Schedule

Friday Nov. 7th 6 pm Keynote:

Seeing the Stars Up-Close with the CHARA Array

For most telescopes, all but a very small number of stars are just pinpricks of light. We can learn a lot from them when we measure their emission at different wavelengths or measure how their output changes over time, but at the end of the day, they're still just point sources. Using Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array, we are able to zoom in and see the surfaces of nearby stars and their environments. In this talk, I will discuss how we're able to achieve such high resolution and show off some of my favorite CHARA images from the last few years.

The detailed schedule (including all talks on Saturday the 8th) will be posted by or before October 31st: Check back soon!
