We have a special treat this evening. Tonight we will be visited by Matthew Browning an associate professor in the Astrophysics group at the University of Exeter. This evening he will be presenting a talk entitled ‘How the stars got their spots’

We realise this is at rather short notice and hope you will be able to come. This talk is open, not just to our membership, but anyone who wishes to come along for the evening.

Professor Browning’s Bio explains his area of research.

My primary research interests are in plasma astrophysics, computational fluid dynamics generally, and stellar astronomy. I am particularly interested in convection and magnetism in stars: most stars harbor magnetic fields somewhere in their interiors, and those fields likely play a role in nearly every phase of stellar evolution. Most of my research involves using three-dimensional simulations of magnetized fluids, though I’ve also delved a bit into observational studies of stellar rotation and activity. 

Kick off is at 19:00 and the talk will start promptly at 19:30, so please be respectful and arrive on time.
