Wednesday 26th February, 6pm, Arts Lecture Theatre – Cosmic Titans: Talk by Sir Peter Knight and Private View
£3 (free concessions)
Running Time: 1 hour

As part of the Cosmic Titans Exhibition<https://www.lakesidearts.org.uk/exhibition/cosmictitans/> currently taking place at Lakeside, Sir Peter Knight FRS<https://www.lakesidearts.org.uk/event/quantum-technologies/> will be giving a talk on Wednesday 26th February. Silke Weinfurtner, who is hosting the event, thought this could be a great opportunity to bring the Quantum @ Nottingham community together.

Scheduled activities are as follows:

  *   4:30-5:30pm: Private Tour of the Cosmic Titans exhibition for the Quantum community (Neil Walker and Silke Weinfurtner)
  *   6:00-7:00 pm: Quantum Technologies Public Discussion (Peter Knight - Science, Studio Above & Below - Art, Moderation by Helen Kennedy )
Abstract: Discover the impact of quantum physics and technology on our daily lives through the lens of art and science in this discussion between Sir Peter Knight and artist duo ‘Studio Above & Below’ as part of the Cosmic Titans Exhibition at Lakeside

  *   7:00-8:00 pm: Drinks Reception

To attend the discussion talk at 6pm, reserve your place here: https://www.lakesidearts.org.uk/event/quantum-technologies/

A private tour of the Cosmic Titans exhibition will be available from 4.30pm for the Quantum @ Nottingham community and drinks will be served after the talk from 7pm.

Thursday 27th February at 1pm, A113 CAPT – Astronomy Lunch Talk

Joe Butler

Energetics of Intracluster Light and Dark Matter



The diffuse stellar component of galaxy clusters known as intracluster light (ICL) has been proposed as an observable tracer of the cluster’s dark matter (DM) halo. Investigating its energetics is essential for understanding how intracluster stars are dynamically linked to the underlying DM distribution and, consequently, assessing the reliability of the ICL as a DM tracer. In this talk, I will outline how the orbital properties of the intracluster stars differ from both the DM and galaxy population, and propose a possible mechanism to explain these differences.
