The Extreme Side of Pulsars

Pulsars are the compact cores of dead stars that periodically flash radio beams at Earth. The regularity of their flashing makes them somewhat like highly accurate clocks--however not all pulsars are very well behaved. This lecture will give a background to pulsar astronomy and detail the extreme behaviours that some of these enigmatic stars exhibit. New, bizarre classes of pulsars are regularly being discovered, and we will present hot-off-the-press discoveries that have been made by an international team of astronomers that includes members of the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing.

The Origin of Galaxies

Curiously, the structures and origins of galaxies remain one of the least understood areas of astronomy. Stellar structure and evolution are known very well, and so is the evolution of the Universe as a whole. Fortunately we can actually observe the process of galaxy evolution by looking into deep time using optical telescopes. Our ideas of this process have been up-ended in this decade by the Hubble Telescope views and by the new generation of ground-based telescopes. Karl will attempt to give some flavour to this story by telling his personal journey with colleagues through the early Universe. The story involves the Gemini Telescopes, Hubble, and a curious technique known as 'nod & shuffle'. *** Professor Glazebrook graduated with a PhD from the University of Edinburgh before working as a post-doc at the Universities of Durham and Cambridge. He first moved to Australia in 1995 as a staff astronomer at the Anglo-Australian Observatory in Sydney for 5 years, before spending 6 years as a Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA (just over the road from the Space Telescope Science Institute). In 2006 he returned to Australia to become a Professor at Swinburne. Karl's research focuses on the evolution of galaxies and also on cosmology. http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/karl

The Life History of the Universe

Astronomers believe our Universe began in a Big Bang, and is expanding around us. Brian will describe the Universe that we live in, and how astronomers have used observations to trace our Universe's history back more than 13 billion years. We are just beginning to observe and understand how the first stars, galaxies, and black holes transformed the lifeless Universe into the vibrant Cosmos we see today. A vast array of new observatories are planned for the coming decade that will enable us to see the life history of the Universe, and better understand the ultimate fate of the Cosmos. This lecture is made possible with the support of Swinburne Astronomy Online http://astronomy.swinburne.edu.au/sao/ ___ Brian Schmidt is an astronomer at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at ANU. He works on a range of topics related to observational cosmology, and studies supernovae and gamma ray bursts. He is the scientific leader of the new SkyMapper Telescope and Southern Sky Survey. Brian's research has been recognized with a number of accolades, including the Gruber Prize for Cosmology, the Shaw Prize, the Vainu Bappu Medal, the Australian Academy of Science Pawsey Medal, and the Australian Government's Malcolm McIntosh Prize. Brian is an ARC Federation Fellow, a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the US National Academy of Science, and was the Bulletin Magazine's "scientist of the year" in 2004.

Millisecond Pulsar Hunting

Radio pulsars are the super-dense cores of once-massive stars, composed almost entirely of neutrons. Although their diameters are some 20km, they spin very rapidly. Whilst a normalÂ pulsarÂ rotates about once a second, theÂ millisecondÂ pulsars rotate at up to an amazing 700 times a second! These pulsars are the most difficult to find and require huge telescopes and supercomputers to be identified in the cosmic haystack. This talk will describe the history ofÂ millisecondÂ pulsarÂ hunting and some of its amazing trophies. Professor Matthew Bailes is the Director of the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing. His PhD was on the kinematics of radio pulsars and he has been part of manyÂ pulsarÂ surveys that have discovered 100s of pulsars including some exotic objects. He is currently working on a survey to make a 500,000 GB digital record of the radio sky with an international team using "the Dish". This presentation was part of our celebration of the International Year of Astronomy. It is part of the 2009 Public Lecture Series that focuses on current astronomical research featuring researchers from the Centre and our distinguished visitors.

The Astronomical Frontier: New Opportunities for Discovery at the W. M. Keck Observatory

The twin Keck 10-metre telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii have been the largest optical telescopes in the world for more than a decade. They have been at the forefront of astronomical discovery through their unrivaled observations of planets around other stars and galaxies seen billions of years back in time. In this talk, Dr Taft Armandroff, the Director of the Keck Observatory, will look to the future of these powerful telescopes, describing the exciting new discoveries they are poised to make in the next decade and beyond.
