- Network in Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar
- Asteroseismology: diving deep into stars
- Time: 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
- Place: Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 912 3071 4547
- Speaker: Prof. Conny Aerts , KU Leuven, Radboud University, and MPIA
- Abstract: Asteroseismology has been bringing breakthrough science since more than a decade now. In this webinar, 2022 Kavli and 2024 Crafoord laureate Conny Aerts will introduce the basic principles of asteroseismology and explain its capacity to probe stellar interiors. It will be shown how applications to sun-like stars and red giants feed exoplanetary and galactic science. We also cover recent applications to stars rotating much faster than the Sun. We discuss how gravito-inertial asteroseismology offers to estimate the internal rotation and chemical mixing deep inside stars, with major implications for stellar evolution. We end with exciting future opportunities for this booming research field of astrophysics.

- Wisconsin Quantum Institute
- Quantum Coffee Hour
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- Place: Rm.5294, Chamberlin Hall
- Abstract: Please join us for the WQI Quantum Coffee today at 3PM in the Physics Faculty Lounge (Rm.5294 in Chamberlin Hall). This series, which takes place approximately every other Tuesday, aims to foster a casual and collaborative atmosphere where faculty, post-docs, students, and anyone with an interest in quantum information sciences can come together. There will be coffee and treats.
