Astronomy Journal Club
On Wednesday mornings, once a fortnight, we meet at 11:30
(unless otherwise stated) for a journal club.
The location for each meeting will be announced beforehand.
Attendees bring interesting papers, and a brief introduction is given to the Journal Club.
Each paper presentation is then followed by discussion.
The entire event should take one hour.
The papers could be anything published in the last year
in astrophysics, related science and relevant to astronomy.
We encourage MSSL astronomers and astrophysicists
to come to Journal Club for a discussion on recent research.
Please contact Megan Whewell with suggested papers, or for other JC
queries.
Links to suggested and discussed papers will be added below.
