Astrophysical Magnetic Field and Turbulence Colloquium 2022

Weekly zoom talks on Tuesdays

10 a.m. CST | 5 p.m. CET | 12 a.m. China standard time

Overview:

The Astrophysical Magnetic Field and Turbulence Colloquium (AMT) is a weekly zoom event that brings together magnetic field and turbulence experts from the US, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. It provides a forum for the talks and related discussions. We are looking forward to seeing you every Tuesday.

Topics:

Magnetic field measurements | MHD turbulence and star formation | Cosmic ray transport and acceleration| Turbulent dynamo | Magnetic reconnection | Fast radio burst
