What is ISIS - Radio Astronomy? The Institute for Space Imaging Science (ISIS) Radio Astronomy division builds on the scientific and technical strengths in the Faculty of Science and in the Schulich School of Engineering, and on our relationship with the National Research Council, to create at the University of Calgary and University of Lethrbidge a unique national institute that will advance the national agenda for radio astronomy. The Radio Astronomy Division of ISIS promotes and helps facilitate Canadian participation in the next-generation international radio astronomy facilities prioritized in the Canadian Long Range Plan for Astronomy. It leverages University of Calgary and Alberta researchers leadership in the scientific pathway to these facilities, and build capacity to subsequently exploit them to make key discoveries into the origin and evolution of structure in the Universe. The Radio Astronomy division of ISIS also provides a rich training environment that is unique in Canada, for University of Calgary and University of Lethbridge students and young researchers to work at the interface of science and technology in radio astronomy. |
Upcoming Seminars Dr. Marita Krause from the Max Planck Institut fuer Radioastronomie (Bonn, Germany) will be giving a talk on:"Magnetic Fields in Spiral Galaxies" Abstract: After a short introduction about the observations of magnetic fields by radio observations, I will present the observational results for the magnetic field strength and structure in spiral galaxies seen face-on. The influenceof star formation on the magnetic field strength will be discussed. Then I will concentrate on radio observations of spiral galaxies seen edge-on and focus on the interplay of galactic wind, magnetic field and dynamo action.
