CAS Research Seminar
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Astrophysical Sciences presents a 45 minute seminar (almost) every Tuesday at 3:30pm in Bloomberg 462 (unless otherwise indicated). The aim of the seminars is to present recent and exciting results to the local astronomical community. Unlike the STScI colloquium series and the JHU Physics and Astronomy Colloquia, The CAS seminar series has a meager (non-existent) budget. Therefore we will rely heavily on the astronomers of the area to provide the speakers. Since we represent one of the largest and most vibrant astronomical communities on the planet, we should have no shortage of science to present. We are especially in hearing from CAS astronomers.
If you have resarch you would like to present please email me, Gerhardt Meurer (meurer -at- pha.jhu.edu) - the CAS seminar host. The schedule for Summer 2008 is given below. All branches of astronomy are encouraged to participate in filling these slots.
Graduate students please note: CAS Seminar can be taken for 1 hour credit. See course listing 172.731 (fall) or 172.732 (spring).
External visitors may benefit from detailed directions to CAS and my office.
Finally, if you have suggestions about how to improve the CAS seminars or you know someone you would like to hear speak, please email me.
Time: 3:30pm
