Christopher Hales talk, the "Mouse Nebula"

"Cosmic Forensics: From Mouse Traps to Universal Magnetic Fields"The Mouse nebula is powered by an energetic neutron star that is speeding through interstellar space, creating a shock wave that is left behind in its wake. The system gets its name from its appearance in radio images that show a compact snout, a bulbous body, and a remarkably long, narrow tail that extends for about 55 light years.

Christopher Hales, winner of the 2008 BOK Prize and PhD student at both The University of Sydney and CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility, will talk about this amazing system. He will conclude with a brief discussion about his current research into the origin of magnetism in the Universe.
