Conférences
La Société Royale des Sciences de Liège subsidie, en tout ou en partie, l'invitation occasionnelle d'orateurs dans le cadre de ses conférences s'adressant à un public constitué de spécialistes et/ou d'une plus large audience.
- Jeudi 4 novembre 2021 : Extreme astrophysics, Professeur Roger Blandford (KIPAC, Standford University et titulaire de la chaire Jacques Solvay de Physique 2020 des Instituts Solvay)
The electromagnetic spectrum has been opened up from meter radio waves to ~ PeV photons and augmented with 10 - 300 Hz gravitational wave, MeV - PeV neutrinos and MeV - ZeV (160 J) cosmic ray messages. Consequently, there is a high rate of discovery and understanding of phenomena whose explanation invokes accepted physics - classical (including general relativity), atomic, nuclear and particle (including QED) processes - in extreme environments. The richness of the discovery space can be epitomized by describing some new observations and ideas pertaining to relativistic outflows formed by spinning black holes and neutron stars, Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays accelerated by strong shock waves surrounding rich clusters of galaxies and Fast Radio Bursts, generated by neutron stars with 100 GT magnetic fields.
