(DOTTORATO IN FISICA) "Simulating polarimetric properties of GRS1915+105 in thermal state with the future IXPE mission"
Abstract: As a part of es We summarize main characteristics of polarimetry in
astrophysics and introduce the
upcoming Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite. We present our
analysis on simulated observations of the X-ray binary source GRS1915+105 with IXPE
as a key means of establishing observational plan for the IXPE observatory.
ore 18:30 Livio de Fabrizio
(DOTTORATO IN FISICA) "Alfvén Waves in Magnetized Plasmas: General Aspects"
Abstract: Starting with a general introduction to plasma physics, we review the main
aspects concerning Alfvén waves and in particular Kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW), and
then conclude with some comments on a current line of research and its potential
applications.
ore 19:00 Francesca Acanfora
(DOTTORATO IN FISICA) What are hypercomplex numbers and how can I use them?
Abstract: some straightforward introduction on quaternions and octonions, their
connection with rotations and symmetries and a link to the Standard Model.
