This page is used for
scheduling of Charlottesville astronomy/astrophysics colloquia by Scott
Ransom and Aaron Evans. Once dates have been agreed on by the
speakers and hosts, they are added to the online calendar
which
may therefore be 1-2
days out of date.
Usually colloquia are
Thursdays at 4:00 PM in NRAO's Edgemont Rd auditorium. However,
other days of the week (especially Mondays) at 4:00 PM are
possible as well.
Coffee and cookies are
served 15-20 min before the talks.
Dates
in red are at special times or locations.
Open dates,
with speakers to be determined, are in green.
Dates with no planned talks are
in blue.
If the hosting institution is
listed as CCU, that is the new joint Center for Chemistry of the
Universe.
