On
Tuesday afternoons in the Library, the Astrophysics Group meets for seminars
(internal and external) and to discuss topics from general astronomy to group
matters. These get-togethers are specifically meant to be very informal. They
are intended to promote the free exchange of ideas between members of the group
and others.
Speakers normally give presentations of up to an hour
(including time for questions) and these will begin at 3pm unless stated
otherwise.
