Stellar physics group, weekly meeting schedule

The stellar physics meeting takes place on Thursdays at 13h30 in room 3.010 (AIfA). If you'd like to volunteer (group members are expected to do so about twice a year, and other people are welcome to volunteer), please pick an empty slot and email me. If you would like to give a talk in the near future and there is no empty slot, there is a high probability that somebody will be willing to swap. Here is a link to the stellar physics group webpage.
