"Research
in
Astrophysics at UConn"
Moshe Gai
UConn and Yale University
18 March 2008
Abstract:
In
the Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS) at Avery Point (http://astro.uconn.edu),
AKA as the Laboratory for Astrophysics, we carry out a rich program of
research in Astrophysics. On one hand we use the sun to study
fundamental physics, such as weak interactions or neutrino masses. And
on the other hand we concentrate on open central problems in stellar
evolution theory, such as supernova explosions. In this short talk we
will review the science pursued at the LNS at Avery Point in an attempt
to have a short hour of unadulterated fun (i.e. no math).

We
will be hosting the
SPS Zone1 meeting at the end of this month. Registration is free
for all students and $20 for non-students. There will be student
presentations on research as well as a poster session. The
keynote speaker is our own Dr. Ron Mallett, who will be speaking about
his work with time travel. We hope to see you there!
