Скачать или смотреть Binaries Across the Universe - Catherine Clark - 08/19/2024

Why are some stars gravitationally bound to another star, forming a binary system? Are there any real-life Tatooine planets that orbit a binary star system? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Catherine Clark, a research scientist at Caltech / IPAC and expert in binary star evolution.

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://www.astro.caltech.edu/outreac...

Catherine Clark is a scientist at Caltech IPAC, working as the outreach coordinator for the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. She earned her PhD in astronomy at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona, investigating M-dwarf multiplicity and its effect on planetary system architectures and occurrence rates using high-resolution imaging. https://astro-catherine.github.io
