Winter 2006
The astro seminar is a platform for all researchers in Astrophysics, i.e. grad students, PHD students, instructors, postdocs, professors [did I forget anybody?], to present their work or (as in a journal club) a paper they find interesting.
The seminar starts at 12.00.
Time slots are 30 minutes for the talk, plus 15 minutes for questions
and discussion.
Please send me the
title of your talk, together with a useful reference (if applicable) at
least 8 days ahead of your talk, so I can properly announce it.
