A method for predicting chaot ic behavior used in galactic dynamics and celestial mechanics has a quantu m equivalent. A sensitive classical chaotic perturbed system inspires a q uantum sampler. Quantum systems with divided phase space are described w ith a classical adiabatic limit and resonant capture probability but are a lways susceptible to transitions into superposition states.\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Giuseppe Lodato DTSTART:20260416T123000Z DTEND:20260416T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2349 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Giuseppe Lodato (Università degli Studi di Milano St atale | Milan\, Italy)\nTitle: Ten years of protostellar discs with ALMA\n Abstract: The advent of ALMA has deeply transformed our view of planet for ming discs in several respects. The first\, spectacular images of the ther mal dust continuum emission has revealed that such discs host a plethora o f substructures\, most notably in the form of gaps and rings\, and sometim es spirals\, usually interpreted as the signposts of forming planets. Seco ndly\, the high ALMA sensitivity has allowed to obtain complete samples of continuum (and line) detected discs at low resolution\, allowing to perfo rm population studies of discs. Finally\, in the latest few years a whole new window has been opened thought high angular and spectral resolution ob servation of line emission from several chemical species\, allowing to exp lore the disc kinematics with unprecedented details. In this talk\, I will show how the combined use of the three advances above has allowed a deepe r understanding of the structure and most importantly of the evolutionary processes that take place into the disc.\nNote: Host: Steven Rendón Restr epo\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Heather Cegla (University of Warwick | Coventry\, UK) DTSTART:20260423T123000Z DTEND:20260423T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2350 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Heather Cegla (University of Warwick | Coventry\, UK) \nTitle: Exploring the impact of stellar variability in high resolution sp ectroscopy through observations and simulations\nAbstract: High-precision\ , high-resolution spectroscopy is a powerful tool for confirming and chara cterising exoplanets\, but variability on stellar surfaces can contaminate these measurements. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the wor k my group is performing in this area. I will show our most recent efforts studying granulation on Sun-like stars using 3D stellar atmosphere simula tions across a range of stellar lines in the optical. We also use spectros copic observations of transiting planets to spatially resolve stellar surf aces. I will share our analysis of the WASP-85 A system\, where we use the transiting planet to spatially resolve the surface and isolate the proper ties of an occulted starspot. Finally\, I will discuss our use of high-res olution cross-correlation spectroscopy to characterise exoplanet atmospher es and examine how stellar surface variability can bias these measurements through forward modelling.\nNote: Host: Katja Poppenhäger\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Alessandro Morbidelli DTSTART:20260521T123000Z DTEND:20260521T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2351 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alessandro Morbidelli (Observatoire de la Cote d' \;Azur | Nice\, France)\nTitle: Formation and evolution of a protoplanetar y disk: combining observations\, simulations and cosmochemical constraints \nAbstract: Observations of protoplanetary disks with ALMA have revealed a large diversity of properties\, but also some common tendencies in terms of dust/gas density and radial extension ratios\, as well as the appearanc e of features like rings and gaps or cavities. It is too late to observe t he proto-solar disk\, but many of its properties can be inferred from the current distribution of planetesimals and using cosmochemical constraints on the chronology of planetesimal accretion and the isotopic heterogeneity of the disk. I will review the available data which can be used to recons truct the proto-solar disk. The view that emerges is that of a quite stand ard disk of about 90 au in gas radius and 45 au in dust radius\, forming p lanetesimals at two distinct epochs (one of which very early\, while the d isk was presumably still in Class-0 or Class-1 stage) and evolving towards a transition disk at the appearance of Jupiter and Saturn. Similarities a nd differences with the PDS70 disk will be discussed.\nNote: Host: Oliver Gressel\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Serena Criscuoli DTSTART:20260618T123000Z DTEND:20260618T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2352 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Serena Criscuoli (National Solar Observatory | Boulde r\, CO\, USA)\nTitle: TBD\nAbstract: TBD\nNote: Host: Meetu Verma\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Antoine Strugarek (CEA Saclay | Paris\, France) DTSTART:20261015T123000Z DTEND:20261015T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2353 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Antoine Strugarek (CEA Saclay | Paris\, France)\nTitl e: TBD\nAbstract: TBD\nNote: Hosts: Ilaria Civale and Katja Poppenhäger\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Andrew Pontzen (Durham University) DTSTART:20261112T133000Z DTEND:20261112T143000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2359 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Ewald Puchwein DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Pontzen (Durham University)\nTitle: TBD\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Boris Gaensicke (University of Warwick | Coventry\, U K) DTSTART:20260924T123000Z DTEND:20260924T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2361 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Boris Gaensicke (University of Warwick | Coventry\, U K)\nTitle: TBD\nAbstract: TBD\nNote: Host: Axel Schwope\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Tobias Buck (Heidelberg) DTSTART:20261119T133000Z DTEND:20261119T143000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2365 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Ewald Puchwein DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tobias Buck (Heidelberg)\nTitle: TBD\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Dominika Wylezalek (University of Heidelberg | German y) DTSTART:20261203T133000Z DTEND:20261203T143000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2366 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Julián Alvarado-Gómez DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dominika Wylezalek (University of Heidelberg | German y)\nTitle: TBD\nAbstract: TBD\nNote: Hosts: Tanya Urrutia and Guilherme Co uto\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Paul Groot (UCT/SAAO and Radboud University) DTSTART:20260625T123000Z DTEND:20260625T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2369 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Colloquium CONTACT:Ivan Minchev DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paul Groot (UCT/SAAO and Radboud University)\nTitle: Ultra-compact binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors\nAbstract: TBD\n Note: Host: Alex Schwope\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colloquium | Eric F.

In this talk\, I explore the consequences of this evolution\ , from gradual processes such as mass segregation and cluster evaporation to dramatic events including core collapse and the possible formation of i ntermediate-mass black holes. I will outline the dynamical models used to describe these systems and show how they incorporate cluster evolution whe n searching for evidence of these elusive black holes. Finally\, I will su rvey the rich population of stellar exotica produced by repeated encounter s\, including blue stragglers\, millisecond pulsars\, and binaries compose d of stellar remnants and luminous companions. In this context\, one cruci al question is whether dense star clusters the primary factories of the bi nary black holes whose mergers we now observe through gravitational waves. \n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Special Seminar | Dr. Sebastian Kamann (Liverpool John Moores Univ ersity) DTSTART:20260512T123000Z DTEND:20260512T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2446 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:Special Seminar CATEGORIES:Galaxies\, Cosmology CONTACT:Peter Weilbacher DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Sebastian Kamann (Liverpool John Moores Universit y)\nTitle: Wempe lecture 3 “Young massive star clusters: Treasure chests of stellar evolution”\nAbstract: The colour–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of star clusters underpin stellar astrophysics. They calibrate stellar ev olution models\, enable age-dating of stellar populations\, and provide te mplates for interpreting unresolved galaxies. Yet the CMDs of young massiv e clusters show surprising features\, such as split main sequences and ext ended turn-offs. This raises the question of whether we truly understand t he mechanisms governing stellar distributions across the CMD.\nIn this tal k\, I will show how binary interactions and stellar rotation reshape CMD m orphologies. Using observations of young massive clusters in the Magellani c Clouds obtained with HST and MUSE\, we measure the spin velocities of la rge stellar samples and characterise the clusters’ binary populations. O ur results reveal distinct populations of slow and fast rotators occupying different loci in the CMD. The detection of post-interaction binaries\, s uch as blue stragglers and stripped stars\, further enables us to constrai n population synthesis models and to assess the contribution of massive st ar clusters to the cosmic rate of compact binary mergers observed via grav itational waves.\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:AIP Seminar | Junais (AIP) DTSTART:20260609T123000Z DTEND:20260609T133000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2467 CATEGORIES:Scientific CATEGORIES:Scientific Talk CATEGORIES:Public CATEGORIES:AIP Seminar CONTACT:Marcel Pawlowski DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Junais (AIP)\nTitle: Identification and characterisat ion of dwarf galaxies from Euclid observations using foundation models\nAb stract: tbd\n LOCATION:AIP\; Kirch building\, Conference room\nZoom link: https://eu02we b.zoom-x.de/j/3620884100 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:AIP Summer Party (internal) DTSTART:20260701T130000Z DTEND:20260701T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2468 CATEGORIES:Internal Event CATEGORIES:Institute Event CATEGORIES:Public DESCRIPTION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Songs under the Starry Sky DTSTART:20260605T173000Z DTEND:20260605T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260510T040129Z UID:www.aip.de-2472 CATEGORIES:Public Event CATEGORIES:Outreach Event CATEGORIES:Public CONTACT:Axel Schwope DESCRIPTION:Beneficial concert in the Great Refractor on Telegrafenberg wi th Axel Schwope as solist.

The Array hosts a number of new or upgraded\, s ix-telescope beam combiners that span the spectrum from the visible R-band to the near-infrared K-band with a range in available spectral resolution . The most recent are the Silmaril beam combiner that is a three-telescope instrument for H- and K-bands that is designed for very high sensitivity on fainter targets and the CHARA Array Integrated Optics Testbed (CHARIOT) that is a platform for characterizing integrated optic combiners. A seven th\, mobile telescope is now on-site for use with fiber optics for H-band beam transport. The mobile telescope will extend the baseline range from 2 0 m to 579 m\, creating new opportunities for measurements of stars with l arge and small angular diameters. Observing time is available to the commu nity through a program funded by NSF. The observing programs are solicited and peer-reviewed by NSF's NOIRLab.\nAbout Dr. Scott:\nNic Scott is the T elescope Systems Scientist at the Georgia State University Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array. Nic directs all aspects of co ntrol and development of the telescopes\, enclosures\, and relay optics of the seven CHARA Array telescopes. Nic received dual PhD degrees from Geor gia State University and the Observatoire de Paris for his work on a novel fiber optics beam combiner at the Array. Prior to his current appointment at CHARA\, Nic was a Lead Research Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Ce nter where he developed speckle interferometry cameras for the WIYN\, Gemi ni-North\, and Gemini-South telescopes. Nic is currently leading the integ ration of the CHARA Array Integrated Optics Testbed (CHARIOT) experiment t o provide a flexible station in the beam combining laboratory to character ize novel integrated optics combiners.\nNote: Let me know if you want to m eet Nic.
