[seminar] Astro Journal Club on November 30th

[Lana Ceraj]

Dear all,

this Wednesday Astro Jorunal Club starts at 3 p.m. (sharp) in the seminar room F-201 of the Physics Department.


Presenter: prof. Tijana Prodanović, University of Novi Sad, Serbia


Title: Cosmic-Ray Acceleration in Galactic Interactions and its Implications


Abstract:
It has been shown that galactic interaction and mergers can result in large-scale tidal shocks that propagate through interstellar gas. As a result, this can give rise to a new population of cosmic rays, additional to standard galactic cosmic rays present in star-forming galaxies. We investigate the impact of this tidal cosmic-ray population on the nucleosynthesis of lithium in interacting systems in the context of the cosmological lithium problem. Moreover we also demonstrate that the presence of these tidal shock-waves and may also have far reaching consequences on our understanding of galactic evolution and star formation history, by affecting the far-infrared radio correlation observed in star-forming galaxies.
