Description
The Fermi satellite has been in orbit for two and a half years, and its unprecedented energy range has led to the discovery of several new phenemona in gamma ray burst prompt spectra. Sinead will review previous cases where photospheric emission was present in the spectra, and present current work on a sample of Fermi-detected GRBs.
The talk is followed by a social gathering with wine and cheese.
