SUMMARY:General Meeting – February 2023
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public hybrid event\, held both inperson and online. Due to the newly effective insurance requirements\, we regret that we can not allow people under 18 on the Chapman Campus\, they are welcome to attend online.\n Join Zoom\n\n\n  \n  \n  \nPuzzles in Galaxy Evolution\n  \n  \n  \n \nI will describe a pair of sharp puzzles suggesting a possible mismatch between our theory of galaxy evolution and recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). First\, current models predict that most distant galaxies found by JWST should be seen at a time when they are transitioning from the initial assembly of their ingredients to the later processes by which they form stars\, and other structures we recognize as a galaxy.  Instead\, fully-formed\, massive galaxies appear to exist impossibly early\, before their ingredients should even have been able to assemble.  Second\, a possible explanation for this would be that most galaxies grow very differently from the processes we have observed in star-forming regions of our own Milky Way.  I will discuss whether such a difference might be able to reconcile both problems\, or whether something is still “broken”. \n \nCharles Steinhardt is an associate professor at the Cosmic Dawn Center and University of Copenhagen\, having previously spent time at Caltech\, Kavli IPMU\, Harvard\, and Princeton.  His research is inspired by astrophysical phenomena whose explanation has been cast into doubt\, either by new theoretical ideas or new observations.  Recently\, this includes several different areas of astronomy and astrophysics\, including galaxy evolution\, black hole accretion\, and gamma-ray bursts.  Recent work also includes developing machine learning and statistical methods for making full use of the large datasets modern astronomy produces.  He also runs a summer undergraduate research program that brings American students to Copenhagen each summer. \nViews: 2

SUMMARY:Geminids Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:Meteor experts say the Geminid meteor shower is hands-down the best in the heavens\, producing 120 multicolored meteors at the peak. Produced by debris left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon discovered in 1982\, it runs from Dec. 7-17. Moonlight will wash out some of the faintest meteors\, but the Geminids are so bright and prolific they should still offer a good show \nViews: 2

SUMMARY:General Meeting – December 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public hybrid event\, held both inperson and online. Due to the newly effective insurance requirements\, we regret that we can not allow people under 18 on the Chapman Campus\, they are welcome to attend online.\nJoin Zoom\nThe meeting is held at the Irvine Lecture Hall of the Chapman University\, the exact street address can be found on the section above under “VENUE”. \n  \n  \nThe Voyager Spacecraft\n  \n  \nWhere they are\, how they got there\,\n\n  \nand where they are going\n  \n \nTwin Voyager spacecraft were launched in the summer of 1977 on a four-year mission to study Jupiter\, Saturn and their natural satellites. A fortuitous option existed for one of them to continue on to Uranus five years later and Neptune after another three years. Space missions at the time were typically of days to months duration\, and technology for even a four-year mission was considered pushing the limits of technology. A 12-year mission was seen as a pipe dream. But the Voyagers were outfitted with some new innovations\, and techniques were developed in flight to make enhanced science possible at Uranus and Neptune if they should survive that long. The only thought given to a purpose beyond Neptune was in the form of a video record of sounds\, music and greetings from the people of Earth to any intelligent beings that might happen upon the derelict remains of either craft somewhere in the cosmos. As the world has seen\, expectations were exceeded beyond anyone’s imagination. The spacecraft are still operating well\, with data being transmitted continuously and received daily. \nThis talk is intended to focus on the spacecraft technologies and highly creative techniques developed in flight\, in the hands of a dedicated flight team\, that allowed these intrepid explorers to extend their four-year prime mission to 45 years now\, with the expectation of another possible five to ten years before they finally succumb to the inevitable loss of enough electrical power to keep them running. \n \nTim Hogle became hooked on astronomy at age 12 after building a 3″ Newtonian telescope and seeing Saturn with it in the dark skies of his front yard. These interests\, astronomy and telescope making\, have stayed with him ever since. After graduating in electrical engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1971\, he joined the Navy Air Corps as a Naval Flight Officer for a few years\, then left the Navy and serendipitously joined JPL and the Voyager flight team shortly after their launches; a dream opportunity to explore the solar system in a detail he never could through a telescope. This was so much fun that he accepted an offer to continue with the team to explore Uranus and Neptune.\nStarting as a real time analyst\, seeing the data coming in before anyone else saw it\, he soon became the senior spacecraft systems engineer\, responsible for a wide variety of duties including data and anomaly analysis\, sequence\, test\, and contingency planning\, and being involved in nearly all aspects of the mission. By the Neptune encounter\, the Voyagers were as close as family members to him\, and Tim wanted to continue using his years of experience to extend the mission as long as possible. His total time with Voyager was 27½ years. He has been retired since 2006\, but kept in touch with former colleagues on the flight team to keep abreast of the progress of the Voyagers in his absence. In retirement\, his astronomical interest has continued with visual observing at every opportunity\, especially of faint galaxies through an 18″ telescope. \nViews: 2

DESCRIPTION:The Leonids meteor shower runs Nov. 6-30 and puts on an average show of about 15 meteors an hour — except during cyclonic peaks that occur about every 33 years\, when hundreds of meteors an hour can be seen. It happened last in 2001\, putting us years away from a similar show from this shower created by dust grains left behind by comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle\, discovered in 1865 \nViews: 2

SUMMARY:Online General Meeting – November 2022
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public online event. \nJoin Zoom\n\n\n  \nX-raying the Winds of Giant Stars\n\n  \n\n  \n  \n  \nWe are made of stardust—or\, at least in significant parts\, of material produced in giant stars. These giant stars have strong winds that strip away the outer layers of stellar material. To understand giant stars\, astronomers thus need to understand their winds. In this talk\, Dr. Grinberg will explain why astrophysicists use space-based X-ray telescopes such as ESA’s XMM-Newton to study such winds and show how they are using black holes and neutron stars as backlights to make such stellar winds visible. \n  \nPhoto:Friedhelm Albrecht/Universität Tübingen \n  \nDr. Victoria Grinberg is an astrophysicist working in the Netherlands for the European Space Agency (ESA) where she helps ESA communicate with the scientific community. After her PhD in Germany\, her research has taken her around the world – USA\, the Netherlands and again Germany – before accepting her current position. Using space-based telescopes\, Dr. Grinberg is studying the most extreme environments in our Universe: black holes\, neutron stars\, and the winds of the most massive giant stars. She also publishes on sustainability and climate crisis from an astrophysics perspective. In her free time\, Dr. Grinberg creates cartoons about science and academia. \nViews: 2

SUMMARY:Taurids Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:What makes this long-running meteor shower unique is that it consists of two separate streams — the first created by grain dust left behind by Asteroid 2004/TG10\, and the second by dust grains left behind by Comet 2P/Encke. It runs Sept. 7-Dec. 10. A nearly full moon at the peak will make viewing difficult. \nViews: 2
