Radiative-transfer modeling of massive-star explosions

Le 14 décembre 2012 À 10h30 Salle de Cours - Grande Coupole Luc DESSART LAM In this talk, I will review the basic properties of supernova light curves and spectra. I will first focus on core-collapse supernovae of Type II, which stem from the explosion of blue- and...

The initial mass function of stars and brown dwarfs

Le 7 décembre 2012 À 10h30 Salle de Cours - Grande Coupole Pavel KROUPA AIfA Bonn, Allemagne The pairing properties of stars and brown dwarfs are used to correct the observed object counts in a number of young populations. Because brown dwarfs are rarely companions to stars,...
