[Astronomy seminar announcements]

Dear all,

The next SU astronomy departmental seminar will take place on Friday 
February 16 at 10:30am in room FC61 (AlbaNova building, 6th floor) and 
on zoom 
(https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/62211269644?pwd=K0J2eVVMa3pTa1JVN2lyRUJPR3Rjdz09).

Speaker: Daniel Siegel (University of Greifswald)
Title: Nucleosynthesis and electromagnetic transients from neutron-star 
mergers and rare types of core-collapse supernovae
Event: https://indico.fysik.su.se/e/daniel_siegel

Abstract: Multi-messenger astronomy sheds light on the astrophysics of 
black holes and neutron stars and also enables unique probes of 
fundamental physics. I will discuss recent results on how the mergers of 
neutron stars as well as other explosive systems, such as the death of 
massive, rotating stars, give rise to the formation of heavy elements in 
the universe. In particular, I will discuss recent results at the 
interface of numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, and 
nuclear astrophysics, and highlight how multi-messenger astronomy may 
lead to the answer of a 70-year old fundamental question in physics: How 
does the Universe create the heaviest elements?
