Revealing the lives of compact objects — black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs — found within dense stellar environments.
The dense centers of globular clusters host a whole zoo of exotic phenomena, from the coalescence of black hole pairs driven together by gravitational wave emission, to the tidal disruption of stars that wander too close to one another, to fast radio bursts of unknown astrophysical origin. Kremer will discuss his efforts to build computational models of globular clusters and what these models have revealed about the lives of compact objects—black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs—within these dense stellar environments.
The lecture will be held in the Rothenberg Auditorium at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. Doors open at 6:30 pm; there will be a brief musical performance at 7:00 pm; and the lecture will begin at 7:30 pm.
