Speaker: Dr. Fabrice Martins (Université de Montpellier) Title: Very massive stars in the local Universe, and beyond Abstract: Massive stars play a major role in various fields of astrophysics because of their rich nucleosynthesis, their powerful stellar winds, their ionizing fluxes and their explosive final evolution (core-collapse supernovae, gamma-ray bursts). They sometimes leave […]

Speaker: Dr. Julien Morin Title: Spectropolarimetric observations of M dwarfs: from dynamos to exoplanets Abstract: Magnetic fields, their generation by dynamo effect and the activity phenomena they induce are central to the physics of cool stars and their planetary systems throughout their evolution. Among cool stars, the least massive ones largely dominate the […]
Dear all, The Galaxy Evolution Circle will restart in a different format. Every two weeks, we will pick-up a particular subject. The idea will be to create a round table where we will discuss the following points: – An small introduction. – Classic and recent articles. – Active (LAM) people working on the subject. – Instruments. – On-going and future projects. – Perspective. For our second G.E Circle (28/Oct./15h at Mistral room) we propose to discuss Star formation in The WM and nearby galaxies. The idea is to maintain the discussion lively and informal. We look forward to have your presence in person.
