  • In this week's episode, David is joined by Dr Jackie Faherty, Senior Scientist and Senior Education Manager at the American Museum of Natural History and co-founded of the BDNYC research team. Jackie is a champion of brown dwarf science, mysterious objects that aren't quite stars, and aren't quite planets.

    Awesome conversation, I learned a lot about brown dwarfs.
    Putting things into categories is not just an astronomy thing, it is a human thing, it offloads the mental capacity needed to treat all objects individually. An expert can treat objects individually, you do it with objects in the solar system, a car nut does it with cars. To the non-expert, categories are the first step to learning and organizing the world.

    She talked many things about the Brown dwarf CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3, but didn’t clarify a plan to confirm the possible “exomoon” (exoplanet) around this Brown dwarf.

  • @DGPPhysics
    @DGPPhysics 28 днів тому

    53:42 it’s unlikely, haven’t been mapped Brown dwarf enough to reach this conclusion, the most likely is that many of them are not in equatorial plan of view so isn’t transit or/and many planets of brown dwarfs are far from the Brown dwarf, there’s is plenty of possibilities, but very likely most of them have planets, we’re like the first navigation maps in planetary maps.

    Starting by saying "Why don't I start by ..." is a) Definitively an American roundabout, too many extra superfluous unnecessary redundant words trope, b) a rhetorical question she never answers, and c) pedagogically unsound.

      @@AndrewBlucher True that kind of skill to get across information with the way your sentences are ordered in a way easier to understand is another skill. I also found in university a lot of academics who are really good at their field can be bad at teaching it, since it's not what they are specialized to do. At that point I guess you as a student need to spend a bit more effort to absorb everything with your curiosity.
