Estimados Investigadores/Docentes/Alumnos

el dia jueves 8 de marzo a las 14:00 hs se llevara a cabo una conferencia 
en el Salon de Actos a cargo de la Prof. Sylvie Vauclair, del Institut de 
Recherche en Astronomie et Planétologie (IRAP), Observatoire 
Midi-Pyrenées, Toulouse Cedex, France. Quedan todos invitados.

Cordiales saludos,

Title:
"mic-mac" processes inside stars: atomic diffusion, accretion, 
thermohaline convection, links with asteroseismology?

Abstract:
During their evolution, stars are subject to several kinds of microscopic 
(atomic) and macroscopic transport phenomena which may strongly modify 
their internal structures and observable parameters.  These processes 
occur together and compete with each other. I will describe the present 
situation for this "mic-mac" coupling and will specially insist on atomic 
diffusion including radiative accelerations, on thermohaline convection 
and accretion.

About the speaker:
Sylvie D. Vauclair is an Astrophysicist at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees, 
Toulouse Cedex, France, Professor at the University Paul Sabatier of 
Toulouse and member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Her work 
focuses on the formation and evolution of chemical elements that make up 
matter in the Universe: Sun, stars and early universe. She has published 
one hundred scientific papers and books including "The Sounds of Stars" 
and "The Song of the Sun".
