SUMMARY:Online General Meeting – November 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public online event. \nJoin Zoom\n\n\n  \nX-raying the Winds of Giant Stars\n\n  \n\n  \n  \n  \nWe are made of stardust—or\, at least in significant parts\, of material produced in giant stars. These giant stars have strong winds that strip away the outer layers of stellar material. To understand giant stars\, astronomers thus need to understand their winds. In this talk\, Dr. Grinberg will explain why astrophysicists use space-based X-ray telescopes such as ESA’s XMM-Newton to study such winds and show how they are using black holes and neutron stars as backlights to make such stellar winds visible. \n  \nPhoto:Friedhelm Albrecht/Universität Tübingen \n  \nDr. Victoria Grinberg is an astrophysicist working in the Netherlands for the European Space Agency (ESA) where she helps ESA communicate with the scientific community. After her PhD in Germany\, her research has taken her around the world – USA\, the Netherlands and again Germany – before accepting her current position. Using space-based telescopes\, Dr. Grinberg is studying the most extreme environments in our Universe: black holes\, neutron stars\, and the winds of the most massive giant stars. She also publishes on sustainability and climate crisis from an astrophysics perspective. In her free time\, Dr. Grinberg creates cartoons about science and academia. \nViews: 72

SUMMARY:Online General Meeting – October 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public online event. \nJoin Zoom\n\n  \n  \nThe Dynamic Sky:\n  \n  \nHow We Find Discover and Understand\n  \n  \nStellar Explosions in the 21st Century\n  \n\n \n  \nHumans have recorded the appearance of “new stars” since prehistory\, but only in the last century have astronomers begun to understand their nature as stellar explosions. These “supernovae” provide clues about the lives and deaths of stars\, the formation and evolution of galaxies\, the production and distribution of chemical elements (including those required for life on Earth)\, and even the accelerating expansion of the Universe. \n \nIn the last two decades\, the discovery rate of supernovae has ballooned from hundreds per year to tens of thousands per year\, and in the coming decade\, it will reach into the millions. This explosion can be traced back to the same technological advances behind the Internet age: high-speed telecommunications\, digital imaging\, increased computer processing power\, and machine learning. This presentation will explore the history and future of supernova observations\, with a focus on the technology behind them and the science they enable. \n  \n \n  \nDr. Griffin Hosseinzadeh is a postdoctoral researcher at Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona\, where he studies various types of stellar explosions. He was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. He received his bachelor’s in physics from UC Berkeley in 2012 and his Ph.D. in astrophysics from UC Santa Barbara in 2018. \n  \n  \nViews: 72

SUMMARY:Online General Meeting – September 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public online event. \nJoin Zoom\n\n\n  \nCosmic rays\, antimatter\, dark matter:\n\n\n  \nconnecting the dots\n\n  \n \n  \n\nIn August 1912\, Austrian physicist Victor Hess made a discovery that opened a new window to the most energetic phenomena happening in the universe: he had discovered cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles coming from space and striking the Earth from all directions. After a century of transformative discoveries and advancements\, cosmic-ray physics is a lively and interdisciplinary field of research. In recent years\, space-born experiments have delivered many new measurements of cosmic-ray protons\, nuclei\, electrons\, and their antiparticles which generate renewed interest and prompted new open questions. This colloquium will address the main open questions in cosmic rays concerning their nature\, their origin\, and their connection with the dark matter puzzle. Emphasis will be given to the rare antimatter component\, which is a promising discovery tool for new fundamental physics or exotic astrophysical phenomena. \n  \n \n  \nNicola Tomassetti is an astroparticle physicist and space scientist. He is an associate professor at the Department of Physics and Geology at the University of Perugia\, Italy. His research interests include cosmic rays\, dark matter\, antimatter\, heliospheric\, and space physics phenomena. He is part of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer collaboration for the search for dark matter and antimatter in space. He teaches introductory physics\, space physics\, cosmology & astroparticles for undergraduate\, master’s degree\, and PhD students. \nViews: 72
