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: The Dynamics of Exoplanets Systems
Stellar birth environments are dangerous environments for planetary systems.
I will describe how planetary systems are vulnerable to perturbations
from passing stars and stellar companions within stellar clusters. These
perturbations may lead to a chain of events that result in the ejection of some planets,
leaving those remaining on tighter, and eccentric, orbits. Planetary
systems may exchange into binary systems and then the stellar companion
may perturb planetary orbits via the Kozai mechanism. I will show how
this can lead to strong dynamical interactions between planets in a planetary
system, with some planets being ejected. In some cases, planets
placed on extremely eccentric orbits may form hot jupiters via tidal interactions.
By using full N-body calculations of young stellar clusters, I quantify the
frequency of both fly-by encounters and binary-exchange encounters,
and also the frequency of close encounters involving protoplanetary discs.
I compute the fraction of planetary systems likely to emerge unscathed
from a stellar cluster.
