NOIRLab - The Cosmic Finch
The 365 Days of Astronomy - Podcast készítő 365DaysOfAstronomy.org
In 2018 astronomers witnessed an intense explosion far more powerful than the average supernova. 10 to 100 times brighter! This event was the first of a new class of objects called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs). In this podcast, Dr. Ashley Chrimes discusses LFBOTs and a recently discovered event that is quite different than previously seen LFBOTs. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF’s NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Dr. Ashley Chrimes is currently a European Space Agency research fellow, based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC). His research interests are in astrophysical transients, such as gamma-ray bursts, fast blue optical transients and fast radio bursts. His work aims to unravel the progenitors of these transients through their host galaxies and mutli-wavelength emission.
