Mari-Liis Aru talks about how UV radiation from massive stars in star clusters photoevaporates protoplanetary disks from outside, affecting their sizes, masses and survival. Using a spatially resolved dataset of proplyds in the Orion Nebula Cluster taken with VLT/MUSE, she presents efforts to identify signatures unique to external photoevaporation, including comparisons with low-mass star-forming regions, and discusses new tracers for researching proplyds.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/astrophysics-weekly-seminar-mari-liis-aru-under-uv-pressure-131210/", "official_url": "https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/216273/astrophysics-weekly-seminar-mari-liis-aru-under-uv-pressure-imprints-of-external-photoevaporation-on-protoplanetary-disks/", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-10T14:15:00Z", "end": "2026-11-10T15:15:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "SPC Seminar – Climate – Tom Goren (BIU)", "start": "2026-11-12T11:30:00Z", "end": "2026-11-12T12:30:00Z", "place": "Imperial College London", "address": "Exhibition Road, SW7 2AZ London", "price": "", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["nature/climate"], "description": "A seminar in the SPC Seminar series on climate, open to all and with first-come-first-served entry.
