Date January 20, 2017 (Friday)
Time 4:00 p.m.
Venue Room 522, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

Abstract
 

While Magnetic Fields are described as an efficient mechanism which can affect evolved stars in different ways (via the shaping of their envelopes for example), observational probes for the presence of those fields are still scarce. I will present our latest work on the detection and measurement of Magnetic Fields in various evolved objects.

Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
