\n<\/strong>Title: Jets from Compact Binary Mergers: Electromagnetic Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Sources
\nSpeaker: Gavin Lamb (Liverpool John Moores University)
\nTime: 3pm on 24th January 2016
\nVenue: Physics C36<\/p>\n
\nShort gamma-ray bursts are believed to be produced by ultra-relativistic jets launched from the merger of neutron stars (NSNS) or a black-hole and a neutron star (BHNS). A short (<2s) flash of gamma-rays, from internal shocks, is followed by a multi-band afterglow from external shocks as the jet decelerates in the ambient medium. Observations of the afterglow are currently triggered by the prompt gamma-rays. For jets with a bulk Lorentz factor<\/p>\nVC Visit<\/h2>\n
\nHead of department and their leadership\/management team<\/strong>
\nThe two questions Mark wants to discuss are:
\n1. Their reflections on the NSS 2016 outcomes, the strengths and weaknesses and work they have done ready for NSS 2017.
\n2. In the strategy refresh what they as department they would like to see added\/updated.<\/p>\n
\nWhole department <\/strong>
\nMark will talk for approximately 25 minutes followed by general questions from the department.<\/p>\nBooking Meeting Rooms In Physics<\/strong><\/h2>\n
