Estimados Docentes/Investigadores/Alumnos:

Facultad se llevara a cabo la charla/seminario a cargo del Dr. Michael H. 
Montgomery del Department of Astronomy and McDonald Observatory, 
University of Texas at Austin, USA. Quedan todos invitados a asisitr.

Title: White Dwarf Stars as Fundamental Astrophysical Laboratories

Abstract: White dwarf stars are the endpoint of stellar evolution of over 
97% of all stars. Overall, their evolution is simpler than that of other 
stars, making them the ideal place to test various physical processes, 
such as neutrino emission, crystallization, phase separation, and 
convection. In addition, since their evolution is a cooling problem, their 
temperatures can be used to derive their ages, so they can be used to 
age-date different stellar populations. In this talk, I will highlight 
some of the work we and others have done and I will discuss directions for 
future work.

Cordiales saludos,
Alejandro.-
