De 14h00 à 15h30 Christian Wolf ANU The SkyMapper Southern Survey is now approaching its first large data release, covering nearly all of the Southern hemisphere in six optical bands. This talk will cover all aspects of the project, from its history and...

Radio Pulsars and the Magneto-Thermal Evolution of Neutron Stars

Le 19 mai 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 Ulrich Geppert University of Zielona Góra, Poland For neutron stars to emit radio waves, certain conditions must be met on their polar cap. I will shortly introduce them and present the model of the partially screened gap in which the charges...

Gas dynamics and star formation in dwarf galaxies

Le 12 mai 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 Federico Lelli ESO Garching   The formation and evolution of low-mass galaxies remain poorly understood. It is still unclear what physical processes are driving the star formation in these low-density systems and what are the actual effects of...

Pan-STARRS and Gaia Synergies

Le 21 avril 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 Gene Magnier IfA Hawaii Pan-STARRS and Gaia both had their Data Release 1 in the latter half of 2016.  With photometry and astrometry of roughly 3 billion astronomical objects, the Pan-STARRS DR1 has substantial overlap with Gaia, but...

The Local Group, baryons, and the nature of dark matter

Le 7 avril 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 Mark Lovell MPIA Heidelberg It is well known that the number of Local Group galaxies is much smaller than the number density of dark matter haloes predicted by N-body cold dark matter simulations, and these same simulations often predict...

Détection de comètes extrasolaires autour d’étoiles jeunes

Le 31 mars 2017 De 10h30 à 12h00 Flavien Kiefer IAP Le jeune système planétaire entourant Beta Pictoris contient de nombreux petits corps actifs. Les observations spectroscopiques de cette étoile révèlent en effet un taux élevé de transits de petits corps en...
