Dr Victor P. Debattista, a Research Councils UK fellow at the University of Central Lancashire's Centre for Astrophysics, in Preston, is delivering a public lecture entitled 'Understanding the nuclei of galaxies' on March 26, at 6.30 p.m. at the University of Malta's Mathematics and Physics building, room 216.

Dr Debattista will describe the recent discovery and results on VCC 128, a candidate dwarf galaxy with a supermassive black hole that his team discovered using state-of-the-art computer simulations to understand the evolution and behaviour of galactic nuclei. To date he has authored 26 publications on the subject.

The talk is being organised by the University's Department of Physics and the University Group for Astronomical Sciences. Attendance is free.
