= Rationale =
Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a discussion. The presentation could be a proper short focused talk or just a few slides with mainly figures, or just at the white-board with a pen. The content could be some new results/ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in extragalactic astrophysics. If you have visitors, please ask them to participate and give a presentation - they should have priority over presentation by 'local' people! Local PhD Student/Post-Doc are encouraged to present something at least once a year.

The TeaTimeChat is another more informal format of talks.

Also, we have the formal LAM seminars, with the schedule [http://www.lam.fr/the-laboratory/talks-and-conferences here]

= When =
Every Tuesday at 1:30 pm in room Mistral (second floor) at LAM (coffee @ 1:15 pm).

 * 16th February - Merce Romero-Gomez (Universitat de Barcelona): Getting ready for the scientific exploitation of Gaia data on the structure of our Galaxy.

== Rationale ==
Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a 5-10 min discussion. The presentation could be a proper short focused talk or just a few slides with mainly figures, or just some simulating sketch at the white-board. The content could be some new results or ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology. Visitors are kindly invited to participate and give a presentation. Last-year PhD Student and Post-Docs are encouraged to participate and contribute talks.

For seminars by GSP and GRD groups and general LAM seminars, see [[http://www.lam.fr/the-laboratory/talks-and-conferences|here]].

== When ==

Every '''Wednesday at 11:00 am''' on zoom or in hybrid mode (in person and on zoom). If on zoom only, the seminar is broadcast in the Library at LAM.

Based on the specific temporal and spatial characteristics of each component we have been able to disentangle on this 3D set of data, the K-corona (due to coronal electrons by Thompson effect ), the F-corona (due to interplanetary dust by Mie scattering) and the stray light (due to the instrument itself). Some astrophysical consequences of results must be briefly discussed.

 * 4 May 2010 - Ron Buta (Alabama): "Galaxy Morphology and Classification in the Mid-Infrared from S4G" The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G, Sheth et al. 2010) is a comprehensive survey of 2,331 galaxies in the 3.6 and 4.5 micron IRAC bands of the Spitzer Space Telescope. One of the goals of the project is the derivation of RC3-like parameters of galaxies in the mid-IR, including galaxy morphology as interpreted in the framework of the de Vaucouleurs revised Hubble-Sandage classification system. The IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands are sensitive mainly to the older stellar component, and provide the most dust-penetrated views of all types of galaxies. This penetration of dust can cause drastic changes in appearance between blue and mid-IR images. Nevertheless, these are the exception. The subtleties of blue light galaxy morphology carry well enough into the mid-IR 3.6 micron band that for many galaxies, the blue and 3.6 micron morphologies are similar. I will describe a detailed morphological study of a subset of 200 galaxies based on archival 3.6 micron Spitzer images that have been processed through the S4G pipeline.
 * 18 May 2010 - Benjamin Gardes (LAM): "Photometric calibration of the LASCO-C2 coronograph for solar sytem objects" In this demostration I will introduce you the method to determine the photometric calibration of the LASCO-C2 coronograph images for solar system objects based on the extensive analysis of all stars down to the magnitude V = 8 that have transited in its field-of-view since the past 14 years (1996-2009). An automatic procedure has been developed to detect those stars and to measure their magnitudes providing statistics for more than 250 000 images. Using 4 different aperture windows I have first estimated the Zero Points of the photometric transformation between LASCO-C2 magnitudes for the Orange filter and standard V magnitudes and then derived the calibration factor for the surface photometry of extended sources. Finally, we will see how the sensitivity of the instrument behaves along the mission.

We will finally present the RAPID project and the concept of photon counting avalanche photodiode CMOS device (in collaboration with CEA-LETI) which is foreseen to be the ultimate detector for the visible-IR range providing no readout noise, high QE and extremely fast readout.

Café Club

Rationale

Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a 5-10 min discussion. The presentation could be a proper short focused talk or just a few slides with mainly figures, or just some simulating sketch at the white-board. The content could be some new results or ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology. Visitors are kindly invited to participate and give a presentation. Last-year PhD Student and Post-Docs are encouraged to participate and contribute talks.

For seminars by GSP and GRD groups and general LAM seminars, see here.

When

Every Wednesday at 11:00 am on zoom or in hybrid mode (in person and on zoom). If on zoom only, the seminar is broadcast in the Library at LAM.
