[Astronomy seminar announcements]

Dear all,
this week astro seminar will be given by prof. and ApJ ed. Giovanni Carraro from Padua University.
The seminar will take place the 26th of January at 10:30 in FC 61 (6th floor).
Title and abstract are attached.

Kind regards,

TITLE: Final products of stellar evolution in high metallicity environments and the UV upturn in Elliptical Galaxies

ABSTRACT: I will review the properties of the old, metal rich, massive open cluster NGC 6791. 
First of all I will show how its properties help us to better understand the origin of the UV upturn in the spectral energy distribution of massive local volume ellipticals.
Second, I will discuss the possible origin of this unique object in the framework of the Milky Way chemical and dynamical evolution.
