School of Physics Seminar Programme 2012-2013 - Massive Star Formation in the Milky Way
2012-12-10 15:00
Massive Star Formation in the Milky Way
New surveys at infrared and radio wavelengths are providing the means
to systematically search our Galaxy for new massive stars in the process
of forming. Although rare, massive stars have a profound affect on their
environment and the evolution of galaxies. The methodologies and
outstanding questions concerning the physical processes in massive star
birth will be discussed.
The speaker is Prof. Melvin Hoare. He obtained his PhD in 1988
at UCL and after periods at Oxford and Heidelberg, joined the star
formation group at Leeds. He performs multi-wavelength
observations of massive star formation, has led various radio
surveys of the galactic plane and is on the science
working group for the next generation Square
Kilometre Array project.

All readings will be kept short, as this reading group is meant to inspire not increase the work that everyone is doing. We will be concentrating on his radio and television plays for our first meetings. We hope that considering the implications of these works as texts will lead to stimulating discussion. We hope to foster a dialogue about how these texts are studied as ‰Û÷texts‰۪, rather than or alongside the medium in which they were incepted. Group members are welcome to bring critical pieces into discussion, but there is no pressure to do so. In fact, coming with visceral reactions that form critical inquiry as discussions progress is encouraged. Email Kristin Jones at k.jones1@nuigalway.ie and David Delaney d.delaney2@nuigalway.ie with any questions.
Week Four: 4 Dec. Nacht und TrÌ_ume
We will reconvene in Semester 2.
