Colloquia and Talks
Astrolunch: Every Tuesday at Noon the Department of Astrophysics meets in the Physics common room to discuss their current research results - everyone is welcome!
AstroCoffee: Every Thursday at 10:30 am in the Astro lounge area. We meet informally and discuss general astronomy issues - a recent paper that someone thought was cool; astro politics; upcoming funding opportunities... almost anything that doesn't get too bogged down in the details of current research groups at UNSW.
ATNF Colloquia: Wednesdays at 3:30pm and Fridays at 11:00am. ATNF Lecture Theatre, Epping.
AAO Colloquia: Thursdays at 3:30pm. AAO Conference Room, Epping.
