The formation of galaxies; now a mystery

Duncan Forbes

There was an accepted view as to how galaxies formed. But not anymore. Galaxies are made up of stars bound together. But so too are star clusters. So what's the difference? Now there are ambiguities. It isn't always easy to tell the difference. Duncan Forbes has used crowd sourcing to seek ideas as to how star clusters and galaxies might be defined and classified.

The Extreme Side of Pulsars

Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Lina Levin

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

Karl Glazebrook

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.

The Life History of the Universe

Brian Schmidt

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, co-winner of 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics, 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

Prof. Matthew Bailes

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 normal pulsar rotates about once a second, the millisecond 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 of millisecond pulsar 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 many pulsar 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.

Micro-manufacturing and working at the molecular level

Robin Taylor, Billy Todd, Ming Liu, Richard Sadus

In a world where everything from mobile phones to computers, portable music players and all manner of instruments is getting smaller, engineers need to new tools to predict how materials will behave when they are being processed or shaped at scales as subtle as their molecular make-up.

Swinburne University of Technology researchers are using supercomputers to develop predictive tools that give nanoengineers and manufacturers a reliable guide on how materials and fluids will behave when worked as molecules.
