  2. ARI Seminar: Nikhil Sarin (Stockholm University)

    A neutron star binary merges somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 1000 seconds, creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the electromagnetic spectrum. The transformative coincident gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 gave invaluable insights into these cataclysmic collisions and fundamental astrophysics. However, despite our high expectations, we have failed to see any other event like it. In this talk, I will highlight what we can learn from other observations of mergers seen directly in gravitational waves or indirectly as a gamma-ray burst and/or kilonova. I will also discuss the diversity in electromagnetic and gravitational-wave emission we can expect for future mergers and showcase tools to help maximally extract physics from existing and future observations.

  4. Let's Make! Upcycled Christmas Jumpers

    To help you get into the festive spirit, the Environmental Sustainability and Energy team and Staff Wellbeing Team at LJMU are holding an upcycling workshop where you can transform an old garment into a Christmas jumper or t-shirt!

  7. Recycle Week: Waste Seminar

    Recycle Week is an annual campaign by Recycle Now to encourage better recycling in the UK. The Environmental Sustainability and Energy Team are holding a number of events to educate and encourage positive behaviours around waste throughout the week.
