Astrophysics seminar

Monday 25 August 2025 at 14:15 Room D114, (Please note the unusual time and location)

Shihong Liao (Beijing National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

“Initializing a uniform and isotropic universe”

Abstract: Generating a uniform and isotropic particle distribution (i.e., particle load or pre-initial condition) is the very first step for a cosmological simulation, and critically influences the simulated structures. In this talk, I will introduce and discuss our recent methods in setting up uniform and isotropic particle distributions, especially for simulations including both dark matter and baryons.

 

Astrophysics seminar

Haonan Zheng (Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University)

“The population and diversity of HI-rich “dark” galaxies in simulations”

Abstract: In this talk, I plan to present our preliminary results on HI-rich, (almost) dark galaxies in the Hestia and Auriga simulations. Taking advantage of Hestia’s large, constrained simulation volume, we predict their number density out to 3.7 Mpc, and provide their population’s range in halo, gas, and HI properties. We find diversity in gas and HI mass beyond the dependence  on halo mass, and further investigate its origin with the Auriga simulations. Case studies indicate that their environment, merger histories, and equilibrium states might be the contributing factors.

Climate science and the energy transformation: challenges and opportunities (Professor David Brayshaw, University of Reading)

Tuesday 24 June 2025 at15:00-16:00, DYNAMICUM Aqua 1A13c

Energy systems around the world are undergoing rapid and far-reaching change. From the electrification of transport and heating, through to the growing dependence on renewables and increasing weather-exposure of infrastructure, there is an urgent need for high-quality weather and climate information across all time scales to support the energy transition. While much progress has been made over the last 10-15 years, there remain many areas of “disconnect” between energy- and climate- science that need to be addressed to enable deeper exchanges of ideas, data and know-how. This presentation will outline some of the questions, challenges and opportunities involved.

 

 

Asteroid Day: Asteroids – A source of gold or the end of the world?

The International Asteroid Day will be celebrated at the Observatory of Helsinki University Museum Flame (Kopernikuksentie 1) on Monday, 30 June 2025 from 16:00 to 19:00. Meet asteroid researchers and hear about asteroid impact hazards and asteroid mining, and immerse yourself in the fascinating past of the Observatory in its exhibitions, and astronomical phenomena from our own solar system to distant galaxies. Although the event is targeted primarily for adults, it also offers experiences for the youngest in the family.

The Post Doc Pool’s Autumn application round will be open from 15th August until 15th September, 2025. Some 1.6 million euro will be awarded in grants.

https://postdocpooli.fi/en/

 

Alfred Kordelin Foundation

The purpose of the grants is to support newly graduated doctors on their career paths and enable them to advance in their careers. The grant enables them to work after completion of their doctoral degree to deepen and develop the results of their doctoral work further.

Application period: 15.–31. August 2025. The application period ends on 31 August 2025 at 4 pm Finnish time.

Decision: November 2025

Special summer Materials/Bio Physics seminar

Monday 23 June at 14.15, Physicum (D112)

Prof. Chris Greening (Monash University)

“Microbial oxidation of atmospheric trace gases: from enzymes to ecosystems”

Professor Chris Greening hosts a diverse team seeking to understand the interactions between microbes and climate change. A graduate of the University of Oxford (BSc/MSc, Biochemistry, 2010) and University of Otago (PhD, Microbiology, 2014, he has been a group leader at Monash University since 2016. Among his distinctions, he has received multiple fellowships, published over 130 publications mostly in top journals, and was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Life Scientist of the Year in 2023. A highly collaborative researcher, he has partnered with over 100 laboratories worldwide, as well as large-scale intervention programs and diverse industrial organisations. Also an empowering and inclusive leader, he has mentored multiple researchers to independence.

Abstract of the talk: The atmosphere provides most of the oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen that we depend on, but until now has been thought to lack sufficient energy to sustain life. Here I will demonstrate that diverse microbes live by harvesting the small amounts of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from air using high-affinity enzymes. Through research focused on the model bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis, I will explain the physiological role, genetic regulation, and structural basis of this process. This depends on hydrogenases and carbon monoxide dehydrogenases with structural features that confer high affinity and oxygen insensitivity. These enzymes rely on the newly discovered but widely distributed process of long-range quinone transport to transfer electrons to the respiratory chain. Finally, I will reveal that numerous ecosystems are partially or primarily powered by atmospheric energy sources, and show the enzymes involved can be harnessed in biotechnology to produce electricity and ATP from air. These insights were gained through integrating multiple biophysical techniques, including cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography, protein film electrochemistry, EPR and FTIR spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. These findings redefine the minimal requirements for life and have broad climate, medical, and astrobiological implications.

 

Climate science and the energy transformation: challenges and opportunities (Professor David Brayshaw, University of Reading)

Tuesday 24 June 2025 at15:00-16:00, DYNAMICUM Aqua 1A13c

Energy systems around the world are undergoing rapid and far-reaching change. From the electrification of transport and heating, through to the growing dependence on renewables and increasing weather-exposure of infrastructure, there is an urgent need for high-quality weather and climate information across all time scales to support the energy transition. While much progress has been made over the last 10-15 years, there remain many areas of “disconnect” between energy- and climate- science that need to be addressed to enable deeper exchanges of ideas, data and know-how. This presentation will outline some of the questions, challenges and opportunities involved.
