Hello everyone!  This week, we are happy to be joined by Dr. Lina Necib of Caltech, talking about her discovery of a group of stars here in the Milky Way, that came from beyond our galaxy.But first, we learn about active volcanoes on Venus, we take a look at the first picture ever taken of a multi-planet system orbiting a Sun-like star, and we study a pair of type Ia supernovae seen erupting in flashes of ultraviolet light.Watch the video version of this episode:This podcast is also available from all major podcast providers.Coming August 4: Dr. Laurent G.J. Montesi, talking about his recent discovery of active volcanoes on Venus!If you enjoyed this episode of The Cosmic Companion, please download and share the episode on YouTube, Facebook Video, or any major podcast provider.For more details on space and astronomy news, please visit: thecosmiccompanion.net or thecosmiccompanion.com.Thanks for watching, listening, and sharing!- James Get full access to The Cosmic Companion at thecosmiccompanion.substack.com/subscribe--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-cosmic-companion/support Get full access to The Cosmic Companion w/ James Maynard at thecosmiccompanion.substack.com/subscribe

Interview with Lina Necib of Caltech on her discovery of Nyx stars from beyond the galaxy - Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion Video and Podcast July 28, 2020

The past few centuries of scientific progress have displaced humanity from the center of it all: the Earth is not at the middle of the Solar System, the Sun is but one star in a large galaxy, there are trillions of galaxies, and so on. Now we know that we’re not even made of the same stuff as most of the universe; for every amount of ordinary atoms and other known particles, there is five times as much dark matter, some kind of stuff we haven’t identified in laboratory experiments. But we do know a great deal about the behavior of dark matter. I talk with Lina Necib about why we think there’s dark matter, what it might be, and how it’s distributed in the galaxy. The latter question has seen enormous recent progress, especially from high-precision measurements of the distribution of stars in the Milky Way.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Lina Necib received her Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is currently a Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar in Theoretical Physics at Caltech, and will be an Assistant Professor of Physics at MIT starting in the fall. Her research spans issues in particle physics and astrophysics, especially concerning the nature and distribution of dark matter, as well as techniques for detecting it and constraining its properties.Web pageInspire publicationsGoogle Scholar publicationsTalk on Dark Matter in the Age of GaiaGaia home pageSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
