Ritter Astrophysical Research Center
Astrophysics Bag Lunch Seminar

On every Tuesday, the Astronomy & Astrophysics faculty, postdocs, and students meet in Room 4009 of McMaster Hall (MH 4009). From 12:30-1:30 pm, the scheduled speaker gives a one hour talk about a paper or two on a topic chosen at the beginning of the term. Talks during the same term are chosen to share a common theme.

Reminder to scheduled speakers:  Please send a reminder announcement, including a list of your principal references, to the astronomy bag lunch mailing list no later than the Monday before your talk.  The e-mail address to use is PROARSPhysicssyabl_at_UToledo.Edu (replace "_at_" with "@" before sending).
