DESCRIPTION:*Dan Mortimer: ‘Optical interferometry: Because sometimes a 
 40-meter telescope just isn’t big enough’*\nOptical interferometry is 
 a powerful tool which\, by physically combining the light from separate te
 lescopes\, allows for unprecedented levels of spatial resolution to be rea
 ched. This allows for observations only possible by optical interferometry
  such as imaging the inner few astronomical units of forming stars or the 
 surface of other stars themselves. In this talk I will give an overview of
  what optical interferometry is and how it works before going on to discus
 s the innovations of the MROI\, a new generation optical interferometer un
 der construction in New Mexico.\n\n*Andrew Sellek: ‘How To Make A Bigger
  Supernova’* \nSupernovae are very effective at disrupting the galaxy ar
 ound them\, which is important for star formation and galaxy evolution. I'
 ll discuss how supernovae blasts grow with time and how cosmic rays affect
  this.\n\nThe talks will be followed by refreshments outside the lecture t
 heatre and then a trip to the pub. \nThe talks will be at 7:30pm at the us
 ual location of Wolfson lecture theatre in the Department of Chemistry. Th
 e entrance is the opposite side of the building to Bristol-Myers-Squibb Le
 cture theatre and is opposite the car park- shown by the red arrow on the 
 map. https://map.cam.ac.uk/Department+of+Chemistry#52.197964\,0.125242\,18
