About ALVA

ALVA is an astronomy club for students in Lund. The purpose of the club is to provide a place for science students and other people interested in astronomy to get inspiration and to experience how exciting the Universe can be. ALVA arranges astronomy-related activities such as public lectures, stargazing nights, planetarium shows and workshops. We aim to arrange events roughly once per month, usua

Past ALVA events

Galactic Crash Tests ALVA is arranging a talk by Dr. Florent Renaud about galactic collisions. The abstract of the talk is as follows: The most widely accepted theory of galaxy formation claims that a major aspect of the assembly of galaxies is the interaction and mergers with their neighbours. Such interactions are commonly observed as distorted galaxies which host violent bursts of star formatio

Research

Lund Observatory has a long history of famous astronomers working on understanding the dynamics and the constituents of the Milky Way. Today we honour this legacy by actively pursuing questions at the cutting edge of astronomical research, namely the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars and exoplanets. The research here at the Division for Astrophysics is driven by the curiosity of individua

Reference stars for all-sky surveys

Virtually from Lund Observatory, March and April 2021 Scientific motivation The characterization of stellar properties is crucial to studies of Galactic archaeology, exoplanets, and stellar structure and evolution. To ensure the success of these science pillars, a well-established and well-understood set of reference stars is needed. Current and future large surveys of the Milky Way are set to det
