Giovedì 18 giugno alle ore 15:00 Tom Richtler (U. de Concepcion, Chile) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Modified Newtonian Dynamics – a competitor to the dark matter paradigm”. Abstract: About 1980 it became clear that flat rotation curves of spiral galaxies could not be explained by stellar population properties, but apparently needed invisible matter. Moti Milgrom (1983) […]
Giovedì 04 giugno alle ore 15:00 Maria Pia Di Mauro (INAF – Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali, Rome, Italy) terrà un seminario dal titolo “The impact of asteroseismology in modern astrophysics“. Abstract: Asteroseismology has evolved from a largely descriptive discipline into one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in modern astrophysics, providing unique constraints on the internal […]
Giovedì 30 aprile alle ore 15:00 Achille Nucita (Università del Salento, Lecce) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Lensing at all scales”. Abstract: Gravitational lensing has emerged as a powerful tool for probing the Universe across a vast range of physical scales. We give an overview of the gravitational lensing phenomena, from retro-lensing by black holes […]
Giovedì 23 aprile alle ore 12:00 Matteo Monelli (INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico d’Abruzzo) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Resolved stellar populations as tracers of galaxy evolution“. Abstract: Resolved stellar populations in Local Group galaxies provide fundamental information to understand galaxy formation and evolution, which can be constrained using their photometric, spectroscopic, and dynamical properties. Pulsating […]
Giovedì 16 aprile alle ore 12:00 Nicholas Devaney (University of Galway, Irlanda) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Direct imaging of exoplanets: techniques, instruments, and future prospects”. Abstract: This seminar will present an introduction to the direct imaging of exoplanets and review the current status of the field. While several thousand exoplanets have been discovered, primarily […]
Giovedì 26 marzo alle ore 12:00 Elena Valenti (European Southern Observatory, Garching – Germania) terrà un seminario dal titolo “From Questions to Answer: The Milky Way bulge with MOONS”. ABSTRACT: The formation of bulges remains one of the key open questions in galaxy evolution. Several mechanisms have been proposed – such as the dynamical instability […]
Giovedì 12 marzo alle ore 15:00 Francesca Annibali (INAF – Osservatorio di Astrofisica e Scienza dello Spazio di Bologna) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Building Dwarf Galaxies from the Bottom Up: Evidence for Dwarf–Dwarf Mergers in the Nearby Universe”. ABSTRACT: Although interactions and mergers are a fundamental component of the commonly accepted Lambda CDM paradigm, direct […]
Giovedì 26 febbraio alle ore 15:00 Benedetta Vulcani (INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Galaxy Morphology Across Cosmic Time: Environment, Evolution, and the MICADO Breakthrough”. ABSTRACT: Galaxy morphology encodes key information about how galaxies form and evolve. In the local Universe, morphological trends with stellar mass and environment are now well established, providing strong […]
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. […]
