Galaxy Group.
Meeting time: 12:30pm on Tuesdays
This group encompasses both galactic and extragalactic research groups at NMSU. We cover topics from observations of stars in the local Solar neighborhood to simulations of large scale structure. Please join us as we discuss current literature each week in the conference room.
Below is the schedule for future galaxy group meetings as well as links to past discussions.
