Astronomy Seminars
Our seminars are an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in broad range of astronomical research areas with specialists in their fields. They are open to all staff and students in the department, and final year undergraduates doing astronomy projects, are particularly welcome to attend. You may also be interested in other seminars in the Department of Physics.
Astronomy seminars are normally held at 14:00 on Wednesdays, usually in room A0.28 in Millburn House, but please refer to the table below for any changes to these details. The seminars are preceded by an informal lunch with the speaker, to which all members of the Astronomy group are welcome.
For further details, or if you are interested in giving a seminar at Warwick, please contact Conor Byrne or Vatsal Panwar.
