斯坦福KIPAC天体物理报告12月3日：NASA戈达德科学家Wadiasingh主讲中子星研究，SLAC举行、免费参加
斯坦福大学卡夫利粒子天体物理学与宇宙学研究所（KIPAC）的天体物理报告系列将于 12 月 3 日（周四）上午 11 时在加州圣马特奥县 Menlo Park 的 SLAC 国家加速器实验室举行，由美国宇航局（NASA）戈达德航天飞行中心、马里兰大学帕克分校科学家 Zorawar Wadiasingh 主讲，地点为 SLAC 的 Fred Kavli Building 三楼会议室，活动中午 12 时结束。
Wadiasingh 研究中子星、磁星等致密天体的高能物理。他参与的一项 NASA 研究用超级计算机完成上百次模拟，追踪两颗各有 1.4 倍太阳质量的中子星在并合前最后数毫秒内磁层的缠绕、断裂与重联，发现这类系统发出的光亮度不均、随两星磁场的相对取向显著变化，相关特征可能印刻在下一代设施有望探测到的引力波信号上。KIPAC 官网本场页面暂未公布报告的具体标题，确定后会在官网更新。
KIPAC 天体物理报告在学季内每周四上午 11 时举行，免费向公众开放，无需报名。费用：免费。详情见 kipac.stanford.edu。
Stanford KIPAC Astrophysics Colloquium Dec. 3: NASA Goddard Scientist Zorawar Wadiasingh at SLAC, Free
The Astrophysics Colloquium series of Stanford's Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) continues on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 11 a.m. at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California. Zorawar Wadiasingh of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, College Park, will speak in the third-floor conference room of SLAC's Fred Kavli Building; the talk ends at noon.
Wadiasingh studies the high-energy physics of neutron stars, magnetars and other compact objects. In a NASA study he co-authored, researchers ran more than 100 supercomputer simulations tracking how the magnetospheres of two neutron stars, each 1.4 solar masses, tangle, break and reconnect in the final milliseconds before merger. The light from such systems varies greatly in brightness and depends on the stars' relative magnetic orientations, and those signatures could be imprinted on gravitational-wave signals detectable by next-generation facilities. KIPAC has not yet posted the specific title of this talk; it will be updated on the institute's website.
The KIPAC Astrophysics Colloquium meets Thursdays at 11 a.m. during academic quarters and is free and open to the public, with no registration required. Details: kipac.stanford.edu.
