The Baltimore-Washington Starburst Series presents:
Next Event:
"Stellar Evolution Models for Population Synthesis"
Gerardo VАzquez (STScI)
I will review the latest progress on stellar populations models for massive stars. Then, a new perspective on this subject will be offered when we present the results by using the new release of Geneva tracks that include stellar rotation. The new tracks have been implemented in the current version of Starburst99. I will discuss the main results when we compare our models with observations of different integrated parameters from stellar populations with massive stars such as, e.g., star numbers ratios, bolometric luminosity, ionization energy.
Time: 15 June 2005, 12:00n (Wednesday)

LOGISTICS
GSFC: Due to security concerns, GSFC talks will no longer be held
on the
center. The talks will be in room 408 of the Aerospace building,
about 3/4 miles west of the GSFC main entrance at 10210 Greenbelt
Rd (193). To get there, go out of the GSFC main gate and turn left,
or continue past the main gate when coming from the BW Parkway.
The Aerospace building will be on your left, just after a Lutheran
church. There is a NASA Federal Credit Union sign on the front of
the building. The talk will be on the 4th floor in room 408. Since
it is off-site, badges will no longer be needed.
A free pizza lunch will be provided. In order to know approximate
numbers for the pizza, please let Jon
Gardner know 1 day in advance
that you are coming.
JHU: See STScI.
NRL: NRL is located in SW Washington. People coming from
Baltimore
should come down the BW parkway, past GSFC. The BW parkway feeds
into DC 295, which becomes I-295. At about milepost 2, there is an
exit for NRL and DC Village. Get off 295 at this exit (exit 1), and
continue on the access road (Overlook Ave) past Bolling Air Force
Base.
You will see the main gate of NRL on your right just before the 3rd
traffic
light. The visitor center is in the building just before (and outside)
the gate. Turn right into the parking lot for the visitor center from
Overlook
Avenue before turning right towards the main gate.
Non-US citizens: Requests for visitors who are not US citizens must
be made one week ahead of time. Non-US citizens should
RSVP to Jackie Fischer
with their name, nationality and institution one week
before the talk so she can handle the NRL paperwork.
On the day of the talk, all foreign visitors must stop at the visitors
center to get a visitor badge. Those from NATO countries who have their
passports or green cards with them may then enter unescorted. Other
foreign visitors will need to be escorted, so call Jackie (202-767-3058)
or the secretary (202-767-3842) from the gate before 11:45am.
US citizens: Visitors to NRL who are US citizens must stop at
the visitor center and get a visitor badge. Proof of identity
is required. Getting a badge can take
15 - 20 min if there is a line.
E-mail
ahead of time if you can.
STScI: No advance registration for visitor badges is required for
STScI. You will have to check in at the STScI reception and receive your
visitor badge. Parking passes will also be available from the
receptionist.
You should be prepared to use the JHU Visitor Lot, which is a
5 min walk from STScI. Please contact Claus Leitherer or go to the STScI
visitor information if you are uncertain about the location.
