How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Dr Gavin Ramsay (Armagh Observatory): Superflares on the Sun and Solar-type stars
MS Teams

Abstract: We know that activity from the Sun can affect the Earth's ionosphere with the resulting disruption of electrical grids and therefore human activity. I will place the Sun in the context of other stars and outline how Solar flares are generated. One key question is how often Solar 'Super' flares occur. With telescopes such as Kepler and TESS, we are now able to study many stars which are similar to the Sun and
determine how often Super-flares occur on Solar-type stars. Finally I will briefly discuss how stellar activity can affect both the detection of exo-solar planets and their atmospheres.
