Welcome to a focused workshop exploring the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) evolution of low-mass stars, white dwarfs, and binary systems.
This meeting celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the first direct gravitational-wave detection and emphasizes the interplay between computational and astrophysical perspectives.
Key features:
- Pedagogical lectures by Prof. Nils Andersson (University of Southampton, UK)
- Sessions on dynamos, MHD turbulence, and magnetic evolution
- Informal and discussion-driven format
- Accommodation on campus (travel self-arranged)
