Скачать или смотреть An X-ray View of Stars and Black Holes - Margaret Lazzarini - 12/16/2024

What do stars and black holes look like in x-rays? How has the NASA Chandra telescope revolutionized our understanding of the high-energy sky? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Dr. Margaret Lazzarini, an x-ray astronomer at CalState Los Angeles.

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://outreach.astro.caltech.edu/aot

Margaret Lazzarini is a professor of physics at California State University in Los Angeles. She studied at Yale and later earned her PhD at the University of Washington before doing a postdoc at Caltech. Her research explores how we can use multi-wavelength observations of evolved massive stellar binaries in nearby galaxies to deepen our understanding of massive binary stellar evolution and the production of gravitational waves via compact binary mergers. https://margaretlazzarini.github.io/
