SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT - OAT and DAUT SEMINAR - Wednesday, June 6th at 12:00 noon

[Gabriella Schiulaz]

I announce you this week's seminar:

*********************************************************** 
                     OATS-DAUT SEMINAR 
*********************************************************** 

Speaker: Kenji Bekki (University of New South Wales, Australia) 

Title: Globular cluster systems and galaxy formation 

Date: Wednesday, June 6th, 2007 
Time: 12:00 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni (via Bazzoni, 2)

*********************************************************** 
Abstract: 
We discuss the origin of physical properties of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in galaxies in terms of galaxy formation and evolution processes. Based on numerical simulations of dynamical evolution of GCSs in galaxies, we particularly discuss (1) the origin of radial density profiles of GCSs, (2) kinematics of GCSs in elliptical galaxies, (3) transformation from nucleated dwarf galaxies into GCs (e.g., omega Centauri), (4) the origin of GCSs in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and (5) formation of intragroup and intracluster GCs.
