Galaxy Discussion Group (2016 - 2017)

This is the page for the 2016/2017 NRAO/UVA Galaxy Discussion Group. The purpose of this group is to discuss various topics related to galaxies, AGN, and the evolution of both. The discussions are informal and are led by volunteers depending on the topic of the day.

Contact Kyle Penner (kpenner at nrao.edu) or Kristina Nyland (knyland at nrao.edu) to be added to the email list for this group.

Meetings

Tuesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 in the NRAO Library.

General Topics

• recent papers, conference reviews
• advertisements for upcoming meetings
• visitors
• this week in astro-ph (an option for broad, but shallow, discussion during weeks when no one is available to lead anything more in depth)
• recent results and plots made by group members, open for discussion
• relevant and timely topics as suggested or requested by the group
