Prominent astrophysicist visits Ireland for talk on merging neutron-stars and gravitational waves
The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) School of Cosmic Physics will host a special event this Friday (15.12.17) with visiting astrophysics expert, Professor Luciano Rezzolla.
The lecture entitled: “The Physics and Astrophysics of Merging Neutron-Star Binaries” will take place at the Edmund Burke Theatre (Room 1008), Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin from 6pm to 7pm.
Earlier this year, three DIAS scientists participated in the break-through discovery of gravitational waves from the merging of two neutron stars. Professor Rezzolla’s talk will explore the theory of gravity, neutron stars in binary systems, and the process made in modelling these systems.
The event is free to attend, and you can register now at Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-physics-and-astrophysics-of-merging-neutron-star-binaries-tickets-39189101658
