Astronomy Department and NRAO Joint Colloquia are held in the auditorium of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory on Edgemont Road. Usually colloquia are held on Thursdays at 4:00 PM. Coffee and cookies are served 15-20 min before the talks. The schedules for the Tuesday UVa-NRAO Astronomy (TUNA) talks and the NRAO colloquia can be found on the NRAO web site. The Center for Chemistry of the Universe talk schedule is available at the CCU site. All three series of talks are also listed below (as soon as we can update the information), as this site is an attempt to list all of the local NRAO and UVa Astronomy talks. Occasional colloquia and seminars of interest to astronomers that are sponsored by other departments are also listed here, as are other astronomy-related events in the Charlottesville area. Other goings-on around the Astronomy Department can be found on the main page. If you know of any astronomy-related events in the area, please let us know so that we may add them to this list. Other CalendarsThe Observatory Public Night Schedule and the ASTR 121/124 Lab Sign-Up System are maintained separately. For a listing of events elsewhere at the University, visit the UVa Events Calendar. The University Holiday Schedule is maintained by Human Resources. Academic Calendars are maintained by the College of Arts & Sciences and the University Registrar. |
