    George’s Random Astronomical Object #136: Barium

    George’s Random Astronomical Object presents HD 11397. This Sun-like star might seem ordinary, but it actually contains abnormally large amounts of heavy elements, most notably barium, that it could not have formed itself.

     

    Brief biography: Dr. George Bendo is an astronomer who specializes in studying interstellar dust and star formation in nearby galaxies.  He currently works at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, and his primary role is to support other astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).  He has been creating biweekly episodes of George’s Random Astronomical Object since 2019.

    Awesome Astronomy - Predicting Supernovas

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYLtwPRhnU8

    Ralph Wilkins hosts. 

    Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

    From Oct 21, 2022.

    This show is all about Betelgeuse and supernovas (supernovae? Let's call the whole thing off). What will happen to Betelgeuse? How bright will it get? When will it go supernova? Will we get to see it? How do we predict supernovas?

     

    A new study points to a rapid dimming (like the one we saw in 2019!) just before it obliterates itself in a violent release of energy that will make it brighter than anything else in the night sky.

    Travelers in the Night Eps. 757 & 758: Alien Signals & Weird Supernova

    Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org

    Today's 2 topics:

    - Project Breakthrough Listen is spending $100 million over 10 years so that radio telescopes can search for signals which may indicate extraterrestrial intelligence.In a recent article in the Astronomical Journal a team of astronomers published a paper entitled “A 4–8 GHz Galactic Center Search for Periodic Technosignatures”. The teams first effort yielded a null result, however, they plan to continue to search for rotating beacons which could be used by extraterrestrials to communicate with far flung regions of the Milky Way.

    - An extremely wide field of view camera, the Zwicky Transient Facility, operated by Caltech on Palomar Mountain in California is able to take images of the entire northern sky every couple of days. This capability has enabled to astronomers to find nearly 8,000, Type IA supernova. A recent discovery SN Zwicky is unique.

    The Cosmic Savannah - Ep. 62: Behind the Scenes of the SKAO with Phil Diamond

    Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.

    Part 3 – SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony

    In the third and final part of the SKAO Construction Commencement Ceremony series, Jacinta sits down with Professor Phil Diamond, the Director-General of the SKAO to discuss his thoughts and feelings around the construction commencement ceremony in Australia and on the future of the project as a whole.

     

    Professor Phil Diamond has been a strong supporter of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array) since it was first proposed in the early 1990s and officially joined the project in October 2012. He has led the project through its various design stages up until this point where construction is finally commencing.

     

    In this episode, Prof. Diamond shares his experiences with the site selection, his thoughts on the commencement ceremony as well as insights into the intricate design of the “Christmas tree” antennas of the SKA-Low Telescope. Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at the SKA project!

    Today’s top story brings us 39 new gravitational wave detections of black holes and neutron stars, courtesy of the LIGO and VIRGO detectors. Also, it’s Titan’s turn for interesting molecules in the atmosphere, and researchers examined impact craters to see what might lie beneath Titan’s surface. Plus, Hayabusa2’s impact on Ryugu and an updated origin story for Jupiter and Saturn.

    H’ad Astra Historia Ep. 106: Astronomy Oral History Project Part 2

    Dr. Jarita Holbrook continues with her story of the AAS’ Astronomy Oral History Project.  

    Dr. Holbrook (Harvard Smithsonian Ctr. for Astrophysics, Univ. of Edinburgh, Univ of the Western Cape) continues with her story of the AAS’ Astronomy Oral History Project. You’ll learn about her favorite interviews, and she gives me some advice for future podcast episodes. 

     

    H’ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society.  We’re here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We’ll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were “in the room” during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.

She is a polymath with degrees in anthropology, microbiology & biochemistry, and has many years of experience in both the private sector and government. When not reading some of her way-too-many books, she watches BritBox, creates recipes, or plays in the garden. She chose science writing/editing in astronomy as a new career. In short, she’s a science-word-nerd-foodie-with-a-plant-habit who really likes the stars.

    Cheap Astronomy - Implausible Engineering Ep. 2: Embracing Your Inner Robot

    Robots Like Us...

    Implausible Engineering – Episode 2a: Brain in a robot

    In a step towards technoevolution and potential immortality that some future generation of humanity will develop the ability to transfer their brains into robot bodies and hence have prolonged if not immortal lives. Various complications arise in trying to engineer this. Assuming you have all the vital veins and arteries attached to tubes which feeds a nutrient solution in and out with some kind of hemoglobin carrier in it that donates oxygen and removes carbon dioxide – all you are really doing is replacing the life support systems previously provided by a human body. But your brain is still a brain.

     

    Implausible Engineering – Episode 2b: Evolving into robots

    As we like to discuss on Cheap Astronomy us humans, like the dinosaurs and the trilobites and the blue-green algae are just steps in a meandering evolutionary pathway to nowhere particular. It’s not like the blue-green algae, trilobites or dinosaurs ever aspired to be something better, it’s just that some individuals with certain traits were more successful than others so they had more progeny and so on.

    Exoplanet Radio Ep. 28: How Starshades Can Help Find New Worlds

    From August 28, 2023.

    Most of the 5,000 exoplanets discovered so far have been found using methods that don’t actually see the planet at all.  Brightness dimmings and star wobbles only get us so far. They limit our ability to study them in detail and astronomers are working on gigantic starshades to resolve planets directly!
