Star and Planet Formation Journal Club
The Star and Planet Formation Journal Club is a forum in which we discuss recent
articles of interest in the literature. Our principal focus is on star
and planet formation, although we also regularly discuss articles on
the interstellar medium. The format is informal, and we welcome talks from
visitors to the CfA. We meet every Wednesday
during the school year, at 11:00 in Phillips
Auditorium. Coffee, tea and cookies will be provided.
