- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+09:00)
- **Event Description**: "Fantastic black holes and how to find them"
While black holes speak a lot to the imagination, actually finding them is not easy, as they emit no light.  This month, Soetkin Janssens (University of Tokyo) will briefly explain some of the most common discovery techniques used nowadays, and give some examples of black holes we found.


Speaker info:
Soetkin Janssens is from Belgium and did her masters and PhD at KU Leuven in Belgium, where she also did one exchange year in Finland during her masters.  Now she is here in Tokyo for a postdoc for over a year already.  She mostly works on observations of binaries with massive stars -- stars which will collapse into black holes and neutron stars -- where one star already collapsed. Through a JSPS fellowship, she landed a position in Japan, where she continued her work in the same direction.
