Title: Pulsars: The Incredible Physics of Incredible Stars
Speaker: Afiq Abdul Hamid, PhD student, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
Abstract: Pulsars/ Neutron Stars are exotic stellar remnants that exist as laboratories of extreme physics. Since their discovery 60 years ago, the study of pulsars has expanded to become a fertile field of radio astronomical research. This talk will give a broad view of the current field of radio pulsar astronomy to date with an additional look to the future horizons of the field in order to entice students to further pursue a potential future this in the area.

IUB Astronomy Night II
2023-04-13 19:30 - 21:30
Join us on the roof of the academic building of IUB for Astronomy Night II on 13 April 2023, 7:30 pm. Tanweer Hasan, PhD, the honorable Vice Chancellor of IUB, announced the beginning of astronomy nights on 9 March 2023 and ARGI will organize these nights of stargazing and open discussion regularly. Most of the astronomy nights will be open to everyone, but this week we are welcoming only IUB students, faculty and staff. Hope to see you all under a starry night!
Weather permitting, you can see the sky via the screen of our eQuinox telescope on the roof. Looking at the solar system objects through the eyepiece of a Celestron telescope or through a couple of binoculars are also possible. You can engage with our ‘astronomy nighthawks’ (undergraduate students) and ask an astronomer (Dr. Khan Asad) your questions about the universe.
Please register for the event by clicking on the Going (RSVP) button on the sidebar.
This Astronomy Night will also be a celebration of the last day of the Bangla calendar, 30 Chaitra 1429.
