[vip-all] Talents
by Ulrik Ingerslev Uggerhøj 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?). Mvh. Ulrik ************ Ulrik I. Uggerhøj Department of Physics and Astronomy Aarhus University Ny Munkegade 120 DK-8000 Aarhus Denmark Mobile: +45 2338 2373 e-mail: ulrik(a)phys.au.dk

Læs følgende nyheder for uge 40: Group Team-Spirit inviterer medarbejdere ved IFA til uformel morgenhygge Vi håber I vil komme til hyggelig morgenmad med kollegaerne på IFA: Fredag d. 10. oktober kl. 9.15 i 1525-626. Husk tilmelding senest 8. oktober. De hyggeligste hilsner Pia Bomholt Jensen og Karin Vittrup. Se invitation.<http://phys.medarbejdere.au.dk/fileadmin/site_files/event/morgenhygge_team-…> Ændring af åbningstider i Informationen fra 1. oktober I forbindelse med besparelsesrunden i foråret, blev det besluttet at nedsætte åbningstiden i Informationen. Det betyder, at fra den 1. oktober er der kun åbent fra kl. 8.30-12.00. Vi har meddelt vore pakke leverandører, at vi kun modtager post om formiddagen. Medarbejdere kan selvfølgelig som altid låse sig ind efter klokken 12, men der vil ikke være personlig betjening. Vedrørende brevpost og forsendelser: Den interne post ved AU har også sparet en postrunde væk, således at der nu kun kommer intern post om formiddagen. Alle forsendeler ud af huset skal afleveres om morgenen så tidligt som muligt i Informationen, hvis de skal sendes samme dag. Venlig hilsen Ruth. Ændring i rengøringsprocedure I forbindelse med besparelserne på Aarhus Universitet, er vi nødt til at ændre på rengøringsomfanget på konterer. Kontorer vil stadigvæk blive grundig rengjort en gang om ugen, men: · Din skraldespand vil IKKE blive tømt. I stedet vil der på kontoret blive stillet en kasse frem til opsamling af papir sammen med din affaldspand. · Du vælger selv hvornår du vil TØMME dit papir og affald ved nærmeste opsamlingsstation. Papir der afleveres i åbne poser på gange makuleres ikke. De går til genanvendelse. HUSK papir bliver kun makuleret hvis det afleveres i de specielle sikkerhedsspande med låst låg. Denne ændring i rengøringen træder i kraft 1. oktober 2014. Spørgsmål bedes rettet til: Rikke Thorsdatter Holtet rth(a)au.dk<mailto:rth@au.dk> Maria Svendstrup Harder msh(a)au.dk<mailto:msh@au.dk>.

This is done at the nearest trashcan/paper box station. Paper placed in the open bags in the corridors will not be shredded. It will be recycled. Please REMEMBER that paper will only be shredded if it is delivered in the specially assigned security bins with hard lids. This change will take place 1st October, 2014.

[vip-all] IFA skovtur / picnic
by Grete Flarup 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Kære alle Den årlige skovtur finder i år sted torsdag den 9. oktober. Vi kører fra parkeringspladsen mellem fysik og kemi kl 12:15. Turen vil byde på lidt til ganen samt snacks undervejs, men ingen egentlig frokost. Vi slutter dagen af på et lokalt spisested, hvor vi får aftensmad. Der er i år plads til 100 deltagere, og tilmeldingen foregår efter først-til-mølle princippet i Informationen (mellem 10:15 og 12:00, mandag-torsdag) ved samtidig betaling af 160 kr. Tilmeldingsfristen er 1. oktober. I år er skovturen blandt andre sponsoreret af DM. Dear all The annual picnic takes place on Thursday, October 9th this year. We will depart from the parking lot between Physics and Chemistry at 12:15 pm. Beverages and snacks will be served on the trip, but there will not be an actual lunch. The day will end on a local restaurant where the dinner will be served. We can accommodate 100 participants, and the registration is first come first served in Informationen (between 10:15 pm and 12:00 pm, Monday to Thursday) with simultaneous payment of 160 kr. Last chance to sign up is October 1st. Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Skovturs komiteen / Picnic committee

[vip-all] AMO Seminar today
by Grete Flarup 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

AMO Seminar - Thomas Baumert: Photoelectron Circular Dichroism from Multiphoton Ionization with Femtosecond Laser Pulses Dato tor 25 sep Tid 15:15 - 16:30 Sted Fys. Aud. Speaker: Thomas Baumert fra Universitaet Kassel / Institut fuer Physik und CINSaT Title: Photoelectron Circular Dichroism from Multiphoton Ionization with Femtosecond Laser Pulses Abstract: Chirality plays an important role in nearly all areas of fundamental and applied science, as often the interaction of chiral objects with each other depends on their handedness. Prominent examples taken from molecular sciences are the interaction of chiral drugs with the corresponding chiral receptors in the human body giving rise to different follow-up reactions or the interaction of circularly polarized light with chiral molecules giving rise to different chiroptical effects. The first example highlights the importance of developing ultrasensitive and fast methods for chiral analysis and the second hints to a convenient way to perform such an analysis. [http://phys.au.dk/uploads/RTEmagicC_baumert.jpg.jpg] Photoelectron Circular Dichroism from Multiphoton Ionization with Femtosecond Laser Pulses is a CD effect in the ten percent regime and therefore very promising with that respect. In this talk I will take Bicyclic Ketones as an example and will give a detailed account of our current experiments devoted to that topic. Coffee/tea and cake will be served at 15:05

[vip-all] Reminder: SAC Seminar - Thomas Tauris: Aspects of Stellar Evolution in Close Binaries (and Triples) - note change of location
by Brigitte Henderson 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

SAC Seminar - Aspects of Stellar Evolution in Close Binaries (and Triples) Speaker: Thomas Tauris (Astronomical Institute, University of Bonn; Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Bonn) In: 1532-116 (G1 - the Math's Department) TITLE: Aspects of Stellar Evolution in Close Binaries (and Triples) ABSTRACT: I will discuss stellar evolution in close binaries and highlight some exotic outcomes. Examples of the differences from single stellar evolution will be shown and in particular I will focus on three cases: ultra-stripped Type Ic SNe, progenitor evolution leading to accretion-induced collapseof massive ONeMg white dwarfs, and thermal evolution of low-mass (proto) helium white dwarfs. If time permits, I may say a few words about hypervelocity stars as well

General Physics Colloquium Wed. 17th September 15:15-16:00 Fys. Aud. 'Millisecond Pulsars: Multifaceted Astrophysical Laboratories' Thomas M. Tauris Universität Bonn / MPIfR Neutron stars are unique creations that allow for fundamental studies in many disciplines of physics. Those which interact with a companion star in a close binary system provide excellent astrophysical laboratories with which to probe and improve our understanding of stellar physics, supernova explosions, accretion processes and gravitational wave sources. Radio millisecond pulsars are of special interest since they are old neutron stars which have been spun-up to very high rotation frequencies via accretion of mass and angular momentum from a companion star. I will discuss the formation of millisecond pulsars and demonstrate that their properties, revealed from high-precision measurements, are fossil records of their past evolutionary history and therefore provide an excellent playground for theoretical modelling.
