SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Michael Schulreich
DESCRIPTION:Reconstructing the origin of the Local Bubble and Loop I via radioisotopic signatures on Earth\nDeep-sea archives all over the world show an enhanced concentration of the radionuclide 60Fe\, isolated in layers dating from about 2.2Myr ago. Since this comparatively long-lived isotope is not naturally produced on Earth\, such an enhancement can only be attributed to extraterrestrial sources\, particularly one or several nearby supernovae in the recent past. It has been speculated that these supernovae might have been involved in the formation of the Local Superbubble\, our Galactic habitat. In this talk\, I will summarize our efforts in giving a quantitative evidence for this scenario. Besides analytical calculations\, I will present results from high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the Local Superbubble and its presumptive neighbor Loop I in different environments\, including a self-consistently evolved supernova-driven interstellar medium. For the superbubble modeling\, the time sequence and locations of the generating core-collapse supernova explosions are taken into account\, which are derived from the mass spectrum of the perished members of certain\, carefully preselected stellar moving groups. The release and turbulent mixing of 60Fe is followed via passive scalars\, where the yields of the decaying radioisotope were adjusted according to recent stellar evolution calculations. The models are able to reproduce both the timing and the intensity of the 60Fe excess observed with rather high precision. I will close with a discussion of recent developments and give future perspectives.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Frank Haberl
DESCRIPTION:The XMM-Newton surveys of the Magellanic Clouds\nUsing the XMM-Newton observatory\, we performed X-ray surveys of the Magellanic Clouds\, the two star-forming galaxies nearest to the Milky Way. The images obtained from the EPIC instruments provide a wealth of information about the X-ray source populations in the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud. Due to their proximity we can resolve the emission from supernova remnants\, and we have discovered many new X-ray binaries powered by accretion of matter. In particular the Small Magellanic Cloud is remarkable with respect to its large number of X-ray binaries with a high-mass donor star. These discrete sources are embedded in diffuse X-ray emission which originates in the hot phase of the interstellar medium of the clouds.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Bosco Oruru
DESCRIPTION:Status of Astronomy in East Africa: Focus on Uganda\nAstronomy and Cosmology are science disciplines that give an in-depth description and analysis of the structures and forms that characterize the universe. Although Astronomy and Cosmology are not yet fully developed in the East African region\, several affirmative developments have been registered in the establishment of the disciplines in the region. These include\, among others: postgraduate training of students from Uganda\, Kenya\, Rwanda and Ethiopia in South Africa since 2003\, benefiting from the South African National Astrophysics and Space Science Programme (NASSP) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Project. Some of these have since graduated with PhDs and returned to their home countries to contribute to the development of the disciplines. The Entoto Observatory in Ethiopia has been commissioned to provide infrastructure for Observational Astronomy and outreach activities. Kenya will host some Radio Astronomy telescopes under SKA. Most public universities in Ethiopia offer Astronomy at undergraduate level\, while a few offer it at postgraduate level. In Kenya\, Astronomy has been introduced at undergraduate level at the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University\, respectively. In Uganda\, Mbarara University of Science and Technology leads by offering Astronomy as major components of Physics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels\, and many graduate students do projects/research in Astrophysics. In Rwanda\, the National University of Rwanda also offers Astronomy as a component of Physics for undergraduate students. Since 2009\, the East African Astronomical Society (EAAS) has been formed and workshops have been held in Kenya\, Ethiopia\, Uganda and Rwanda\, respectively. In 2013\, the East African Astronomical Research Network (EAARN) was formed by astrophysicists\, with the sole aim of improving research capacity and collaboration in Astrophysics. Although Makerere University is the oldest public university in Uganda and among the top ranking universities in Africa\, Astronomy is yet to be fully developed. An effort has been made to introduce it as taught components of Physics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This has created awareness among students and also cultivated much interest in pursuing further careers in Astrophysics. The university has at least employed on full-time one professional Astrophysicist who may spearhead the establishment of the field. Initially\, part-time lecturers were being engaged to help teach astronomy related courses. Successful establishment of Astronomy at Makerere University will require adequate resources\, which are lacking at the moment. However\, with support\, collaborations and graduate training\, this can be achieved.
