[Astronomy seminar] Reminder: Astronomy departmental seminar Friday February 16 at 10:30am - Daniel Siegel (University of Greifswald)

[Astronomy seminar announcements]

Dear all,


This is a reminder of the weekly SU astronomy departmental seminar that will take place in about 63 minutes, at 10:30am in room FC61 (AlbaNova building, 6th floor) and on zoom (https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/62211269644?pwd=K0J2eVVMa3pTa1JVN2lyRUJPR3Rjdz09). As usual, we encourage you to attend in person if possible.

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?
