Watson Research Center Pizza and soda served Students are encouraged to attend 1:00 pm Friday, February 11, 2011 ASTRO-COFFEE DISCUSSION Professor Anna Sajia I'll talk about the infrared SEDs of galaxies and in particular the various techniques we use to distinguish the contribution of AGN and star-formation to a galaxy's infrared power output. Specifically, I'll use a paper from today's astro-ph to discuss these issues. The paper is: arXiv:1102.1425 Defining the intrinsic AGN infrared spectral energy distribution and measuring its contribution to the infrared output of composite galaxies Coffee will be served 3:00 pm Friday, February 11, 2011 Tufts University Special Physics and Astronomy Colloquium Robinson Hall, Room 253 “Base-By-Base Ratcheting of Single-Stranded DNA through a Solid-State Nanopore: Toward Low-cost and High-throughput Sequencing of the Human Genome” Binquan Luan IBM, Thomas J.
