This term, we will discuss
General Format: Presentations in the usual colloquium format, e.g., power point. When the speaker announces a reference paper, please make the effort to read it in advance so that we can all actively participate in the parley. An obvious place to look for potential papers remains:
http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/astro-ph
We also strongly encourage students to become familiar and search the ADS astronomy page for articles that are already published, and thus peer reviewed, at:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
* We will definitely have external speakers this quarter, the schedule below will be updated as information becomes available.
A list of "in charge" discussion leaders/speakers will be updated weekly and can be found here:
