August Society Meetings
Wellington Society Meeting at Carter Observatory, Wellington -
Thursday August 26th 7:30pm
Wairarapa Society Meeting at the Phoenix Clubrooms, Ahiaruhi,
Wairarapa - Friday August 27th at 7:30pm
Gravitational Microlensing Modelling at VUW
Dr Pauline Harris
School of Chemical and Physical Sciences,
Victoria University of Wellington.
To date over 400 extrasolar planets have been discovered. Of these
around 9 have been discovered using gravitational microlensing. At
Victoria University, modelling of microlensing events is in current
development. I present here some of the progress being made in the
most recent upgraded modelling code and its implementation on the
large scale computer grids at Victoria.
Documentary
Journey to the Edge of the Universe (National Geographic)
In one single, epic camera move we journey from Earths surface to the
outermost reaches of the universe on a grand tour of the cosmos, to
explore newborn stars, distant planets, black holes and beyond.
