| 5/26/23 |  Dr Kareem El-Badry, incoming Assistant professor at Caltech | Welcome to episode 30 of exploring astrophysics with me, Vikram Bhamre. Today I am joined by Dr. Kareem El-Badry, a researcher who works mostly in the analysis of binary star systems and has obtained the nickname ‘Black hole destroyer’ for some of his past work. Stay tuned to hear more about that! | — | ||||||
| 5/3/23 |  Dr. Lynne Hillenbrand, Professor of Astronomy at Caltech | Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of exploring astrophysics. Today I am speaking to Dr Lynne Hillenbrand, a professor of Astronomy at Caltech who is an expert in the formation and evolution of young stars and the formation of star clusters. Dr. Hillenbrand spoke to me about trying to learn more about the evolution of these young stars, whose processes are often hidden behind dust and gasses from the Nebula it is in. Her work is partly focus on the properties of the circumstellar disc, a disc of gas and dust that rotates around a young star. | — | ||||||
| 3/26/23 |  Dr Maria Charisi, Postdoctoral associate at Vanderbilt University | Today I am joined by Dr Maria Charisi, a postdoctoral associate at Vanderbilt university. Her expertise is in looking for Supermassive Black-Hole Binaries: which are systems that are formed during the collisions of galaxies and weigh well over hundreds of millions of times our Sun. Dr Charisi also talked about her experience in academia and how she would describe it to someone potentially looking for a career in research. | — | ||||||
| 2/20/23 |  Dr Robert Simcoe, Director of MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research | In this episode, Dr Simcoe spoke about his research involving spectroscopy to look back into the early universe and search for the first stars. He also spoke about another interest of his - designing and building astronomical telescopes and instruments - and how it first began when he was still in high school. Lastly, he gave us a sneak peek into the job of a director of a huge astrophysics department like MIT's Kavli institute and the work that goes in to managing it. | — | ||||||
| 12/27/22 |  Dr Gina Panopoulou, Assistant professor, Chalmers University of Technology | In this episode, Dr Panopoulou spoke about how every galaxy has a magnetic field, and by using the polarisation of light we are able to map the structure of this field in our galaxy. We talked about the difficulties of doing this, including the limited information the polarisation of light can convey and how hard it is to check the accuracy of any results. | — | ||||||
| 10/19/22 |  Dr Christian Byrnes, Senior lecturer at the University of Sussex | Dr Byrnes talked about his journey to astrophysics having initially started out with a Mathematics degree at the University of Cambridge. He also talked about his research looking at the early universe - particularly the inflation period. Towards the end, he mentioned his work into primordial black holes and whether they may be the key to finding out about dark matter. | — | ||||||
| 9/11/22 |  Dr Javier Garcia, Assistant professor of physics at Caltech | Dr Garcia has been looking at the gravitational fields near black holes and neutron stars to better understand the phenomenon we see in these unordinary circumstances. He talked about his transition from atomic physics to X-ray astrophysics, and what he has been working on recently. Stay tuned till the end of the episode, where he gives advice on what you can do to get involved in research. | — | ||||||
| 7/17/22 |  Dr Kathy Romer, Professor at the university of Sussex | Dr Romer shared some of her most exciting and coolest experiences as an astrophysicist, including a trip to the south pole! She also mentioned how in the past astronomers would have to travel to the obersevations sites in places like Chile to take the images, rather than having it all automated from your office. Dr Romer spoke about the recent James Webb space telescope images, and her reaction and thoughts to seeing the amazing pictures. | — | ||||||
| 6/11/22 |  Dr Raissa Estrela, Postdoctoral fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory | In this episode Dr Estrela spoke about her research into classifying and charecterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets, and also her research the effects of stellar activity on these exoplanets. Dr Estrela explained how she first was interested in astrobiology and how her work is helping us answer the age old question: Is there life out there? | — | ||||||
| 5/17/22 |  Dr Olivier Hervet, Assistant project scientist at UC Santa Cruz | Active galactic nuclei are found in the centers of galaxies and emit extremely high levels of radiation, which Dr Hervet tries to model computationally. Dr Hervet is also part of the VERITAS collaboration which is a ground based observatory with an array of 4 telescopes, each with a 12 meter wide diameter! | — | ||||||

| 5/15/22 |  Dr Xinnan Du, Outreach and Engagement manager at KIPAC Stanford | This episode Dr Du spoke about some of her work looking at the physical properties of the interstellar medium in distant galaxies. She also spoke about her interest in asgtronomy outreach and the kind of work she does as outreach manager at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology. Listen to the end of the podcast to hear her advice on learning more about astronomy at a young age! | — | ||||||
| 4/3/22 |  Dr Tansu Daylan, Posdoctoral associate and MIT and Princeton | Dr Daylan, told me about his work on explanets utilising primarily the TESS mission, and how the transit method is used to discover these planets. Additionally, he also spoke about the charecteristics that can be inferred from a discovered planets, such as the mass, density and orbital radius. | — | ||||||
| 4/2/22 |  Dr Rana Ezzeddine, Assistant professor and Astrophysicist as the University of Florida | In this episode Dr Ezzeddine told me about how the chemical and physical compositions of stars can be inferred by the use of spectroscopy. Additionally, she explained what the r-process is, and how by building radiative transfer models we can calculate the abundances of elements in the atmospheres of stars. | — | ||||||
| 4/1/22 |  Dr Saeed Salimpour, Researcher at IAU's Office of Astronomy for Education | Dr Salimpour explained the intersection between art and cosmology, and why he believes those two things are inextricable. He also delved into how the beauty of simplicity underlies all of cosmology. | — | ||||||
| 2/27/22 |  Sven Heydenreich, PHD student at the University of Bonn | In this episode, Sven spoke to me about his work in gravitational lensing, and more specifically, a novel statistical analysis method he is developing. He also spoke about how he transitioned to astrophysics from studying math, as well as how his analysis technique could prove incredibly useful in learning more about the matter distribution in our universe. | — | ||||||
