Astro-Seminar: Federico Rizzuti - Multi-D Stellar Modelling: Connecting Stellar Interiors to Chemical Evolution

Federico Rizzuti is the next guest at the Astro-Seminar on Wednesday 28 October, taking the stage at the Fourth floor interaction area of the Physics Building, Streatham Campus. He'll be talking about multi-dimensional stellar modelling and how it connects the inner workings of stars to the chemical evolution of galaxies.

The talk centres on recent results from 3D stellar simulations, which show the interplay between different physical processes like convection and magnetic fields. It's a look at what's happening deep inside a star, and how those simulations are refining our understanding of stellar interiors. From there, Rizzuti connects the modelling to Galactic Archaeology, with implications for how galaxies are chemically enriched over time.

The session is part of the Astro-Seminar, an astrophysics seminar series held every Wednesday at 13:30 during term time, organised by Till Kaeufer, Vito Squicciarini and Nils de Vries. It's one of those regular fixtures on the university calendar, so if you're into astrophysics, this is just one of the weekly slots you can drop into. Rizzuti's talk runs from 13:30 to 14:30, so it's a lunchtime session that wraps up by half past two.
