[Fisica CT] [Events] Science Colloquium @ DFA (Jordi José, 08/04 h 14:45)

Martedì 8 aprile 2025, con inizio alle ore 14:45, presso la Sala Conferenze del DFA (pianterreno), il Prof. Jordi José (UPCat) terrà uno Science Colloquium dal titolo Bang! Zoom! Kaboom! Stellar Explosions and the Cosmic Origin of the Elements.
 

Tutte le persone interessate (in particolare, Studentesse e Studenti, Dottorande e Dottorandi al DFA) sono invitate a partecipare.

 
Un piccolo rinfresco (caffè e biscottini) sarà offerto ai partecipanti poco prima (14:45) dell'inizio (15:00) del Colloquium.
 
Science Colloquia del DFA “Ettore Majorana” sono appuntamenti con la scienza dedicati a Ricercatrici e Ricercatori, Studentesse e Studenti (della Laurea Magistrale in Physics, del terzo anno della Laurea Triennale in Fisica, e dei Dottorati al DFA) interessati a condividere argomenti ed esperienze di ricerca. I Science Colloquia, coordinati dai Proff. Giuseppe Falci e Livio Lamia, si tengono con cadenza mensile.
 
Abstract. Nuclear astrophysics aims at understanding the cosmic origin of the chemical elements and the energy generation in stars. It constitutes a truly multidisciplinary arena that combines tools, developments and achievements in theoretical astrophysics, observational astronomy, cosmochemistry and nuclear physics: supercomputers have provided astrophysicists with the required computational capabilities to study the evolution of stars in a multidimensional framework; the emergence of high-energy astrophysics with space-borne observatories has opened new windows to observe the Universe, from a novel panchromatic perspective; cosmochemists have isolated tiny pieces of stardust embedded in primitive meteorites, giving clues on the processes operating in stars as well as on the way matter condenses to form solids; and nuclear physicists are measuring reactions near stellar energies, using stable and radioactive ion beams. This talk will provide a comprehensive insight into the nucleosynthesis accompanying stellar explosions, with particular emphasis on some recent advances in the modeling of type Ia supernovae, classical and recurrent novae, and type I X-ray bursts.
