Giovedì 5 febbraio alle ore 15:00 Gabriele Gionti, S.J. (Vatican Observatory e LNF-INFN) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Why We Still Can’t Model Our Universe: A Guide to Quantum Gravity”. ABSTRACT: Einstein’s General Relativity is a highly successful theory for describing the universe at solar system, galactic and extra-galactic scales. However, it encounters fundamental limits at […]
Giovedì 22 gennaio alle ore 15:00, il Dott. Umberto Battino (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II & INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico d’Abruzzo, IT) terrà il seminario dal titolo “Heavy Elements as Clues to the Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae”. Abstract: A Type Ia supernova (SNIa) marks the catastrophic explosion of a white dwarf in a binary system. […]
Giovedì 15 gennaio alle ore 15:00, la Dott.ssa Laura Schreiber (INAF-OAS, Bologna) terrà il seminario dal titolo “Why the PSF matters in Adaptive Optics imaging of stellar fields (and how to deal with it!)”. Abstract: The Point Spread Function (PSF) describes how an imaging system responds to a point source. Accurate knowledge of the PSF is essential […]
Giovedì 11 dicembre alle ore 15:00, il Dott. Stuart Sim (Queen’s University Belfast, UK) terrà il seminario intitolato “Thermonuclear supernovae: how to blow up a white dwarf star”. Abstract: Aside from being spectacular displays in their own right, Type Ia supernova explosions have a key role in measuring the expansion history of the Universe and synthesizing the iron […]
Giovedì 27 novembre alle ore 14:00, il Dott. Matteo Bezmalinovich (INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico d’Abruzzo, IT) terrà il seminario dal titolo “Modelling of early-stage kilonova ejecta opacity in the multi-messenger era: the selenium case”. Abstract: In the multi-messenger era, kilonovae (KNe) represent key sites of rapid (r-) neutron capture process nucleosynthesis. KNe are quasi-thermal electromagnetic […]
Giovedì 06 novembre alle ore 15:00, il Dott. Giorgio Valerin (INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova) terrà il seminario dal titolo “In search of the elusive Electron-Capture Supernova”. Abstract: Electron-Capture Supernovae (ECSNe) are a type of weak stellar explosions theorised to arise from stars with initial masses roughly between 8 and 10 solar masses. Models which […]
Giovedì 23 ottobre alle ore 15:00, la Dott.ssa Lara Piscarreta (ESO – Garching, Germany) terrà il seminario dal titolo “Probing accretion and stellar properties in the Orion Nebula with VLT/X-Shooter”. Abstract: As the environments where planets form, protoplanetary disks provide fundamental insights into the conditions for planet formation. Particularly, the timescale of disk dispersal defines […]
Giovedì 16 ottobre alle ore 15:00, il Dott. Marco Padovani, dell’INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, terrà il seminario dal titolo “Cosmic rays: shaping chemistry in star-forming regions”. Abstract: Low-energy (<1 GeV) cosmic rays are a key element in several physical and chemical processes of the interstellar medium, from the large scales of molecular clouds to the […]
Giovedì 02 ottobre alle ore 15:00, il Dott. Gabriele Riccio, dell’INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico d’Abruzzo, terrà il seminario dal titolo “FAST-SBF: a tool for measuring extragalactic distances with next-generation surveys”. Abstract: A precise determination of the distance is essential for deriving nearly all key physical properties of cosmic structures and objects, including their mass, luminosity, and size. […]
Giovedì 18 settembre aprile alle ore 15:00, la Dott.ssa Eleonora Loffredo, dell’INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico d’Abruzzo, terrà il seminario dal titolo “Kilonova modelling: from r-process yields in binary neutron star mergers to population studies”. Abstract: Binary neutron star (BNS) mergers eject neutron-rich matter, providing ideal conditions for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements via the r-process. The radioactive […]
