The Pint of Science Festival is an international event that invites the scientific community to share their knowledge in a relaxed atmosphere. DIPC sponsors and participates in this initiative to bring science closer to the public.
On Wednesday, DIPC researchers will take center stage with a talk:
- "De los neutrinos a las estrellas" with Elena Ramos Cascón (in Spanish). Some stars end their lives in a massive explosion known as a supernova. These events are among the most violent in the Universe, yet we still know very little about them. Meanwhile, neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the Universe. By detecting the neutrinos produced in supernovae, we could gain a much better understanding of them, but this is by no means an easy task.
- "Grandes, brillantes y autodestructivas" with Irene Valderrama Flores (in Spanish). The first stars were enormous, had short lifespans and were highly self-destructive. They bore no resemblance whatsoever to the stars we see in the sky today. Being so massive, many ended up forming giant black holes, which may have been the seeds of the supermassive black holes we find today at the centre of almost every galaxy. In this talk, my aim is to help us learn a little more about those first stars and black holes that were the precursors of the universe as we know it today.
