How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Title: 3D model atmospheres of white dwarfs

Abstract:
White dwarfs with hydrogen-rich atmospheres are the most abundant of all degenerate objects. Their atmospheres are thought to be relatively simple, with a pure composition due to the gravitational settling, and we rely on them as spectroscopic standards. Nevertheless, a great deal of work has been done in recent years to increase the accuracy of their model spectra. Most notably, we improved the macrophysics aspect of the models by using for the first time 3D radiation-hydrodynamics instead of the standard 1D models for the treatment of convective motions. It will be shown that these 3D simulations now reach the level of accuracy to be the main
theoretical tool in spectroscopic analyzes of cool white dwarfs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our improved model spectra provide a much better characterization of the mass distribution of white dwarfs.
