Ad: "Black Holes in the Universe"
The next seminar of the Balseiro Institute in Bariloche Atomic Centre will be delivered by Dr. Felix Mirabel.
Saturday, October 31, 2009
Dr. Mirabel is senior researcher at CONICET, having received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of La Plata, and one in philosophy from the University of Buenos Aires. For his discoveries and research in the area of \u200b\u200bblack holes has received several distinctions, including Doctorate Honoris Causa from the University of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Bruno Rossi Prize for High Energy Astrophysics of the Astronomical Association of North America, and the Scientific Award of the Atomic Energy Commission of France. He has authored nearly 500 publications and has participated in the discovery of numerous novel astronomical phenomena, such as microcuásars, superluminal motion in the Galaxy, ultraluminous infrared galaxies and tidal dwarf galaxies. Service is a member of Astrophysics Atomic Energy Commission of France, and the prestigious European Observatory of the Southern Hemisphere and has been the leading representative in Chile for several years.

Summary: Black holes are the most enigmatic objects in astrophysics. Its gravitational pull is so intense that no light leak, staying dark. For more than two centuries its existence was cause of mere speculation, but for two decades convincing evidence has accumulated on the existence of two types of black holes in the universe: 1) as corpses of massive stars that cosmic dance devour stars produce light, and 2) as objects more individual mass of the universe, with masses equivalent to millions of stars, concentrated in regions as small as the solar system. We will review the properties of cosmic objects and their role in the evolution of the universe, according to recent research in the world's most advanced observatories. Demonstrate its effects with images and animations, reaching key conclusions about our knowledge of the cosmos.
