Hi,
I am one of the organizers of the Tufts-CfA-MIT Cosmology
Seminar series. There is an error in the announcement of
next week's talk in the Boston Area Physics Calender. Since
you have an on-line version of the Calender, we were hoping that
you could make the correction in that copy.
The seminar is Tuesday at 2:30 and is being held at the CfA.
Yet the top line of the announcement says MIT rather than Harvard.
Since the seminar rotates between the three schools, we don't
want there to be any confusion as to where it is this week.
Thanks,
Daniel Eisenstein

Enclosed in the BAPC calendar for September 24-30. The next calendar will be
on October 1-7. Please note the deadline for seminar notices is Monday, October
2.
Thanks Jessica

Tea will be served at 3:30 p.m
Abstract:
Sunspots were the first observed marks of a break in the symmetry that
gravity imposes on stellar structure. Hale's discovery of magnetic
fields in sunspots hinted at the importance of electromagnetic forces.
By means of elementary magnetohydrodynamics, the observed magnetic
structure and dynamics in the solar atmosphere are interpreted in terms
of models in the convective envelope. From large-scale patterns in solar
magnetic activity and from global properties of stars, some features of
magnetic dynamos operating in convection zones are deduced. Finally
effects of magnetic activity on the evolution of stars and close binary
systems are considered.
