The Astronomy & Astrophysics Seminar is designed for people to present
their recent work, current articles, or seminal papers, in an informal
and friendly environment. We encourage talks from people at all
levels ranging from faculty to advanced undergraduates.
We normally meet at noon every Tuesday in Room 1089.
