Fall 2009 Galaxy Lunch Series
Fridays 12:15 p.m. in 622 Space Sciences"Tracing Star Formation across Cosmic Time:
Does Dust Matter?"
During the semester, we will review how different indicators across the electromagnetic spectrum are used to trace the star formation history of the universe and discuss the impact of dust extinction on their interpretation.
Organizers: Martha Haynes, Betsey Adams & Drew Brisbin
