The NSAS General Meeting will be on Tuesday 18 May at St. Ignatius, 7:30 PM. The speaker is Chris Hales from USyd and CSIRO, and his talk will be on Cosmic Magnetism.
Abstract: Chris Hales is a PhD candidate studying the as-yet unknown
origin of tenuous large-scale magnetic fields that exist in galaxies like
our own Milky Way. How do these weak fields remain undistrupted in objects
as complex as galaxies? How did they get there in the first place? And how
do you even “see” a magnetic field? In this talk Chris will outline his
research, as well as the future prospects for radio astronomy with the
upcoming EUR1.5b Square Kilometre Array.
