SUMMARY:Asteroseismology as a tool for astrophysics: from the deep interio
 rs of stars to the evolution of the Milky Way - Andrea Miglio
DTSTART:20181113T193000Z

UID:TALK111973@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Hannah Sanderson
DESCRIPTION:In the last decade the study and interpretation of global osci
 llations in stars has undergone a dramatic development thanks to the adven
 t of space-based telescopes such as CoRoT and Kepler. In this contribution
  I will review our endeavours towards a detailed understanding of stellar 
 structure and evolution and I will discuss the symbiosis between stellar s
 eismology and both exoplanetary and Galactic science. I will then emphasis
 e the wider significance of asteroseismology as a tool for testing stellar
  physics\, with examples on how seismic predictions depend on our (often p
 oor) knowledge of the relevant physics. Future prospects in the light of f
 uture ambitious space missions such as NASA-TESS and ESA-Plato will also b
 e briefly presented.\n\nTickets are £2 or free for members. Annual member
 ship (£7) and life membership (£12) can also be purchased at the event -
  please bring cash.\nThe talk will be followed by refreshments outside the
  lecture theatre.\n\nThe talk will be at the usual location of Wolfson lec
 ture theatre in the Department of Chemistry. The entrance is the opposite 
 side of the building to Bristol-Myers-Squibb Lecture theatre and is opposi
 te the car park- shown by the red arrow on the map. "https://map.cam.ac.uk
