The Evolution of Volatile Carbon During Planet Formation Abstract: Planets are formed in protoplanetary disks of gas and dust around young stars. Where and when a planet forms determines its ultimate composition. However, our ability to determine exoplanet compositions… Read More

Space Weather Forecasting: Sudden Commencements and Machine Learning Abstract: Rapid changes in the surface geomagnetic field can induce potentially damaging currents in artificial conductors on the ground.  There are a large range of magnetospheric phenomena that can cause such… Read More

Using Multi-Spacecraft Measurements to Shed Light on Jupiter’s Auroral and Disk X-ray Emissions Abstract: The shimmering, dancing curtains of light from our planet’s aurorae have mesmerised people for generations. However, it wasn’t until 1979 that the first extra-terrestrial aurora… Read More

Non-thermal emission from supernova remnants in circumstellar media Abstract: Most supernova remnants are core-collapse explosions of massive stars at the end of their evolution. Throughout its life such a star drives stellar winds that shape a circumstellar bubble which… Read More

Auroral Kilometric Radiation as a Self-Organized Criticality System Abstract: At the seminar I will present the results and conclusions concerning Auroral KilometricRadiation of the Earth as a Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) system. Analyzed data comes fromPolish experiment POLRAD and French… Read More

Time Series Analysis Applied to Geomagnetic Indices Abstract: Geomagnetic indices, based on magnetic field observations at the Earth’s surface, provide almost continuous monitoring of Earth’s magnetospheric and ionospheric activity. AE and DST are two such indices designed to measure… Read More

Invisible Monsters and Spider Webs: Compact objects in the era of wide field optical surveys Abstract: Where are the missing Galactic population of black holes? How do we obtain precise and accurate masses for black holes and neutron stars… Read More
