Heidelberg Joint Astronomical Colloquium (WS08/09)
The Heidelberg Joint Astronomical Colloquium takes place on Tuesdays in the large auditorium of the Physikalisches Institut in Philosophenweg 12. The talks start at 5:15 p.m. The colloquium is organized jointly by the five astronomical institutes in Heidelberg. Three of these institutes are part of the Center for Astronomy of the University of Heidelberg (ZAH), namely the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ARI), the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA), and the State Observatory (LSW). Two of these institutes are part of the Max-Planck Society, namely the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) and the Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPI-K). Some of the talks are organized together with the particle physicists at the University of Heidelberg. These talks are marked in blue.| Date | Speaker | Affiliation | Title | Host |
