SUMMARY:OCA General Meeting - DEC 2018
DESCRIPTION:Astrophysics learning from the detection of Gravitational Waves\n\nWe often said that the detection of gravitational waves would open a new window on the Universe.\nWell\, it was more surprising than expected.\nI will illustrate the latest events found in the data\, give you a glimpse of the strange things that we see through that window\, and attempt an early summary of some astrophysical implications.\n\nDocuments with in-depth information about the topic from the Erice School Of Nuclear Physics can be downloaded below. \n\nDocument 1\nDocument 2\nDocument 3\n\nAbout OCA General Meetings\nThe OCA has a general meeting held on the second Friday of every month* at Chapman University.\nThese meetings are free and open to the general public.\nThe meetings take place in The Irvine Lecture Hall with seating for approximately 250 people.\nThe Irvine Lecture Hall (located adjacent to the Hashinger Science Center) is near the south east corner of the campus and the nearest cross street is East Palm Ave and North Center Street.\nAfter the slideshow\, the meeting officially starts at 7:30 PM.\nThe basic agenda\, with approximate times\, is as shown below. \n* Please check here for any changes to the date of the meeting (rarely we get a scheduling conflict which results in the meeting being pushed back a week). \nAgenda\n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 7:30 PM\nPre-meeting Slide Show\nArrival of audience.
