Rationale

Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a 5-10 min discussion. The presentation could be a proper short focused talk or just a few slides with mainly figures, or just some simulating sketch at the white-board. The content could be some new results or ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology. Visitors are kindly invited to participate and give a presentation. Last-year PhD Student and Post-Docs are encouraged to participate and contribute talks.

When?

Every Tuesday at 03:00 pm on zoom or in hybrid mode (in person and on zoom). If on zoom only, the seminar is broadcast in the Library at LAM.
