The majority of my data is obtained with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope. The VLT is one of the worlds most advanced optical telescopes and the flagship facility for European ground-based observatory.  I will discuss the VLT\, the instruments that have been most important for my work and present some of the most recent results from my group. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr Emma Whelan (MU) \nEmma Whelan graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2001 with a BA in Physics with Astrophysics.
