Astrophysics Group Meetings and Seminars


Every Thursday afternoon, the Astrophysics Group meets for seminars.

The time allocated to speakers for their presentations is about 50 minutes (plus 10 minutes for questions). Seminars begin at 2.30pm unless stated otherwise.
Given the current climate, all seminars are currently done remotely. We hope to have in person seminars again soon!

Paul Kuin is the seminar organiser. If you have any comments or if you would like to visit MSSL and give a seminar, please drop either Paul or Mark a line.
