Chaos in astrophysics

Wednesday 05th, May 14:05-15:55pm, Carslaw Building Room 359.

Recent advances in understanding complex astrophysical systems pointed towards the existence of low-dimensional chaotic behaviour on various time and distance scales. Examples include seemingly random variations of oscillating stars which have been successfully interpreted in terms of non-linear interactions of regular acoustic modes. In this talk I will give a brief review of chaos applications related to astrophysical objects and phenomena.
