Special lecture "Watching the Winds Blowing Across the Galaxy" & Professor Lecture Introduction Event for October (July 28, 2024)
Updated: July 30, 2024
Part 1 Special Lecture: "Watching the Winds Blowing Through the Galaxy - The World Seen by the X-ray Astronomy Satellite XRISM"
We will be welcoming Professor Makoto Tashiro of Saitama University, who is the head of XRISM research, to give a lecture.
XRISM is Japan's seventh X-ray astronomy satellite, developed by JAXA in collaboration with NASA and ESA and to be launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in September 2023. It has been developed since 2018 in response to global expectations as an orbital observatory to succeed the short-lived ASTRO-H (Hitomi). What new world of X-ray astronomy will XRISM show us through ultra-high resolution spectroscopy?
In addition to reporting on the current status of observations, we will also introduce the difficulties that led to the launch, including international joint development during the pandemic.
Part 2: October Professor Lecture Introduction Event
The 35th "Professor Course" will begin in October, where anyone can practice "learning is fun" in their local community. At this event, the lecturers who will be appearing will come and promote the course face-to-face. (For lecturers who are absent, a pre-recorded video will be shown.) This will also be an opportunity to take courses in new fields, so please come to the venue.
