1 00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:02,899 our talk tonight is the life cycle of 2 00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:07,529 dust in galaxies we have an astronomer 3 00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:08,820 in the office of public outreach who 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:11,940 studies dust and I got to say that some 5 00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:13,290 of the other astronomers you know give 6 00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:14,670 him a little bit of a hard time like aha 7 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:16,529 you're looking at dust out there you 8 00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:17,880 know a can a pledge could wipe you out 9 00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:21,000 well this is actually one of the most 10 00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:22,470 important things in astronomy and 11 00:00:26,689 --> 00:00:24,390 Margaret will be able to show you if the 12 00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:26,699 splendors of dust in the universe 13 00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:30,390 tonight upcoming next month Tom Brown 14 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:32,910 who was a gracious and postponed news 15 00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:34,410 talk when we had a special guest speaker 16 00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:36,630 a few months ago will talk about on the 17 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:39,000 trail of the missing galaxies the oldest 18 00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:42,450 stars in the neighborhood in our local 19 00:00:48,139 --> 00:00:45,989 galactic neighborhood October Bill Blair 20 00:00:51,139 --> 00:00:48,149 of from across the street Johns Hopkins 21 00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:51,149 will do present a multi-wavelength view 22 00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:54,180 of stellar life and death in Messier 83 23 00:00:58,729 --> 00:00:56,510 or another talk actually he had about 24 00:01:00,979 --> 00:00:58,739 writing another title he had like four 25 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:00,989 different titles he was suggesting this 26 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:02,730 is the one that I said oh this sounds 27 00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:04,170 good bill but he hasn't got back to me 28 00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:05,369 as to which one you'll actually choose 29 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:08,280 but it'll be about supernovae in the 30 00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:11,369 galaxy Messier 83 in November 31 00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:13,670 unfortunately our speaker TVA is back 32 00:01:19,789 --> 00:01:16,950 and he keeps popping up every now and 33 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:19,799 then this I will note is on November 1st 34 00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:21,930 it's not on election night election 35 00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:24,299 night will be November 8th so the week 36 00:01:28,219 --> 00:01:25,860 before election night maybe we're gonna 37 00:01:30,649 --> 00:01:28,229 have a debate you know no no no no 38 00:01:33,499 --> 00:01:30,659 absolutely not we don't do politics here 39 00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:33,509 but please come the week before you vote 40 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:35,640 to our public lecture series 41 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:38,930 I'll have that speaker for you in a bit 42 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:42,450 deconstruction as you know San Martin 43 00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:44,369 drives south of STScI will be closed 44 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,159 until approximately September 2016 45 00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:49,200 so to get here tonight you had to 46 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:51,000 approach STS yeah I from the north 47 00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:53,250 however you'll notice that September 48 00:01:59,569 --> 00:01:56,880 2016 so by the next month things might 49 00:02:01,880 --> 00:01:59,579 have changed if you go to this website 50 00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:01,890 it says that phase 1 is scheduled to be 51 00:02:08,059 --> 00:02:05,180 completed the end of August with phase 2 52 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:08,069 to begin immediately afterward that 53 00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:11,370 means that next time we have this it 54 00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:13,800 could be see all this 55 00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:15,990 stuff here that's currently closed it 56 00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:18,300 could be then that then the red stuff 57 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,150 and the yellow stuff will be closed so 58 00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:22,800 instead of coming from University 59 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:25,650 Parkway south to STScI you will have to 60 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:28,560 come from Wyman Park Drive to come north 61 00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:31,650 to us okay so approach us from the south 62 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:34,200 so next month I expect I will have this 63 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,330 one that between September and December 64 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,640 the north part will be closed so 65 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:41,760 approach from Wyman Park Drive if you 66 00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:44,730 are on our email list I will the day or 67 00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:46,860 both of the lecture or before the 68 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:48,870 lecture make sure that you get the 69 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:50,730 proper instructions as to whether come 70 00:02:55,370 --> 00:02:52,890 from the north or from the South okay or 71 00:02:58,670 --> 00:02:55,380 you can just to check this website for 72 00:03:02,030 --> 00:02:58,680 yourself our website where you get 73 00:03:03,620 --> 00:03:02,040 information like this is well if you 74 00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:03,630 just search Hubble public talks you'll 75 00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:04,950 find it in your favorite search engine 76 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:07,470 at Hubble site we have a Golding Hubble 77 00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:09,810 site or go talks you get the list of the 78 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:12,900 upcoming lectures you have links to the 79 00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:16,290 live YouTube and STS a webcasting feeds 80 00:03:21,860 --> 00:03:18,930 as well as the past lectures on YouTube 81 00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:21,870 and the STS a

00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:39,090 is called public lecture announce last 88 00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:41,630 thing if you have questions or cut 89 00:03:46,790 --> 00:03:44,580 social media we are on Facebook we had 90 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:46,800 two Twitter accounts we're on Google+ 91 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:49,610 we have Pinterest I'm also on Facebook 92 00:03:58,370 --> 00:03:53,610 Google+ and Twitter occasionally and I 93 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,380 have a blog on Hubbell site alright 94 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:00,480 the observatory the weather appears to 95 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:02,790 be permitting so it looks like there 96 00:04:06,979 --> 00:04:04,890 will be observing tonight this is the 97 00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:06,989 Maryland Space Grant Observatory which 98 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:08,580 is on top of the physics and astronomy 99 00:04:12,590 --> 00:04:10,650 building across the street here in 100 00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:12,600 Hopkins so you can go up and do a little 101 00:04:18,289 --> 00:04:16,140 bit observing afterwards Duncan will 102 00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:18,299 probably be here at the end if I forget 103 00:04:22,219 --> 00:04:20,280 somebody remind me hey hey what about 104 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:22,229 the observing because you'll just sort 105 00:04:26,529 --> 00:04:24,330 of meet if you cannot go over by 106 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:26,539 yourself you got to go over with Duncan 107 00:04:30,499 --> 00:04:28,050 because you got 108 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:30,509 through some some get into the building 109 00:04:34,719 --> 00:04:31,889 and through some stairs and up and you 110 00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:34,729 have to go as a group okay all right 111 00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:38,550 news from the universe for August 2016 112 00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:40,590 and I will apologize it's gonna be a 113 00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:42,270 little abbreviated because we've been 114 00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:43,590 really busy in the office of public 115 00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:45,300 outreach lately I didn't have enough 116 00:04:49,089 --> 00:04:47,220 time to prepare full stories but I do 117 00:04:52,999 --> 00:04:49,099 have two short stories for you tonight 118 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:53,009 our first story the final frontier of 119 00:05:00,260 --> 00:04:58,530 the universe if you keep up with popular 120 00:05:04,159 --> 00:05:00,270 culture you know that this year is the 121 00:05:07,339 --> 00:05:04,169 50th anniversary of Star Trek the Star 122 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:07,349 Trek series 50 years ago how many 123 00:05:13,370 --> 00:05:09,120 seasons did the original Star Trek TV 124 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:13,380 show last just three it's amazing that 125 00:05:17,899 --> 00:05:15,990 this franchise has lasted so long but 126 00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:17,909 the original TV series is only three 127 00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:22,199 seasons well we here at Hubble and NASA 128 00:05:27,999 --> 00:05:24,630 like to get in on a good pop culture 129 00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:28,009 reference so well we don't have 130 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:30,150 spaceships that can explore the universe 131 00:05:37,219 --> 00:05:33,330 we don't have warp drive to boost us to 132 00:05:39,499 --> 00:05:37,229 the far side of the galaxy but we do 133 00:05:43,219 --> 00:05:39,509 explore the universe and we use a 134 00:05:46,969 --> 00:05:43,229 version of nature's own warp drive what 135 00:05:49,490 --> 00:05:46,979 we do have is gravitational lensing the 136 00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:49,500 mass of giant clusters of galaxies 137 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:51,960 actually warps the fabric of space 138 00:05:58,459 --> 00:05:55,849 around them and using that spatial warp 139 00:06:02,450 --> 00:05:58,469 the light that passes through it is 140 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:02,460 redirected such that the light actually 141 00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:07,130 lens acts like a lens and focuses and 142 00:06:13,219 --> 00:06:09,180 amplifies the light that passes through 143 00:06:15,589 --> 00:06:13,229 it so we have gravitational lensing that 144 00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:15,599 we can use to look at the most distant 145 00:06:20,749 --> 00:06:18,150 regions of universe and we have done so 146 00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:20,759 in a project called the frontier fields 147 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:24,270 and for the press release that we did 148 00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:27,210 celebrating in honor of stark the new 149 00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:28,860 Star Trek movie in Star Trek's 50th 150 00:06:36,139 --> 00:06:31,590 anniversary we released the last the 151 00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:36,149 final of our frontier fields a bell s106 152 00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:40,320 3 so what you are seeing here is this 153 00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:41,990 giant cluster of 154 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:44,750 sees all these galaxies here that are so 155 00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:47,690 massive - combined that they warp the 156 00:06:52,210 --> 00:06:50,630 space around it and then the galaxies 157 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:52,220 that are behind it the light that passes 158 00:06:57,190 --> 00:06:54,530 through gets warped it becomes distorted 159 00:06:59,650 --> 00:06:57,200 you can see these long streaky Archy 160 00:07:02,170 --> 00:06:59,660 things those are gravitationally lens 161 00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:02,180 arcs they are the images of galaxies 162 00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:04,190 behind the cluster that have become 163 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:05,660 stretched out as the light passes 164 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:08,450 through that cluster of galaxies all 165 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:08,690 right 166 00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:11,510 it also amplifies the light makes it 167 00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:14,060 brighter so that we can see fainter 168 00:07:19,870 --> 00:07:16,580 galaxies by looking through this cluster 169 00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:19,880 than we otherwise could all right the 170 00:07:24,130 --> 00:07:21,620 frontier fields project is one of the 171 00:07:27,130 --> 00:07:24,140 largest projects ever to get time on 172 00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:27,140 Hubble and it not only observes these 173 00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:30,260 giant clusters but while one instrument 174 00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:31,340 is observing these giant clusters 175 00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:34,040 another instrument is observing a random 176 00:07:39,130 --> 00:07:36,740 field relatively nearby and so we also 177 00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:39,140 have these deep fields that we can 178 00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:42,230 release because we process two images at 179 00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:44,540 the same time one of the cluster one of 180 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:46,880 this parallel field and these parallel 181 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:49,520 fields are very deep images of the night 182 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:51,650 skies like the Hubble Deep Field and 183 00:07:58,330 --> 00:07:55,250 Hubble ultra-deep field so using the 184 00:08:01,150 --> 00:07:58,340 nature's warp drive we are exploring the 185 00:08:03,790 --> 00:08:01,160 frontiers of the universe with the 186 00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:03,800 frontier fields project and if you think 187 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:06,620 that sort of play on words was bad you 188 00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:08,210 ought to read the press releases because 189 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:10,460 they gets really bad in terms of trying 190 00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:12,890 to use the play on words but there was a 191 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:14,990 way of connecting with the the Star Trek 192 00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:17,570 50th anniversary and showing off the 193 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:19,790 deep deep images we are getting of the 194 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:20,810 universe with the frontier fields 195 00:08:28,450 --> 00:08:24,800 project our second story tonight is 196 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:28,460 about the heart of the Crab Nebula now 197 00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:31,730 in 2000 or 2001 we released this image 198 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:34,750 of the Crab Nebula the Crab Nebula is a 199 00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:37,850 supernova remnant this is a star that 200 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:39,800 was observed by chinese astronomers to 201 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:42,530 have exploded from our point of view a 202 00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:45,970 thousand years ago we saw the star 203 00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:49,400 brightened a thousand years ago it was 204 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:51,140 bright enough to be observed in the 205 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:53,690 daytime for about a month okay 206 00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:54,450 and 207 00:08:58,220 --> 00:08:56,100 we look in that same spot in the sky 208 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,230 these days this is what we see we see 209 00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:00,000 the guts of the star just blown out 210 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:02,910 across space and so this is Hubble's 211 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:05,760 image from but this is probably this is 212 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:08,370 a with pictu image of the Crab Nebula 213 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:10,650 and you can see all of the the material 214 00:09:15,650 --> 00:09:12,530 of the star that blows out into space 215 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:15,660 now at the center of the Crab Nebula the 216 00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:17,970 beating heart of the Crab Nebula is 217 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:21,300 something called a pulsar and so we just 218 00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:24,000 released in this month this image of a 219 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:26,220 core of the Crab Nebula all right you 220 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:28,410 can see that filamentary structure but 221 00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:30,690 you can also see these rings around here 222 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:33,000 circling around at the center which is 223 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:36,420 where the pulsar is now a pulsar is a 224 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:39,570 neutron star that is spinning okay and a 225 00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:42,570 neutron star is basically an atomic 226 00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:44,700 nucleus all right that weighs as much as 227 00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:47,460 the Sun right because all of the 228 00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:49,320 material at the end of the supernova 229 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:51,990 explosion collapses that the core of it 230 00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:54,450 collapses to become there's really super 231 00:10:00,770 --> 00:09:57,780 dense neutron star at the core and it is 232 00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:00,780 spinning so fast that the heart of the 233 00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:03,800 crowd nebula spins 30 times every second 234 00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:06,900 this was a signal that was discovered by 235 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:12,180 radio astronomers in 1960 1961 called 236 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:13,200 lgm1 237 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:16,490 as in little green men number one 238 00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:19,050 because we didn't know what it was back 239 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:21,780 in the 60s we now know that it is a 240 00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:24,240 neutron star spinning 30 times a second 241 00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:26,940 and it has intense intense magnetic 242 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:29,190 field and here you can actually see the 243 00:10:33,740 --> 00:10:31,410 rings around here our material that is 244 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:33,750 actually moving away and you can see the 245 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:36,570 material and we actually have time-lapse 246 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:37,890 of this where we can actually watch the 247 00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:40,650 material move away from the Crab Nebula 248 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,600 one of the few things in astronomy that 249 00:10:48,290 --> 00:10:44,880 changes during our lifetime 250 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:48,300 there was no science new science result 251 00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:50,970 released with this image this was just a 252 00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:52,830 reprocessing of other data that we had 253 00:11:00,260 --> 00:10:56,910 gotten but going in deeper and seeing 254 00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:00,270 the heart of the Crab Nebula okay that 255 00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:02,340 was our Hubble heritage release for July 256 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:12,890 well if I go back to this image the 257 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:16,950 neutron star is about in here okay 258 00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:18,990 the two images are actually at slightly 259 00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:20,940 different orientation okay I think the 260 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:24,150 the image is rotated about 110 degrees 261 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:26,910 from from this image I was gonna line 262 00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:28,050 them up but I didn't quite have time 263 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:31,350 today to do that sorry about right but 264 00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:33,510 yeah it is it is it is in the in the 265 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:36,540 core of that by the way this nebula here 266 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:40,830 is about ten light years across okay so 267 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,050 it's gone from being a single star to 268 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:45,360 being about ten light years across over 269 00:11:51,770 --> 00:11:48,410 the course of a thousand years all right 270 00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:51,780 okay so now we go to our featured 271 00:11:57,890 --> 00:11:55,110 speaker and our featured speaker tonight 272 00:12:00,170 --> 00:11:57,900 is Margaret Meixner she and I first met 273 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:00,180 at the University of California Berkeley 274 00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:02,610 where we were doing our graduate school 275 00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:04,860 together back at Berkeley they're 276 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:07,980 actually several from from our group of 277 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:09,930 astronomers going through grad students 278 00:12:12,830 --> 00:12:11,010 going through Berkeley that are working 279 00:12:14,450 --> 00:12:12,840 here at Space Telescope so obviously we 280 00:12:17,330 --> 00:12:14,460 were just an amazing group of grad 281 00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:17,340 students right several of us ended up 282 00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:20,790 here Margaret however was Mark was the 283 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:23,190 most exceptional of all of us as 284 00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:26,490 evidenced by after she graduated and got 285 00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:30,870 her PhD she didn't go to a postdoc she 286 00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:32,910 was offered an associate assistant 287 00:12:36,650 --> 00:12:34,680 professorship at the University of 288 00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:36,660 Illinois she went straight from grad 289 00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:39,180 school to being a professor that just 290 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:41,670 almost never happens okay that tells you 291 00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:42,770 how special she is 292 00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:44,820 fortunately University of Illinois 293 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:47,940 couldn't keep her alright and in 2002 294 00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:49,770 she came here to the whole Space 295 00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:52,350 Telescope Science Institute and has been 296 00:12:59,300 --> 00:12:54,120 here for I guess 14 years now that makes 297 00:13:02,510 --> 00:12:59,310 it yeah she is an expert in dust of 298 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:02,520 course but she's also really really good 299 00:13:08,210 --> 00:13:05,010 at doing very large observations very 300 00:13:09,970 --> 00:13:08,220 large survey observations the last talk 301 00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:09,980 you gave here was on planetary nebula 302 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:12,840 right but you've gay you've done since 303 00:13:17,929 --> 00:13:15,690 then done a number of very large surveys 304 00:13:19,339 --> 00:13:17,939 and she's done them so well 305 00:13:21,139 --> 00:13:19,349 they've actually made her put her in 306 00:13:23,779 --> 00:13:21,149 charge a lot of things and her current 307 00:13:25,069 --> 00:13:23,789 position as as deputy of the instruments 308 00:13:27,169 --> 00:13:25,079 division here 309 00:13:28,909 --> 00:13:27,179 I think she's pleased to be able to talk 310 00:13:30,889 --> 00:13:28,919 about the science work that she loves so 311 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:30,899 much so ladies and gentlemen dr. 312 00:13:50,239 --> 00:13:48,720 Margaret Meixner can you hear me if you 313 00:13:54,319 --> 00:13:50,249 can in the back wave your hand 314 00:13:56,689 --> 00:13:54,329 all right good all right so I'm gonna 315 00:13:59,479 --> 00:13:56,699 talk to you about the life cycle of dust 316 00:14:01,999 --> 00:13:59,489 and galaxies and the subtitle here is 317 00:14:03,849 --> 00:14:02,009 from these large surveys that Frank was 318 00:14:06,669 --> 00:14:03,859 telling you that I that I'd love to do 319 00:14:09,409 --> 00:14:06,679 insights from Spitzer and Herschel 320 00:14:13,460 --> 00:14:09,419 Spitzer and Herschel are two infrared 321 00:14:16,609 --> 00:14:13,470 space observatories that flew Spitzer 322 00:14:18,409 --> 00:14:16,619 Stoll still out there and I used it to 323 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:18,419 survey the Magellanic Clouds how many 324 00:14:27,139 --> 00:14:19,409 people have heard of the Magellanic 325 00:14:28,460 --> 00:14:27,149 Clouds before Wow very well all right so 326 00:14:30,999 --> 00:14:28,470 this is a picture of the Large 327 00:14:38,179 --> 00:14:31,009 Magellanic Cloud that's a combination of 328 00:14:39,859 --> 00:14:38,189 both Spitzer and Herschel data and it 329 00:14:42,499 --> 00:14:39,869 looks very disc II it has all this 330 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:42,509 frothy very colorful things and I look 331 00:14:50,299 --> 00:14:45,199 at it it's like wow this is beautiful 332 00:14:52,129 --> 00:14:50,309 isn't that beautiful and I look at it I 333 00:14:54,439 --> 00:14:52,139 said this is beautiful but I can't help 334 00:14:56,179 --> 00:14:54,449 but thinking about all the dust that's 335 00:14:57,649 --> 00:14:56,189 in it that's causing it because all this 336 00:15:01,099 --> 00:14:57,659 emission you see here is actually from 337 00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:01,109 the dust in these galaxies in particular 338 00:15:08,659 --> 00:15:03,179 I asked myself the question of why does 339 00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:08,669 this galaxy have dust because as you may 340 00:15:12,109 --> 00:15:10,289 have heard in these forums the whole 341 00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:12,119 universe began is mostly hydrogen and 342 00:15:16,339 --> 00:15:13,889 helium it may be a few other elements 343 00:15:20,029 --> 00:15:16,349 but we've got dust now so how did it get 344 00:15:22,579 --> 00:15:20,039 there so what I'm gonna be talking to 345 00:15:24,019 --> 00:15:22,589 you about is the life cycle of dust in 346 00:15:27,769 --> 00:15:24,029 galaxies and I'm going to use this 347 00:15:30,049 --> 00:15:27,779 cartoon to describe how dust gets there 348 00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:30,059 or the processes in there and also how 349 00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:30,760 much 350 00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:33,640 a little we know about it so let me go 351 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:34,990 through this because I'm gonna use this 352 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:36,610 as a narrative tool throughout the whole 353 00:15:43,530 --> 00:15:40,240 talk so at the center here we have what 354 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:43,540 I call the origin of dust so dust can be 355 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:46,000 formed in the atmospheres of AGB stars 356 00:15:50,580 --> 00:15:48,610 so AG B stands for asymptotic giant 357 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:50,590 branch stars these are dying stars like 358 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:53,170 our Sun will become an Ag B star and 359 00:15:59,820 --> 00:15:57,490 they blow winds and send out dust dust 360 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,830 dust may also arise in supernovae so 361 00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:01,120 Frank just talked to you about the Crab 362 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:04,270 Nebula the crab has dust in it and 363 00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:07,450 that's the pipe to supernova that's when 364 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:10,270 a massive star explodes type 1a 365 00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:13,450 supernovas are being looked at but 366 00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:14,830 there's that's more like a white dwarf 367 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:16,990 pair exploding so anyway these are where 368 00:16:21,630 --> 00:16:19,510 the new grains come from and they get 369 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:21,640 injected out drifts out into the 370 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:26,050 interstellar medium and they're in the 371 00:16:30,930 --> 00:16:28,210 interstellar medium they get processed a 372 00:16:33,210 --> 00:16:30,940 lot so these same supernovae that create 373 00:16:34,890 --> 00:16:33,220 dust will also send huge shock waves in 374 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:34,900 the interstellar medium and they'll 375 00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:38,170 shatter the grains and then these grains 376 00:16:42,810 --> 00:16:40,420 will drift around because the is M 377 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:42,820 drifts around into the inter cloud 378 00:16:49,890 --> 00:16:48,010 medium clouds will form out of these and 379 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:49,900 the dust kind of gets dragged along with 380 00:16:55,530 --> 00:16:53,050 the gas in there and then they become 381 00:16:59,190 --> 00:16:55,540 cold clouds and maybe in the cold clouds 382 00:17:01,320 --> 00:16:59,200 you get growth of dust that as the 383 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:01,330 grains grow bigger because they're cold 384 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:03,490 and they get Mantle's around them and 385 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:05,730 maybe they just start sticking and grow 386 00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:08,410 and then from and then this this whole 387 00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:11,350 cycle out here the is M can happen 388 00:17:16,590 --> 00:17:13,780 around but also from these dense clouds 389 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:16,600 you can form young stars and so young 390 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:19,690 stars form and then you know they they 391 00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:21,490 grow up to main sequence stars and then 392 00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:23,920 the whole process to Stiles starts over 393 00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:25,209 again so that's why we call it a life 394 00:17:31,530 --> 00:17:28,560 cycle because stars have a life cycle 395 00:17:33,180 --> 00:17:31,540 and because stars have a life cycle on 396 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:33,190 the air in some sense the sources and 397 00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:40,780 all right so let me talk a little bit 398 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:42,380 about the Magellanic Clouds and why I 399 00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:46,730 chose them for this study first of all 400 00:17:51,610 --> 00:17:49,310 they're nearby so so proximity is 401 00:17:55,570 --> 00:17:51,620 helpful the Large Magellanic Clouds 402 00:17:58,750 --> 00:17:55,580 about 50 kiloparsecs away the small 403 00:18:00,790 --> 00:17:58,760 Magellanic Clouds about 60 and you 404 00:18:03,010 --> 00:18:00,800 multiply that by kind of 3.3 to get 405 00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:03,020 light-years but if you can ever go to 406 00:18:06,670 --> 00:18:05,000 the southern hemisphere you can see the 407 00:18:08,110 --> 00:18:06,680 Magellanic Clouds with your own eye at 408 00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:08,120 night it's quite a sight they're 409 00:18:14,820 --> 00:18:12,350 beautiful visions to see the Large 410 00:18:17,890 --> 00:18:14,830 Magellanic Cloud which I'm going to be 411 00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:17,900 because I am affiliated with NASA I love 412 00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:19,670 acronyms so I'm going to call it LM C 413 00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:21,920 for Large Magellanic Clouds it's kind of 414 00:18:24,490 --> 00:18:23,420 nearly face on remember that first 415 00:18:27,670 --> 00:18:24,500 picture I showed you is kind of 416 00:18:29,470 --> 00:18:27,680 disc-like so it's nearly face on and the 417 00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:29,480 combination of both these things the 418 00:18:33,690 --> 00:18:31,220 fact that they're kind of close by and 419 00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:33,700 the LM scene particulars kind of face on 420 00:18:40,330 --> 00:18:37,360 you can separate the stars from the 421 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:40,340 interstellar clouds and then watch their 422 00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,530 in monitor their interaction between 423 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:44,240 each other because you can separate them 424 00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:47,210 and because it's nearly face-on you can 425 00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:48,680 kind of look at a dust cloud and say 426 00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:50,240 well I think it's really associated with 427 00:18:55,570 --> 00:18:51,740 this gas cloud and stuff so there's a 428 00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:55,580 lot of clarity and information you can 429 00:19:00,640 --> 00:18:58,490 get from these from these systems now 430 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:00,650 the Magellanic Clouds are I've been 431 00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:02,210 interested for a lot of reasons 432 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:04,120 throughout the the history of astronomy 433 00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:06,410 they're sort of a stepping stone between 434 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:09,880 galactic and extra galactic studies 435 00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:13,130 they're mean metallicity which means how 436 00:19:19,930 --> 00:19:15,740 many metals and metals is anything 437 00:19:23,470 --> 00:19:19,940 heavier than helium really is the LMC 438 00:19:26,050 --> 00:19:23,480 it's about 1/2 solar so it's less half 439 00:19:28,270 --> 00:19:26,060 half of the metallicity of our own Sun 440 00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:28,280 in our own solar system and the small 441 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:30,470 Magellanic Cloud is 0.2 times that's 442 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:33,710 sort of 1/5 so it's less and this 443 00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:35,990 metallicity is interesting because the 444 00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:39,320 is Emer the interstellar medium in the 445 00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:42,740 universe had a in in galaxies in the 446 00:19:49,450 --> 00:19:45,380 universe had a peak star formation epoch 447 00:19:50,670 --> 00:19:49,460 and a Z about 1.5 but the mean 448 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:50,680 mentallity the Magellanic 449 00:19:55,980 --> 00:19:54,400 is actually brackets what happened 450 00:19:58,650 --> 00:19:55,990 during the peak star formation effect so 451 00:20:00,240 --> 00:19:58,660 if you study sort of the Astrophysical 452 00:20:01,530 --> 00:20:00,250 processes in the Magellanic Clouds you 453 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:01,540 might get some insight of what was 454 00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:03,490 happening during this major event in our 455 00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:06,670 universe of star formation and then the 456 00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:09,520 dust content that is what we call the 457 00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:13,780 dust to gas ratio is lower than our own 458 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:17,350 galaxy again about half the Milky of the 459 00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:20,650 Milky Way's dust content and for the SMC 460 00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:25,030 it's about a tenth and then some other 461 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:26,950 interesting aspects to the large and 462 00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:29,440 small Magellanic Cloud have known tidal 463 00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:31,150 interactions between each other there 464 00:20:38,190 --> 00:20:35,440 they're a pair and possibly the Milky 465 00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:38,200 Way and they've had a very long history 466 00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:40,750 of studies of all sorts of studies 467 00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:42,370 they've been a proving ground for lots 468 00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:44,620 of studies I mean for example the whole 469 00:20:48,690 --> 00:20:46,600 thing is cepheid's relation which people 470 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:48,700 use for distance indicators that was 471 00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:50,170 first established in the Magellanic 472 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:53,470 Clouds and so for a member of reasons 473 00:21:03,900 --> 00:20:56,770 this is sort of an ideal case study for 474 00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:03,910 galaxy evolution alright so what I did 475 00:21:09,450 --> 00:21:07,420 is I led to large surveys and the work 476 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:09,460 I'm showing is actually from a team of 477 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:11,650 sort of over a hundred scientists 478 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:15,490 worldwide but I helped I helped organize 479 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:18,400 the effort with Spitzer we call that 480 00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:20,350 surveying the agents of galaxy evolution 481 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:22,270 the agents are the stars in the 482 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:24,850 interstellar medium that really create 483 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:27,250 the environment and we also called it 484 00:21:30,780 --> 00:21:29,050 the Herschel inventory of the agents of 485 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:30,790 galaxy evolution so we call them sage 486 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:34,690 and heritage and what we have here are 487 00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:36,730 what we call spectral energy 488 00:21:41,130 --> 00:21:38,500 distributions so this is sort of the 489 00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:41,140 energy or flux coming out of the galaxy 490 00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:44,110 on the y-axis and on the x-axis we have 491 00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:45,910 the wavelength in microns because 492 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:47,830 infrared astronomers like myself like to 493 00:21:55,470 --> 00:21:53,440 think about microns this is ten a 494 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,480 hundred a thousand and then kind of 495 00:22:01,710 --> 00:21:58,240 shaded in here is the range over which 496 00:22:04,350 --> 00:22:01,720 the Spitzer Space Observatory covered so 497 00:22:06,030 --> 00:22:04,360 it goes all the way from there to there 498 00:22:08,340 --> 00:22:06,040 and Hershel covers from here to there 499 00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:08,350 and so together you actually get the 500 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:11,200 whole thing yeah if you get a little bit 501 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:13,090 of the stars but the whole thing about 502 00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:15,760 the dust you get the warm dust with 503 00:22:19,740 --> 00:22:18,280 Spitzer with Herschel you get the colder 504 00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:19,750 dust you get the whole complete picture 505 00:22:23,490 --> 00:22:21,640 with it and what I'm going to talk to 506 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:23,500 you about is the complete picture that 507 00:22:31,289 --> 00:22:26,650 we're learning from these these 508 00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:31,299 observations so this this image here I 509 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:32,920 like this image because it kind of shows 510 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:36,130 that whole lot dust lifecycle with the 511 00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:39,010 three colors so this is from Spitzer 512 00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:41,350 sage of the Large Magellanic Cloud and 513 00:22:47,310 --> 00:22:44,740 in purple here this is from the Spitzer 514 00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:47,320 Iraq camera at three point six microns 515 00:22:51,810 --> 00:22:49,270 and you can see all this blue here you 516 00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:51,820 can see kind of a faint glow of a bar 517 00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:53,679 and if you look in the optical the bar 518 00:22:59,549 --> 00:22:57,130 is very prominent but here it's it's a 519 00:23:03,299 --> 00:22:59,559 little fainter compared to the other 520 00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:03,309 dust things but here what we're tracing 521 00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:05,830 here is what I call the old stellar 522 00:23:10,049 --> 00:23:08,350 population the the old and dying stars 523 00:23:12,990 --> 00:23:10,059 and these are the stars remember that 524 00:23:16,169 --> 00:23:13,000 are producing the origin of dust so this 525 00:23:18,659 --> 00:23:16,179 blue glow here is sort of where lots of 526 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:18,669 dust is originating from and then in 527 00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:21,970 green is sort of a tracer of the dust in 528 00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:24,190 the interstellar medium itself so that's 529 00:23:30,690 --> 00:23:27,370 the is M processing growth destruction 530 00:23:33,810 --> 00:23:30,700 that's the I rec eat micron emission and 531 00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:33,820 then in bright red here this is this 532 00:23:38,970 --> 00:23:36,040 MEPs 24 micron camera that's picks up 533 00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:38,980 sort of hot spots where massive stars 534 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:40,990 are being formed in this galaxy and so 535 00:23:48,180 --> 00:23:43,210 this is one image kind of shows this 536 00:23:49,710 --> 00:23:48,190 whole life cycle now just to show you a 537 00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:49,720 compliment I'm going to be showing 538 00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:51,640 pictures of the SMC and the ellison this 539 00:23:56,220 --> 00:23:53,470 is the small magellanic cloud this is 540 00:23:58,610 --> 00:23:56,230 the Herschel heritage image and and 541 00:24:00,810 --> 00:23:58,620 Herschel remember all we're seeing is 542 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:00,820 sort of dust emission from the 543 00:24:05,130 --> 00:24:02,410 interstellar medium that second pump 544 00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:05,140 it's all interstellar medium dust and 545 00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:06,790 you can see some brighter spots sort of 546 00:24:14,430 --> 00:24:09,760 where the dust is warmer redder spots 547 00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:14,440 were it's it's cooler all right so let's 548 00:24:18,220 --> 00:24:17,110 go back to our problem at him about why 549 00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:18,230 do galaxies have 550 00:24:24,190 --> 00:24:21,350 dust so this is first of all I we might 551 00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:24,200 we ask the question and how much dust 552 00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:25,880 are we talking about I mean how much do 553 00:24:31,260 --> 00:24:28,070 we actually need to keep there per 554 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:31,270 galaxies to have dust well in the LMC 555 00:24:37,690 --> 00:24:35,450 it's 7.3 times plus or minus 1 times 10 556 00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:37,700 to the 5 solar masses of dust over the 557 00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:40,790 whole galaxy so that's how much dust is 558 00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:42,740 in this galaxy and this life cycle in 559 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:44,750 some sense has to maintain our balance 560 00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:47,810 to keep it and in a small Magellanic 561 00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:51,350 Cloud it's less everything is smaller in 562 00:24:55,690 --> 00:24:53,720 the small Magellanic Cloud it's 8.3 plus 563 00:24:58,060 --> 00:24:55,700 minus one times 10 to the 4 so it's 564 00:24:59,740 --> 00:24:58,070 about a factor of 10 and everything 565 00:25:02,890 --> 00:24:59,750 about the small Magellanic Clouds about 566 00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:02,900 a factor of 10 smaller than the Large 567 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:06,200 Magellanic Cloud all right let's go back 568 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:09,050 to this life cycle of deaths and I want 569 00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:11,570 to show you what we've learned from 570 00:25:15,670 --> 00:25:13,520 these from these surveys over the past 571 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:15,680 gosh almost 10 years I started this 572 00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:20,090 about 10 years ago and first we're gonna 573 00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:23,510 start off with the origin of dust so 574 00:25:27,370 --> 00:25:25,160 where does this come from what have we 575 00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:27,380 learn from these surveys that tell us 576 00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:31,340 about how dust is produced and polluting 577 00:25:35,950 --> 00:25:33,980 the galaxies so first I'm going to talk 578 00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:35,960 about asymptotic giant branch stores eg 579 00:25:40,150 --> 00:25:38,390 B stars and this is my favorite picture 580 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:40,160 of an Ag bestir it's actually from one 581 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:41,810 of the hottest new observatories the 582 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:44,090 Alma Observatory the radio Observatory 583 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:47,330 in the southern hemisphere in Chile and 584 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:49,850 it just shows it looks kind of circular 585 00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:51,530 but there's also a spiral pattern and 586 00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:54,980 it's just puffing out the dust I'm along 587 00:26:01,510 --> 00:25:59,120 with molecular gas in this star in 588 00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:01,520 addition to the egb stars a more massive 589 00:26:07,390 --> 00:26:04,910 star things that go boom and explode is 590 00:26:11,050 --> 00:26:07,400 a red supergiant and this is a Hubble 591 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:11,060 image of V Y Canis Majoris showing sort 592 00:26:16,150 --> 00:26:14,210 of the heart of it in reflected and all 593 00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:16,160 this light here is basically starlight 594 00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:17,990 reflected in the dust by the dust 595 00:26:27,550 --> 00:26:23,600 surrounding this star alright so in the 596 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:27,560 large LMC and small Magellanic Cloud we 597 00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:30,290 had to identify which of the stars are 598 00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:33,740 actually dust producers and we do that 599 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:35,870 using these diagrams called 600 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:38,450 color-magnitude diagram and so what this 601 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:40,850 is is we measure the flux every star in 602 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:44,210 the galaxy and then we plot that flux 603 00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:48,890 used this system astronomer system 604 00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:50,900 called magnitudes and so this is 8 605 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:54,860 micron emission in magnitudes and this 606 00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,410 is the color so this is j-man so this is 607 00:27:01,480 --> 00:26:59,840 about 1 micron minus 8 microns and so as 608 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:01,490 you go to the right you're getting to a 609 00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:04,610 redder and redder star and as you go up 610 00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:06,470 I'm you're getting to a brighter 611 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:11,180 brighter star and the pattern of this 612 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:13,970 contour is sort of the location a sort 613 00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:16,970 of a density plot of all the stars in 614 00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:18,830 these respective galaxies and what we've 615 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:20,420 identified here there are all sorts of 616 00:27:24,550 --> 00:27:22,370 features there structure in this contour 617 00:27:27,910 --> 00:27:24,560 plot and that structure is actually 618 00:27:30,970 --> 00:27:27,920 different types and types of objects red 619 00:27:34,180 --> 00:27:30,980 supergiant I'm sorry red supergiant's 620 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:34,190 and the egb stars are there in that but 621 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:35,840 there's a lot of other things and so the 622 00:27:40,540 --> 00:27:38,210 first tack job is to find out and 623 00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:40,550 identify those sources that are the AGB 624 00:27:47,710 --> 00:27:45,370 stars in the red supergiant's and then 625 00:27:49,570 --> 00:27:47,720 and then you have to sort of model how 626 00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:49,580 much dust is around them and for that 627 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:53,150 because we have all the measurements for 628 00:27:57,070 --> 00:27:55,010 the dust is we can again create a 629 00:28:00,430 --> 00:27:57,080 spectral energy distribution for every 630 00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:00,440 star in the galaxy every AGB star again 631 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:02,600 this is how much flux or energy that's 632 00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:04,730 coming out versus wavelength there's 1 633 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:08,780 to 10 microns and this is a case of a an 634 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:11,120 oxygen-rich source and how do we know 635 00:28:18,670 --> 00:28:14,530 it's oxygen-rich we look at its spectrum 636 00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:18,680 and what we've I call this thing grams 637 00:28:23,530 --> 00:28:21,800 because to calculate all the dusts in 638 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:23,540 all these stars there were a lot of 639 00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:25,490 stars there like tens of thousands of 640 00:28:29,770 --> 00:28:28,160 them so we created a grid of red 641 00:28:32,530 --> 00:28:29,780 supergiant asymptotic giant branch 642 00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:32,540 models we call them grams because we 643 00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:36,080 were weighing to dust and we use this 644 00:28:40,930 --> 00:28:38,420 particular source to figure out the type 645 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:40,940 of dust and so this spectrum there's a 646 00:28:47,250 --> 00:28:43,090 little feature here and there and this 647 00:28:48,990 --> 00:28:47,260 indicative of silicates in the star so 648 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:49,000 you can take a spectrum of silicates 649 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:50,530 turn around galaxy you would see the 650 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:52,000 same it's already in our own 651 00:28:55,380 --> 00:28:53,530 laboratories and you see these features 652 00:29:00,240 --> 00:28:55,390 and so we know it's silicates from the 653 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:00,250 spectrum and then we model the energy in 654 00:29:05,970 --> 00:29:03,250 silicates here and from that modeling we 655 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:05,980 can determine the luminosity of the star 656 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:08,530 and what we call a dust mask loss rate 657 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:10,690 and so this is the luminosity so it's 658 00:29:14,190 --> 00:29:12,370 five thousand eighty eight times the 659 00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:14,200 luminosity of our Sun it's much much 660 00:29:19,890 --> 00:29:16,390 more luminous than our Sun and our Sun 661 00:29:22,410 --> 00:29:19,900 will get this luminous when it dies and 662 00:29:24,810 --> 00:29:22,420 then this is the amount of dust it's 663 00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:24,820 producing per year this one star two 664 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:28,870 times ten to the minus nine per year all 665 00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:29,200 right 666 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:32,320 so that was the very nitrogen rich start 667 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:34,450 where does carbon dust come from things 668 00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:37,090 like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 669 00:29:42,450 --> 00:29:40,360 and carbonaceous dust and soot that 670 00:29:45,780 --> 00:29:42,460 comes from things called carbon stars 671 00:29:47,970 --> 00:29:45,790 and a carbon star again is an asymptotic 672 00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:47,980 giant branch star in which the innards 673 00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:51,160 of the star has turned out enough to 674 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:53,020 change the chemistry on the surface of 675 00:29:56,940 --> 00:29:54,970 the star from oxygen-rich which is 676 00:30:00,240 --> 00:29:56,950 pretty much what the universe is to 677 00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:00,250 something carbonaceous and we know that 678 00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:02,320 these stars have carbonaceous dust 679 00:30:05,910 --> 00:30:04,270 because they're mostly features except 680 00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:05,920 there's a little feature here from a 681 00:30:12,570 --> 00:30:09,670 silicon carbide feature si si and so 682 00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:12,580 again we used grams and we modeled what 683 00:30:18,690 --> 00:30:15,550 is coming from the star with a spectral 684 00:30:20,550 --> 00:30:18,700 energy distribution and we find out that 685 00:30:23,250 --> 00:30:20,560 it's also over five thousand solar 686 00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:23,260 luminosities and it's about 2.6 times 687 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:26,520 minus nine solar masses of dust per year 688 00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:29,170 all right so those are two example stars 689 00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:31,990 and the types of dust that we get from 690 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:36,670 them but again we have like thousands 691 00:30:41,370 --> 00:30:38,770 tens of thousands 30 thousands of these 692 00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:41,380 stars and so what we did was we created 693 00:30:46,050 --> 00:30:44,020 this grid and this is a representation 694 00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:46,060 of the grid on a color magnitude diagram 695 00:30:53,220 --> 00:30:50,070 of the eight versus three point six 696 00:30:56,290 --> 00:30:53,230 minus eight and in grayer all the models 697 00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:56,300 we created and then in blue 698 00:31:00,820 --> 00:30:57,920 are all the sources in the large 699 00:31:04,570 --> 00:31:00,830 magellanic cloud so blue is where all 700 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:04,580 the LMC oxygen-rich sources are and in 701 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:07,010 red are the carbon rich sources because 702 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:09,290 there's two types of dust carbonaceous 703 00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:14,240 and silica based dust and they all go 704 00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:19,760 out all right so what are the things 705 00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:21,200 that we've learned about these stars 706 00:31:27,370 --> 00:31:25,160 well I mentioned the oxygen rich sources 707 00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:27,380 the carbon rich sources and then this 708 00:31:32,790 --> 00:31:30,140 shows in some sense the luminosity 709 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:32,800 function I was telling you that we have 710 00:31:37,030 --> 00:31:35,450 sources that are 5000 solar luminosities 711 00:31:41,950 --> 00:31:37,040 we have some that are even greater than 712 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:41,960 that so in the purple the blue here is 713 00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:44,960 the oxygen rich sources and the solid 714 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:47,390 line the SMC it's been scaled up but 715 00:31:54,130 --> 00:31:50,480 that's for the SMC and again for the LMC 716 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,140 we have the red solid line for the 717 00:31:58,060 --> 00:31:56,000 carbon sources and the dashed line for 718 00:32:00,310 --> 00:31:58,070 thee for the SMC and then what I've 719 00:32:03,790 --> 00:32:00,320 shown here is sort of a it's a dashed 720 00:32:05,410 --> 00:32:03,800 line of the separating what we call the 721 00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:05,420 eg B or the asymptotic giant branch 722 00:32:11,710 --> 00:32:08,390 stars from the red supergiant's and this 723 00:32:13,450 --> 00:32:11,720 is important because these types of 724 00:32:15,070 --> 00:32:13,460 stars on the right are the stars that 725 00:32:17,530 --> 00:32:15,080 explode as supernovae those are the 726 00:32:22,210 --> 00:32:17,540 massive stars that explode whereas those 727 00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:22,220 on the left are the ones that are going 728 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:25,520 to die quietly like like white dwarfs 729 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:28,130 and planetary nebulae and one point I 730 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:29,810 want to make here is that you can see 731 00:32:36,370 --> 00:32:34,130 that the carbonaceous winds only come 732 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:36,380 from the AGB stars red supergiant's 733 00:32:42,130 --> 00:32:39,890 don't turn up carbon so a lot of people 734 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:42,140 think a lot of the carbonaceous dust in 735 00:32:50,350 --> 00:32:44,690 the universe comes from stars like our 736 00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:50,360 Sun when they die alright so we've 737 00:32:54,550 --> 00:32:52,760 applied these grams models through all 738 00:32:56,650 --> 00:32:54,560 the populations in the Large Magellanic 739 00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:56,660 Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud and it 740 00:33:02,440 --> 00:32:58,250 said okay well how much dust are we 741 00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,450 producing so this is what on the y axis 742 00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:04,640 we call cumulative dust production rate 743 00:33:09,850 --> 00:33:07,760 in solar masses per year so this is ten 744 00:33:14,169 --> 00:33:09,860 the minus five solar masses 745 00:33:17,650 --> 00:33:14,179 - six and what I show here in the black 746 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:17,660 are all the sources in the LMC red is 747 00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:21,410 again carbon sources blue it's oxygen 748 00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:24,110 rich sources and again you can see the 749 00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:26,990 SMC is smaller than the LMC by a factor 750 00:33:32,530 --> 00:33:30,710 of 10 just to show you what some of the 751 00:33:35,289 --> 00:33:32,540 numbers are concrete ly so there have 752 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:35,299 been a couple of papers by former 753 00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:38,570 students of mine one by RIBA where he 754 00:33:43,570 --> 00:33:40,910 says the total dust produced in the LMC 755 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:43,580 now by these stars the stellar winds is 756 00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:45,919 2.1 times in the mines five solar masses 757 00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:49,809 per year it's quite a lot and the SMC 758 00:33:55,210 --> 00:33:53,120 it's about eight point nine times ten to 759 00:33:58,870 --> 00:33:55,220 the minus seven solar masses per year 760 00:34:02,020 --> 00:33:58,880 and then what is the breakdown so in the 761 00:34:04,090 --> 00:34:02,030 LMC it seems to be dominated by carbon 762 00:34:05,890 --> 00:34:04,100 rich dust production so we have more 763 00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:05,900 carbon rich dust being produced by these 764 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:09,200 stars than the oxygen rich dust and the 765 00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:14,090 S&C it seems to be more 5050 and then 766 00:34:18,700 --> 00:34:15,919 when you look at the oxygen rich dusts 767 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:18,710 remember you can have sort of the lower 768 00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:20,690 mass stars like the AGB stars in the red 769 00:34:27,820 --> 00:34:24,320 supergiant's so the red supergiant's 770 00:34:29,740 --> 00:34:27,830 it's only about 9% in the LMC and the 771 00:34:34,659 --> 00:34:29,750 SMC it seems to be about half and half 772 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:34,669 25% red supergiant 25% a GB so you kind 773 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:36,169 of look at the red supergiant scene 774 00:34:39,700 --> 00:34:38,210 you're thinking well the massive stars 775 00:34:41,530 --> 00:34:39,710 really aren't doing very much it seems 776 00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:41,540 to be all these kind of lower mass solar 777 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:50,349 okay this is okay but the truth is maybe 778 00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:52,609 things happen later in the massive 779 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:56,000 star's life and it turns out that as the 780 00:35:01,450 --> 00:34:58,400 massive star gets closer to death it has 781 00:35:03,340 --> 00:35:01,460 more phases than the lower mass stars so 782 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:03,350 this for example is what's called a 783 00:35:07,210 --> 00:35:04,850 luminous blue variable and this is the 784 00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:07,220 iconic one from the Hubble image of a to 785 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:10,280 Carina this is not in the LMC but there 786 00:35:14,770 --> 00:35:12,170 are objects like that in the LMC and 787 00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:14,780 this is one of the more famous luminous 788 00:35:20,020 --> 00:35:17,470 blue variable objects r71 789 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:20,030 it has a dust mask of eight times to the 790 00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:22,130 minus seven solar masses per year and 791 00:35:26,530 --> 00:35:23,510 there are five 792 00:35:28,330 --> 00:35:26,540 BB's in the SMC and it's possible that 793 00:35:30,430 --> 00:35:28,340 if all of them each of them have that 794 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:30,440 much dust production you actually get a 795 00:35:35,020 --> 00:35:32,930 pretty hefty amount of dust coming from 796 00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:35,030 these lb B's four times ten minus six 797 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:39,350 solar masses per year but you know it 798 00:35:52,839 --> 00:35:43,370 turns out that see if I can get this to 799 00:35:59,529 --> 00:35:55,809 here we go turns out that the mass of 800 00:36:03,670 --> 00:35:59,539 stars really do produce a lot of dust 801 00:36:18,890 --> 00:36:03,680 and when it happens those at the very 802 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:22,370 so Frank's talk about the heart of the 803 00:36:28,460 --> 00:36:26,400 Crab Nebula this is sort of a movie 804 00:36:30,380 --> 00:36:28,470 version of how that Crab Nebula was was 805 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:30,390 created it's basically a star exploding 806 00:36:37,580 --> 00:36:34,050 in and dying and one of the largest 807 00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:37,590 surprises for us in the Magellanic Cloud 808 00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:39,720 search was that we actually detected 809 00:36:45,830 --> 00:36:43,590 dustin87 a it was pretty much a 810 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:45,840 discovery I mean in it that people are 811 00:36:51,770 --> 00:36:48,330 rapidly following up on so this is 812 00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:51,780 supernova 1987a this is a Hubble image 813 00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:53,910 of it it's still the manager by Hubble 814 00:37:01,730 --> 00:36:58,170 and it Hubble launched shortly after you 815 00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:01,740 know this thing exploded and this is a 816 00:37:06,590 --> 00:37:04,590 picture of the field and Hubble and this 817 00:37:10,850 --> 00:37:06,600 is a picture of our Herschel heritage 818 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:10,860 image and we found it and I remember the 819 00:37:15,140 --> 00:37:13,170 phone conversation when we were trying 820 00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:15,150 to pick follow-up sources of supernova 821 00:37:19,610 --> 00:37:17,730 remnants to follow up on with the 822 00:37:22,250 --> 00:37:19,620 spectroscopy capability of Herschel and 823 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:22,260 a postdoc was going through and she says 824 00:37:28,310 --> 00:37:26,370 oh we have and 49 that's like yeah ok n 825 00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:28,320 1 3 2 is like ok that's exciting and we 826 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:30,630 have 87 I said well hold it there we 827 00:37:34,340 --> 00:37:32,250 don't have 87 me we're not supposed to 828 00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:34,350 see it she says well I'm sorry but we 829 00:37:42,140 --> 00:37:36,960 see it and I was like ok well that's 830 00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:42,150 very very interesting and the 831 00:37:48,110 --> 00:37:44,190 interesting thing about it is here we 832 00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:48,120 have a close-up of 87a here's the ring 833 00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:50,670 this ring was created by the prior 834 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:51,900 remember I was talking about the stellar 835 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:53,610 winds and the red supergiant's creating 836 00:37:58,930 --> 00:37:55,530 those winds that material drifts out 837 00:38:02,600 --> 00:37:58,940 that's what the ring is it's that prior 838 00:38:05,060 --> 00:38:02,610 progenitor star wind and at the heart of 839 00:38:08,330 --> 00:38:05,070 it is the ejecta so this is the exploded 840 00:38:10,610 --> 00:38:08,340 star and this is the star from the prior 841 00:38:16,130 --> 00:38:10,620 wind and here it is in x-rays as well 842 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:16,140 and when we were proposing to observe 843 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:20,010 the LMC with Herschel we said well can 844 00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:21,690 we see 80 70 because it's such a famous 845 00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:23,250 object if we can see it we should tell 846 00:38:27,470 --> 00:38:25,260 them we're gonna see it and at the time 847 00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:27,480 this is what we knew ok well here is you 848 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:29,310 know here's what we got with spitzer and 849 00:38:32,070 --> 00:38:31,410 spitzer went up and then up Spitzer's 850 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:32,080 came down 851 00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:35,210 and so we said well you follow this line 852 00:38:38,470 --> 00:38:37,070 down again this is one of these spectral 853 00:38:40,990 --> 00:38:38,480 energy distribution where you have the 854 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:41,000 amount of energy and wavelength and you 855 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:42,650 keep going down and well here's where 856 00:38:46,810 --> 00:38:44,450 Herschel started and we were on this 857 00:38:49,450 --> 00:38:46,820 yellow I was like there is no way we're 858 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:49,460 going to detect this object and so when 859 00:38:55,090 --> 00:38:51,650 we detected it we're like wow what is 860 00:38:57,370 --> 00:38:55,100 this and so what it is is you can see 861 00:39:01,110 --> 00:38:57,380 sort of two peaks of dust the ring dust 862 00:39:04,270 --> 00:39:01,120 we said this has got to be in the ejecta 863 00:39:07,540 --> 00:39:04,280 with it the ejecta really well you know 864 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:07,550 how much dust would you need to create 865 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:10,690 this much emission in the floor infrared 866 00:39:16,420 --> 00:39:14,570 and it turns out it's about 0.4 to 0.7 867 00:39:18,190 --> 00:39:16,430 solar masses of dust and there's a large 868 00:39:20,650 --> 00:39:18,200 uncertainty because we don't know the 869 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,660 composition of this dust yet that's 870 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:22,400 actually something I hope to tackle with 871 00:39:27,730 --> 00:39:25,370 James Webb that's a lot of dust I mean 872 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:27,740 no one has ever seen that much dust in a 873 00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:29,570 supernova remnant before most of the 874 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:31,160 dust people see is like 10 to minus 875 00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:33,410 three solar masses of dust from prior 876 00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:35,030 measurements so this was really really 877 00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:38,240 quite remarkable and we published it in 878 00:39:42,430 --> 00:39:40,190 science and people got all excited but 879 00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:42,440 they kind of said look you know you got 880 00:39:46,780 --> 00:39:44,240 some kind of fluff there you really you 881 00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:46,790 know you don't have the resolution you 882 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:48,710 know I don't think it's I don't think 883 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:51,200 it's a supernova you're like okay okay 884 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:52,730 we're gonna go look at it with this hot 885 00:39:58,690 --> 00:39:55,130 new telescope called Alma and we're 886 00:40:01,450 --> 00:39:58,700 gonna measure from the ring emission to 887 00:40:03,670 --> 00:40:01,460 dust and see if it's there we think it's 888 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:03,680 going to be there so but they got the 889 00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:06,770 time and this is what it looked like 890 00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:08,480 going it from these longer wavelengths 891 00:40:12,970 --> 00:40:10,730 so this is really trust testing they 892 00:40:16,510 --> 00:40:12,980 were finding the ring emission there's a 893 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:16,520 lot of synchrotron emission and then as 894 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:20,570 you go to the shorter wavelengths you 895 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:22,490 get more into the dust emission you can 896 00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:24,800 see well there's a ring and hold it 897 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:26,420 there's something in the center and when 898 00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:28,370 you go to the highest line it's in the 899 00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:30,110 center and so this very clearly it 900 00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:31,730 silenced all the critics they said oh 901 00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:33,950 yeah gosh you do have a lot of dust 902 00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:35,840 there and all the theorists are running 903 00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:38,320 madly around trying to figure out why 904 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:42,110 all right so that's the story of of dust 905 00:40:45,700 --> 00:40:44,450 of dust production so let's talk a 906 00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:45,710 little bit about 907 00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:47,540 what happens when these dust grains go 908 00:40:54,370 --> 00:40:51,710 out into the interstellar medium all 909 00:40:57,849 --> 00:40:54,380 right so here's a supernova remnant in 910 00:41:00,760 --> 00:40:57,859 the Large Magellanic Cloud and 49 this 911 00:41:03,310 --> 00:41:00,770 is a beautiful composite HST glorious 912 00:41:08,349 --> 00:41:03,320 detail with Chandra in the blue because 913 00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:08,359 it's a hot plasma and so because of the 914 00:41:12,070 --> 00:41:10,670 87 a discovery there's a student at 915 00:41:13,599 --> 00:41:12,080 Keele what she said well I'm gonna look 916 00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:13,609 around at all the supernova remnants to 917 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:15,230 see if they have dust in them and so she 918 00:41:20,050 --> 00:41:18,290 looked and here's n 49 and these plots 919 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:20,060 these color plots I'm showing you here 920 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:24,290 is her study showing on the left here 921 00:41:28,599 --> 00:41:27,290 this is dust mass and on the right this 922 00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:28,609 is dust temperature so it's like a 923 00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:31,880 little map around and 49 which is in the 924 00:41:37,890 --> 00:41:37,040 circle here and on the top is cold sort 925 00:41:40,570 --> 00:41:37,900 of cold dust 926 00:41:44,290 --> 00:41:40,580 this is warm dust those two components 927 00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:44,300 she she modeled and so here at the 928 00:41:48,310 --> 00:41:45,980 center you can see that well on coal 929 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:48,320 dust there's doesn't really seem to be 930 00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:51,680 much there there seems to be some warm 931 00:42:00,750 --> 00:41:56,720 dust some mass and warm dust and and 932 00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:00,760 here again this is cold and this is warm 933 00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:02,990 but really when she looked at all the 934 00:42:06,609 --> 00:42:04,640 whole samples she really did not find 935 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:06,619 much dust at the center of these things 936 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:09,410 and some of that is could be a limit to 937 00:42:15,010 --> 00:42:12,290 the sensitivity for Herschel and mostly 938 00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:15,020 what she measured then was what happened 939 00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:18,260 to the surrounding part and she found 940 00:42:21,579 --> 00:42:20,150 that really well gosh these supernovae 941 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:21,589 room knows as they go out they're really 942 00:42:26,349 --> 00:42:23,570 destroying the dust and so her paper 943 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:26,359 showed that there's some dust 944 00:42:31,329 --> 00:42:29,330 destruction and then we did a slightly 945 00:42:33,099 --> 00:42:31,339 more rigorous calculation on the 946 00:42:35,050 --> 00:42:33,109 supernova remnants in large magellanic 947 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:35,060 cloud here's all of them in the in the 948 00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:43,330 red circles and this is sort of the 949 00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:46,040 amount of dust that's destroyed by them 950 00:42:50,290 --> 00:42:47,510 so this is the number of supernova 951 00:42:52,030 --> 00:42:50,300 remnants and this is how effectively 952 00:42:53,859 --> 00:42:52,040 they are destroying the carbonaceous 953 00:42:55,730 --> 00:42:53,869 stuff in the interstellar medium or the 954 00:42:57,500 --> 00:42:55,740 silicate dust and 955 00:42:59,240 --> 00:42:57,510 or seller medium you can see that the 956 00:43:03,410 --> 00:42:59,250 silica dust is actually more readily 957 00:43:05,359 --> 00:43:03,420 destroyed than the carbonaceous dust in 958 00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:05,369 fact you can kind of figure out what is 959 00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:07,440 the average lifetime for dust grains so 960 00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:09,180 these stars produce the dust and they 961 00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:10,560 kind of hover out in the interstellar 962 00:43:16,220 --> 00:43:13,440 medium how long can they possibly last 963 00:43:18,650 --> 00:43:16,230 given all these supernovae in them and 964 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:18,660 remnant sweeping through so this is dust 965 00:43:23,420 --> 00:43:21,690 lifetime this is a parameter sort of how 966 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:23,430 effective the LMC along the line of 967 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:26,490 sight this is the LM seeing the SMC so 968 00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:28,290 to get a dust lifetime you say well how 969 00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:29,940 much is the total mass of dust and now 970 00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:31,260 there was the number I gave you at the 971 00:43:34,970 --> 00:43:32,640 beginning of this talk how much is the 972 00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:34,980 total mass in the in the galaxy of dust 973 00:43:40,690 --> 00:43:37,680 and then what is the average amount of 974 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:40,700 dust destroyed per supernova remnant 975 00:43:44,450 --> 00:43:42,480 that comes from a theoretical 976 00:43:46,099 --> 00:43:44,460 calculation and then this is the rate of 977 00:43:47,540 --> 00:43:46,109 supernovae which is just sort of the 978 00:43:51,290 --> 00:43:47,550 rate at which stars are formed at a 979 00:43:53,420 --> 00:43:51,300 massive mess that can explode and when 980 00:43:56,570 --> 00:43:53,430 you get in the LMC is that well silica 981 00:44:00,500 --> 00:43:56,580 dust grains can only live 26 to 42 982 00:44:04,310 --> 00:44:00,510 million years really really short I mean 983 00:44:11,089 --> 00:44:04,320 remember how old is our Sun anyone know 984 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:11,099 that billions five billion right and 985 00:44:16,310 --> 00:44:12,690 it's gonna get it's gonna get up to ten 986 00:44:18,290 --> 00:44:16,320 billion before it dies so here's 42 987 00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:18,300 million so a lot lot shorter than that 988 00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:23,160 than the lifetime of one of our stars so 989 00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:26,760 so dust is destroyed in the interstellar 990 00:44:35,390 --> 00:44:30,000 medium and the question is do we have 991 00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:35,400 any evidence that it grows back and here 992 00:44:39,859 --> 00:44:38,609 we've been looking at maps of dusty gas 993 00:44:41,810 --> 00:44:39,869 eration so we're using the Herschel 994 00:44:44,210 --> 00:44:41,820 images or figuring and we get a total 995 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:44,220 map of the dust I showed you that at the 996 00:44:47,870 --> 00:44:46,650 beginning and my colleague Julie Roman 997 00:44:51,140 --> 00:44:47,880 de balón said okay well I'm going to 998 00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:51,150 compare it to the gas and look at how 999 00:44:58,430 --> 00:44:56,250 the gas to dust ratio that's N and here 1000 00:45:00,770 --> 00:44:58,440 in the SMC in particular you can see 1001 00:45:03,410 --> 00:45:00,780 that here's here's a gas cloud that's 1002 00:45:08,089 --> 00:45:03,420 showed here in the contours and you can 1003 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:08,099 see that the gas to dust ratio appears 1004 00:45:12,819 --> 00:45:09,210 to be 1005 00:45:16,910 --> 00:45:12,829 Louis that is the amount of gas per dust 1006 00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:16,920 is lower when you get to these gas 1007 00:45:21,829 --> 00:45:20,160 clouds so just to flip that around that 1008 00:45:24,019 --> 00:45:21,839 means there's more dust 1009 00:45:29,180 --> 00:45:24,029 apparently more dust in these clouds 1010 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:29,190 than gas in these denser clouds so the 1011 00:45:32,329 --> 00:45:30,930 tricky thing is though that it's a hard 1012 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:32,339 thing to prove with these measurements 1013 00:45:35,630 --> 00:45:33,839 because they're kind of course they're 1014 00:45:37,609 --> 00:45:35,640 the measurements are you know they're 1015 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:37,619 factors of two or three and certainty 1016 00:45:43,069 --> 00:45:40,319 because we're using all these model fits 1017 00:45:44,839 --> 00:45:43,079 and stuff and so we said whoa Kay let's 1018 00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:44,849 use a more precise tool let's use 1019 00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:48,960 spectroscopy and so we another way of 1020 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:51,599 studying what we're dust is is what we 1021 00:45:56,510 --> 00:45:53,730 call metal depletion onto dust grains so 1022 00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:56,520 what is dust made of so we you know we 1023 00:46:00,019 --> 00:45:58,170 kind of think of the dust bunnies on our 1024 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:00,029 carpet but actually if you analyze those 1025 00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:02,130 maybe it would be similar but it's 1026 00:46:07,279 --> 00:46:04,950 basically anything that has metals so it 1027 00:46:10,099 --> 00:46:07,289 could be iron it could be carbon the 1028 00:46:13,430 --> 00:46:10,109 oxygen silicon all bound together in 1029 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:13,440 these complex solid features so it's 1030 00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:15,210 made of metals these have things much 1031 00:46:22,940 --> 00:46:20,880 heavier than than helium and if you look 1032 00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:22,950 along the line of sight towards a star 1033 00:46:28,130 --> 00:46:24,569 you can look in reflection and you can 1034 00:46:31,220 --> 00:46:28,140 see how much how many metals are there 1035 00:46:34,099 --> 00:46:31,230 and you can compare it to what we know 1036 00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:34,109 should be there and then the depletion 1037 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:36,390 is basically the metals that are missing 1038 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:41,130 from the interstellar medium all right 1039 00:46:44,779 --> 00:46:42,690 so let me just walk you through this a 1040 00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:44,789 bit more so here's one of the stars we 1041 00:46:49,789 --> 00:46:48,000 looked at here's a spectrum from an 1042 00:46:51,890 --> 00:46:49,799 ultraviolet spectrum so these are 1043 00:46:56,029 --> 00:46:51,900 measurements taken with Hubble and with 1044 00:46:59,599 --> 00:46:56,039 the with fuse and it shows again here's 1045 00:47:01,309 --> 00:46:59,609 wavelengths and here's here's flexes and 1046 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:01,319 you can see these dips here this is 1047 00:47:07,220 --> 00:47:04,170 absorption dips from gas and the 1048 00:47:12,380 --> 00:47:07,230 interstellar medium and its absorption 1049 00:47:15,170 --> 00:47:12,390 debts due to iron or silicon or thing 1050 00:47:17,870 --> 00:47:15,180 for magnesium or chromium and all these 1051 00:47:21,470 --> 00:47:17,880 are trace heavy metals that we use to 1052 00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:21,480 understand and trace where dust where 1053 00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:23,910 dust is forming 1054 00:47:28,789 --> 00:47:25,980 so we measured these for a number of 1055 00:47:30,859 --> 00:47:28,799 different species so this is iron and 1056 00:47:34,490 --> 00:47:30,869 silicon and zinc and chromium and 1057 00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:34,500 phosphorus this is in the SMC and we 1058 00:47:42,380 --> 00:47:39,440 plot basically how much stuff is missing 1059 00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:42,390 compared to sort of a rolled-up number 1060 00:47:48,289 --> 00:47:46,200 on that roll it up depletion so this is 1061 00:47:51,470 --> 00:47:48,299 more depletion that is you have more of 1062 00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:51,480 the metals in dust and then less 1063 00:47:57,609 --> 00:47:54,510 depletion less metals and dust and black 1064 00:48:00,920 --> 00:47:57,619 this black line here is what happens in 1065 00:48:03,079 --> 00:48:00,930 the milky way so this is comparing the 1066 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:03,089 small Magellanic Cloud to the Milky Way 1067 00:48:10,279 --> 00:48:07,770 and by summing up all this all these 1068 00:48:14,569 --> 00:48:10,289 metals that are missing you can estimate 1069 00:48:16,430 --> 00:48:14,579 gas to dust ratios from basically what's 1070 00:48:18,829 --> 00:48:16,440 missing in a in a much more precise way 1071 00:48:23,210 --> 00:48:18,839 than we can with with the maps and so 1072 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:23,220 it's a good check and so what we have 1073 00:48:29,420 --> 00:48:26,250 here is the hydrogen to dust mass ratio 1074 00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:29,430 the gas the dust ratio for the SMC the 1075 00:48:35,900 --> 00:48:33,089 LMC in the milky way and we can see that 1076 00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:35,910 it changes you have lines the sites that 1077 00:48:40,490 --> 00:48:37,950 they're things are more depleted that is 1078 00:48:42,380 --> 00:48:40,500 there's much more dust and you have 1079 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:42,390 regions that are less depleted and so 1080 00:48:47,420 --> 00:48:44,970 this is other confirmation that there 1081 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:47,430 are actually real variations of how much 1082 00:48:51,230 --> 00:48:49,680 dust is contained in different parts of 1083 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:51,240 the galaxy there's real processing out 1084 00:48:55,490 --> 00:48:53,130 there it's both destroyed by the 1085 00:48:57,019 --> 00:48:55,500 supernova remnants as I showed but then 1086 00:48:59,859 --> 00:48:57,029 also in the colder clouds it really 1087 00:49:02,120 --> 00:48:59,869 seems that they it is growing again now 1088 00:49:05,450 --> 00:49:02,130 this is shorter of evidence that that 1089 00:49:08,299 --> 00:49:05,460 exists in existence proof but we are not 1090 00:49:10,190 --> 00:49:08,309 as far along in terms of coming up with 1091 00:49:12,859 --> 00:49:10,200 a rate like I showed you nice dust 1092 00:49:15,170 --> 00:49:12,869 production rates by the Evolve stars but 1093 00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:15,180 all we've done so far but I think it's a 1094 00:49:19,730 --> 00:49:17,250 big step forward is to show that yeah 1095 00:49:21,260 --> 00:49:19,740 actually this this stuff happens we 1096 00:49:22,789 --> 00:49:21,270 don't know how fast it happens how 1097 00:49:25,819 --> 00:49:22,799 effective it is but it's certainly 1098 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:25,829 happening all right so let me go on to 1099 00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:27,690 the last loop here the young stars 1100 00:49:32,390 --> 00:49:29,940 forming the stars now in terms of the 1101 00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:32,400 life cycle of dust how this is important 1102 00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:33,920 is that the dust grains actually 1103 00:49:36,830 --> 00:49:35,520 disappear because 1104 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:36,840 when you form a star it kind of takes 1105 00:49:41,750 --> 00:49:39,450 all the gas all the dust and it makes 1106 00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:41,760 them all atoms exactly highly ionized 1107 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:45,960 atoms when it forms the star this is a 1108 00:49:50,990 --> 00:49:48,690 again a beautiful Hubble image of a 1109 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:51,000 beautiful forming or young stellar 1110 00:49:54,850 --> 00:49:53,010 object because that's what we found in 1111 00:49:57,650 --> 00:49:54,860 the Magellanic Clouds you accelerate 1112 00:50:03,170 --> 00:49:57,660 s106 showing these beautiful bipolar 1113 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:03,180 nebulas and why it's those or yang 1114 00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:04,890 stellar objects have different kinds of 1115 00:50:11,470 --> 00:50:08,910 evolutionary stages that we learn about 1116 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:11,480 and can pick up with these observatories 1117 00:50:19,610 --> 00:50:15,090 here's a young protostar mean accreting 1118 00:50:21,980 --> 00:50:19,620 phase stage zero it's basically just a 1119 00:50:24,050 --> 00:50:21,990 bunch of cloud condensing onto thing 1120 00:50:28,010 --> 00:50:24,060 it's very cold it's really only seeing 1121 00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:28,020 with Herschel so we were good at finding 1122 00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:29,520 these types of objects and then we have 1123 00:50:34,550 --> 00:50:31,830 stage one object this is sort of an 1124 00:50:37,310 --> 00:50:34,560 accreting protostar where you have a 1125 00:50:40,310 --> 00:50:37,320 disc it's getting it's turned on 1126 00:50:43,220 --> 00:50:40,320 you have been frit excesses and then 1127 00:50:45,140 --> 00:50:43,230 stage two is when basically that 1128 00:50:47,270 --> 00:50:45,150 envelope is gone but you still have this 1129 00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:47,280 disk and planets will start forming in 1130 00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:49,710 stage three which I won't be talking 1131 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,910 about at all really two or three stage 1132 00:51:00,470 --> 00:50:55,440 three is where basically you have 1133 00:51:02,740 --> 00:51:00,480 planets and and there you're seeing a 1134 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:02,750 book sort of Kuiper belt type objects 1135 00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:06,330 all right so small Magellanic Cloud 1136 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:08,040 why so Canada so again how do we find 1137 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:09,690 these so I talk to you a little bit 1138 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:12,210 these this is maybe somewhat familiar 1139 00:51:17,870 --> 00:51:14,490 we use these color-magnitude diagram yet 1140 00:51:21,980 --> 00:51:17,880 again this is eight versus eight minus 1141 00:51:25,610 --> 00:51:21,990 24 and the thing with the why shows is 1142 00:51:28,010 --> 00:51:25,620 that before the launch of spitzer there 1143 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:28,020 was only one known in a small magellanic 1144 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:29,970 cloud and in the large magellanic cloud 1145 00:51:34,130 --> 00:51:32,490 there were only 20 so to really 1146 00:51:36,350 --> 00:51:34,140 understand this we actually had to find 1147 00:51:38,090 --> 00:51:36,360 all the all the young stellar objects 1148 00:51:39,860 --> 00:51:38,100 know this was a big discovery just 1149 00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:39,870 trying to find them and identify them 1150 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:42,330 for the first time so it was pretty 1151 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:44,570 exciting this is a lot of cool stuff 1152 00:51:49,499 --> 00:51:47,850 what I want to show over here is these 1153 00:51:50,879 --> 00:51:49,509 are all the evolved stars 1154 00:51:52,739 --> 00:51:50,889 use all the ones I talked about at the 1155 00:51:54,839 --> 00:51:52,749 beginning of the talk the ones that are 1156 00:51:56,789 --> 00:51:54,849 dying there's confusion with the ones 1157 00:51:59,879 --> 00:51:56,799 that are being born because they both 1158 00:52:02,579 --> 00:51:59,889 power stars with dust around it and 1159 00:52:04,529 --> 00:52:02,589 here's the young ones these are the ones 1160 00:52:06,749 --> 00:52:04,539 where we were after and there were some 1161 00:52:09,419 --> 00:52:06,759 studies done before tonight to show some 1162 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:09,429 of them and then this is what we this is 1163 00:52:14,009 --> 00:52:12,249 this was our guidance so in grey here 1164 00:52:15,809 --> 00:52:14,019 and all the things are it's basically 1165 00:52:17,069 --> 00:52:15,819 the whole catalog for the element for 1166 00:52:20,489 --> 00:52:17,079 the small Magellanic Cloud the whole 1167 00:52:24,389 --> 00:52:20,499 catalog of all the sources and in amber 1168 00:52:26,370 --> 00:52:24,399 here is the model predictions of where 1169 00:52:29,309 --> 00:52:26,380 do you expect to find them in the 1170 00:52:31,469 --> 00:52:29,319 color-magnitude space and then here well 1171 00:52:32,549 --> 00:52:31,479 this is a problem the problem here is 1172 00:52:36,029 --> 00:52:32,559 that there are a lot of background 1173 00:52:38,069 --> 00:52:36,039 galaxies to the LMC that confuse us with 1174 00:52:41,069 --> 00:52:38,079 whether it's a star or a galaxy 1175 00:52:43,319 --> 00:52:41,079 so the initial survey is the one 1176 00:52:47,249 --> 00:52:43,329 published by this former postdoc of mine 1177 00:52:49,169 --> 00:52:47,259 marta Savio basically went for the easy 1178 00:52:50,699 --> 00:52:49,179 stuff the really dusty stuff and the 1179 00:52:54,539 --> 00:52:50,709 bright stuffs are kind of the more 1180 00:52:58,019 --> 00:52:54,549 massive young stellar objects and so 1181 00:53:01,499 --> 00:52:58,029 what we did is we found actually 1100 1182 00:53:03,389 --> 00:53:01,509 yso candidates in the SMC that's a 1183 00:53:06,029 --> 00:53:03,399 thousand times more than we we knew 1184 00:53:09,509 --> 00:53:06,039 before before the survey was done a 1185 00:53:13,709 --> 00:53:09,519 thousand times more objects and this is 1186 00:53:15,629 --> 00:53:13,719 the location of all of them so what are 1187 00:53:17,789 --> 00:53:15,639 some of the things that are interesting 1188 00:53:19,469 --> 00:53:17,799 particularly with respect to this dust 1189 00:53:22,799 --> 00:53:19,479 lifecycle is well you can start making 1190 00:53:25,169 --> 00:53:22,809 plots histogram of the stellar mass here 1191 00:53:28,109 --> 00:53:25,179 you can see we're kind of biased to the 1192 00:53:31,109 --> 00:53:28,119 more massive ones here's the luminosity 1193 00:53:32,909 --> 00:53:31,119 plot again the more luminous ones but 1194 00:53:35,219 --> 00:53:32,919 there been lots of theoretical studies 1195 00:53:36,779 --> 00:53:35,229 shown of figuring out what an initial 1196 00:53:38,429 --> 00:53:36,789 mass function is and this is a 1197 00:53:40,259 --> 00:53:38,439 characteristic initial mass function 1198 00:53:42,569 --> 00:53:40,269 that we just fit over the part that 1199 00:53:45,179 --> 00:53:42,579 we're most confident with when we figure 1200 00:53:47,279 --> 00:53:45,189 out how much how many stars are being 1201 00:53:50,669 --> 00:53:47,289 born now and from that we can come up 1202 00:53:53,099 --> 00:53:50,679 with a star formation rate or asfr and 1203 00:53:56,459 --> 00:53:53,109 that star formation rate in the SMC is 1204 00:53:58,079 --> 00:53:56,469 0.06 solar masses per year and so that's 1205 00:53:59,549 --> 00:53:58,089 the real which stars are forming if you 1206 00:54:01,079 --> 00:53:59,559 have a guess the dust' ratio you can 1207 00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:01,089 also say well how much dust is 1208 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:02,160 disappearing 1209 00:54:11,089 --> 00:54:08,930 forming these stars alright going to the 1210 00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:11,099 less-evolved the young stellar object 1211 00:54:17,509 --> 00:54:15,000 and dust calms we got those from the 1212 00:54:21,049 --> 00:54:17,519 Herschel Heritage Survey so this is H 1213 00:54:23,839 --> 00:54:21,059 alpha spire 250 microns and this is our 1214 00:54:26,539 --> 00:54:23,849 band merge catalog and then bottom here 1215 00:54:29,029 --> 00:54:26,549 you can see where we think all the Y 1216 00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:29,039 shows are located and then we also found 1217 00:54:34,970 --> 00:54:32,609 kind of preforming stars sort of dense 1218 00:54:36,650 --> 00:54:34,980 clump things and then you can see we 1219 00:54:38,180 --> 00:54:36,660 have lots of contamination from the 1220 00:54:39,980 --> 00:54:38,190 background galaxies at these wavelengths 1221 00:54:42,380 --> 00:54:39,990 so this was a very tricky problem to 1222 00:54:43,759 --> 00:54:42,390 separate what's really distant in high 1223 00:54:47,089 --> 00:54:43,769 redshift and what is part of the 1224 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:47,099 galaxies but we ended up with you can 1225 00:54:55,910 --> 00:54:51,690 see on the order of almost 800 young 1226 00:54:58,009 --> 00:54:55,920 stellar objects with Herschel alright so 1227 00:54:58,970 --> 00:54:58,019 so this is kind of a little bit at the 1228 00:55:01,069 --> 00:54:58,980 end of my story 1229 00:55:04,190 --> 00:55:01,079 so I've stepped you through that whole 1230 00:55:04,609 --> 00:55:04,200 life cycle now but then what is the 1231 00:55:08,390 --> 00:55:04,619 ledger 1232 00:55:10,220 --> 00:55:08,400 beginning I said okay what is how much 1233 00:55:13,460 --> 00:55:10,230 dust is in the is m and so in this 1234 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:13,470 column here it's always the LMC this is 1235 00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:15,690 always the SMC I'm going to focus on the 1236 00:55:21,980 --> 00:55:19,680 LMC numbers and quote those and remember 1237 00:55:25,309 --> 00:55:21,990 the SMC you'll see is about factor of 10 1238 00:55:27,499 --> 00:55:25,319 lower so the dust mass seven point three 1239 00:55:30,650 --> 00:55:27,509 times ten to the five solar masses of 1240 00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:30,660 dust how much dust is being returned 1241 00:55:35,329 --> 00:55:32,910 from these stellar winds from egb stars 1242 00:55:37,910 --> 00:55:35,339 where it supergiant's LBB masses if you 1243 00:55:42,740 --> 00:55:37,920 sum all that up you have 2.5 times 10 of 1244 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:42,750 -5 solar masses per year and then here 1245 00:55:48,499 --> 00:55:45,690 you have supernova dust production this 1246 00:55:51,829 --> 00:55:48,509 was based on the 87 a result 2 times 10 1247 00:55:54,740 --> 00:55:51,839 to minus three solar masses per year and 1248 00:55:59,210 --> 00:55:54,750 then you have dust destruction by 1249 00:56:00,620 --> 00:55:59,220 supernovae 2 times 10 to minus 2 solar 1250 00:56:03,769 --> 00:56:00,630 masses per year so you can see the 1251 00:56:08,269 --> 00:56:03,779 destruction seems to be bigger star 1252 00:56:09,259 --> 00:56:08,279 formation rate 0.1 times 10.1 solar 1253 00:56:10,940 --> 00:56:09,269 masses per year 1254 00:56:13,039 --> 00:56:10,950 stellar astray ssin of death so that's 1255 00:56:15,620 --> 00:56:13,049 sort of multiplying this time to dust 1256 00:56:17,150 --> 00:56:15,630 the gas ratio so this is how much dust 1257 00:56:19,610 --> 00:56:17,160 appears because we're just warming stars 1258 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:19,620 two times some of mines for solar masses 1259 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:22,770 per year so what we have here is a net 1260 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:27,450 loss of dust at 1.8 times 10 to minus 2 1261 00:56:32,420 --> 00:56:29,610 solar masses per year it's that's kind 1262 00:56:34,970 --> 00:56:32,430 of a high rate of deaths now you'll note 1263 00:56:38,660 --> 00:56:34,980 that I don't have a calculation for the 1264 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:38,670 dust grouse in the is M because we don't 1265 00:56:42,410 --> 00:56:40,890 have ways to measure that yet we know 1266 00:56:45,890 --> 00:56:42,420 something's happening but we don't know 1267 00:56:50,930 --> 00:56:45,900 what the rate but because this number is 1268 00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:50,940 negative I still ask this question of 1269 00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:55,730 why does this galaxy have dust and 1270 00:57:00,260 --> 00:56:58,290 before I take your questions I just want 1271 00:57:02,270 --> 00:57:00,270 to point out that doing this type of 1272 00:57:04,580 --> 00:57:02,280 work I mean the amount of discoveries we 1273 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:04,590 made in these programs is tremendous and 1274 00:57:08,900 --> 00:57:06,450 it's been really rewarding but it is not 1275 00:57:11,830 --> 00:57:08,910 possible without a large team of people 1276 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:11,840 because all these calculations and work 1277 00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:18,090 requires many hands so anyway I thank 1278 00:57:34,910 --> 00:57:52,579 Yeah right 1279 00:57:58,640 --> 00:57:54,769 in terms of interaction physical 1280 00:58:01,489 --> 00:57:58,650 dynamical interaction not not as 1281 00:58:04,940 --> 00:58:01,499 intensely as the LMC the SMC do with 1282 00:58:08,210 --> 00:58:04,950 each other and this type of study of 1283 00:58:09,950 --> 00:58:08,220 dust evolution has not been done in the 1284 00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:09,960 mini Andromeda galaxy although I'm 1285 00:58:15,170 --> 00:58:12,720 thinking about it with James Webb when 1286 00:58:16,819 --> 00:58:15,180 James why but the the two satellite 1287 00:58:18,650 --> 00:58:16,829 galaxies of Andromeda are mostly 1288 00:58:23,089 --> 00:58:18,660 ellipticals do they have significant 1289 00:58:25,789 --> 00:58:23,099 dust and ice the close-in ones are too 1290 00:58:28,069 --> 00:58:25,799 elliptical with dwarf ellipticals yeah I 1291 00:58:29,180 --> 00:58:28,079 don't know my postdoc Libby's actually 1292 00:58:31,549 --> 00:58:29,190 going to try to measure the dust 1293 00:58:32,779 --> 00:58:31,559 production for him 32 okay 1294 00:58:34,789 --> 00:58:32,789 I'm just to see what's being produced 1295 00:58:36,579 --> 00:58:34,799 but there is not a lot of gas and dust 1296 00:58:39,229 --> 00:58:36,589 there's not a lot of interstellar medium 1297 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:39,239 so it's hard to measure what's what's in 1298 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:55,650 oh right okay we need to repeat the 1299 00:58:59,460 --> 00:58:57,010 question for though oh right for the eye 1300 00:59:02,820 --> 00:58:59,470 okay so the question was you mentioned 1301 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:02,830 that supernovae destroyed us but in 1987 1302 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:06,130 au seed us so why do you see it in that 1303 00:59:11,660 --> 00:59:09,850 case and so the difference or maybe I 1304 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:11,670 didn't make very clear is that the 1305 00:59:18,630 --> 00:59:15,130 supernova 1987a the ejecta from the star 1306 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:18,640 I mean the explosion has created dust 1307 00:59:24,420 --> 00:59:22,090 that much dust and it is but it's the 1308 00:59:26,220 --> 00:59:24,430 shockwave of the supernova remnant going 1309 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:26,230 out that is destroying the dust outside 1310 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:28,810 of that so it's destroying the dust in 1311 00:59:36,180 --> 00:59:32,530 the interstellar medium so that's that's 1312 00:59:38,340 --> 00:59:36,190 why we saw it also it's very young super 1313 00:59:39,690 --> 00:59:38,350 number 87 a is really experienced what 1314 00:59:41,070 --> 00:59:39,700 they call a reverse shock where the 1315 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:41,080 shocks that would come back and so a lot 1316 00:59:44,670 --> 00:59:43,330 of people say okay well to have solar 1317 00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:44,680 massive dust but all of its gonna go 1318 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:45,910 away with the reverse shock well that's 1319 00:59:50,460 --> 00:59:47,650 something we'll be able to explore 1320 00:59:52,650 --> 00:59:50,470 actually over the next decade how much 1321 00:59:54,270 --> 00:59:52,660 how much does get destroyed so you're 1322 00:59:56,670 --> 00:59:54,280 expecting the reverse shot to hit in the 1323 01:00:00,330 --> 00:59:56,680 next decade that's what someone was 1324 01:00:02,820 --> 01:00:00,340 telling me yeah I just find 87 is so fun 1325 01:00:04,650 --> 01:00:02,830 it is we have to watch things happen in 1326 01:00:06,690 --> 01:00:04,660 real time that you've never been able to 1327 01:00:08,430 --> 01:00:06,700 see so with James Webb I'm gonna use 1328 01:00:10,230 --> 01:00:08,440 some of my guaranteed time to actually 1329 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:10,240 try to get a spectrum of that dust to 1330 01:00:22,410 --> 01:00:11,770 figure out what is it made of because 1331 01:00:25,020 --> 01:00:22,420 it's limiting our models yes it means 1332 01:00:27,780 --> 01:00:25,030 that well dust is it's sort of all these 1333 01:00:29,550 --> 01:00:27,790 metals that are solid in a solid form so 1334 01:00:33,330 --> 01:00:29,560 when you mean destroyed it means it's 1335 01:00:35,250 --> 01:00:33,340 shattered all into the atoms so that's 1336 01:00:37,020 --> 01:00:35,260 why these depletion measurements we're 1337 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:37,030 just looking at how many how many how 1338 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:39,850 much atoms of iron is there in the gas 1339 01:00:44,700 --> 01:00:41,610 and how much should there be in that's 1340 01:00:48,210 --> 01:00:44,710 the fact that whatever's missing sort of 1341 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:48,220 the missing so we had a question from 1342 01:00:52,890 --> 01:00:50,650 online yes they wanted to know our dust 1343 01:00:55,410 --> 01:00:52,900 grains positively or negatively charged 1344 01:00:58,109 --> 01:00:55,420 are they mostly neutral oh that's a very 1345 01:01:02,579 --> 01:00:58,119 good question very sophisticated 1346 01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:02,589 they are neutral inside the dense clouds 1347 01:01:06,809 --> 01:01:04,809 but near the surfaces where their shine 1348 01:01:20,759 --> 01:01:06,819 by light they tend to be positively 1349 01:01:23,849 --> 01:01:20,769 charged questions from the room right so 1350 01:01:26,609 --> 01:01:23,859 hydrogen's the bulk of it but then it's 1351 01:01:28,499 --> 01:01:26,619 like healing there's some fraction of it 1352 01:01:33,059 --> 01:01:28,509 that's helium that we that we correct 1353 01:01:35,339 --> 01:01:33,069 for no I mean hydrogen I mean basically 1354 01:01:37,620 --> 01:01:35,349 if you can account for all the hydrogen 1355 01:01:39,569 --> 01:01:37,630 atoms and then correct for the helium 1356 01:01:42,239 --> 01:01:39,579 you you pretty much know how much gas is 1357 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:42,249 there I mean we use all sorts of gas 1358 01:01:47,730 --> 01:01:45,130 tracers to help us like for the cold 1359 01:01:52,620 --> 01:01:47,740 molecular gas for h2 we can't really 1360 01:01:54,089 --> 01:01:52,630 trace that very well with well with the 1361 01:01:56,099 --> 01:01:54,099 transitions because it's a diatomic 1362 01:01:59,099 --> 01:01:56,109 molecule so we tend to use carbon 1363 01:02:01,769 --> 01:01:59,109 monoxide or Co because it's asymmetric 1364 01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:01,779 we can trace its rotational lines at a 1365 01:02:09,259 --> 01:02:04,630 low temperature and be able to use it as 1366 01:02:11,579 --> 01:02:09,269 a tracer for the molecular hydrogen is 1367 01:02:15,569 --> 01:02:11,589 that's part of the uncertainty and that 1368 01:02:19,229 --> 01:02:15,579 gas to dust ratio map that I showed you 1369 01:02:22,109 --> 01:02:19,239 is it's very difficult to to map where 1370 01:02:24,089 --> 01:02:22,119 the hydrogen is okay so we have another 1371 01:02:25,769 --> 01:02:24,099 question from online wanting to know 1372 01:02:27,630 --> 01:02:25,779 about the dust clouds themselves what 1373 01:02:29,339 --> 01:02:27,640 are the it's like the average density in 1374 01:02:30,779 --> 01:02:29,349 these dust clouds I guess they'd 1375 01:02:33,779 --> 01:02:30,789 probably want to know the temperature - 1376 01:02:38,309 --> 01:02:33,789 okay the temperature in the clouds in 1377 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:38,319 the largeman jóhanna around 25 Kelvin 22 1378 01:02:44,489 --> 01:02:42,130 Kelvin so I mean really cold but it's 1379 01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:44,499 colder than 3 Kelvin which is the Cosmic 1380 01:02:50,309 --> 01:02:46,569 Microwave Background but that's still 1381 01:02:52,710 --> 01:02:50,319 minus 250 or so yeah you wouldn't 1382 01:02:59,970 --> 01:02:52,720 centigrade there which is around minus 1383 01:03:03,509 --> 01:02:59,980 500 yeah it's not it's not like being at 1384 01:03:05,339 --> 01:03:03,519 the beach or something I mean actually 1385 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:05,349 sand grains is kind of an analogy to all 1386 01:03:09,970 --> 01:03:07,930 the silicate grains and stuff but the 1387 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:09,980 densities it's very low 1388 01:03:16,930 --> 01:03:15,170 gosh I mean some of the desk clouds you 1389 01:03:20,319 --> 01:03:16,940 know and I'm going to trace this in 1390 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:20,329 terms of the hydrogen content right it 1391 01:03:26,109 --> 01:03:22,930 could be like there might be a hundred 1392 01:03:28,060 --> 01:03:26,119 per cubic centimeter right that's I mean 1393 01:03:29,980 --> 01:03:28,070 it's really I mean it's rarified it's 1394 01:03:32,230 --> 01:03:29,990 more rarefied than any vacuum that we 1395 01:03:34,180 --> 01:03:32,240 can create on earth it's just very it's 1396 01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:34,190 very rarefied and the reason we can see 1397 01:03:39,910 --> 01:03:36,260 is that we see large columns of it and 1398 01:03:42,220 --> 01:03:39,920 you map it because there's just lots it 1399 01:03:44,829 --> 01:03:42,230 the clouds big it's massive but it's 1400 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:44,839 very diffused right so it's like colder 1401 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:47,210 than anything on earth and more rarefied 1402 01:04:02,109 --> 01:03:48,890 than anything on earth but let me call 1403 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:02,119 it this these giant dust clouds yes it 1404 01:04:05,589 --> 01:04:03,050 does 1405 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:05,599 I mean our earth is made of dust grains 1406 01:04:10,300 --> 01:04:07,010 these dust grains they've been floating 1407 01:04:13,810 --> 01:04:10,310 around but that's it creates things only 1408 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:13,820 when it gets gathered up right it 1409 01:04:17,559 --> 01:04:15,650 creates a lot of hassle for all my 1410 01:04:19,420 --> 01:04:17,569 optical Astronomy buddies in the house 1411 01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:19,430 in this building because they're like ah 1412 01:04:23,410 --> 01:04:21,200 that's I've gotta correct for it cuz 1413 01:04:26,170 --> 01:04:23,420 it's reddening my observations and it's 1414 01:04:29,589 --> 01:04:26,180 making it dimmer so it causes a nuisance 1415 01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:29,599 that way but in terms of creating things 1416 01:04:35,140 --> 01:04:33,380 when a stars formed I showed you that 1417 01:04:37,059 --> 01:04:35,150 disk and planets form around it and the 1418 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:37,069 planets are really formed from the dust 1419 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:39,890 the dust condenses nicely at the center 1420 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:43,130 settles better than the gas and it and 1421 01:04:45,730 --> 01:04:44,450 that's actually a different mystery as 1422 01:04:47,620 --> 01:04:45,740 someone else can talk to you about but 1423 01:04:49,569 --> 01:04:47,630 how do you get these grains to build up 1424 01:04:51,700 --> 01:04:49,579 to fill to create plant if they actually 1425 01:04:54,069 --> 01:04:51,710 haven't figured that out yet because 1426 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:54,079 it's hard to go from okay you can 1427 01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:56,210 coagulate in there bigger bigger but at 1428 01:04:59,859 --> 01:04:57,650 that certain point they can't figure out 1429 01:05:02,530 --> 01:04:59,869 how they stick well enough together to 1430 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:02,540 build something bigger that's a that's a 1431 01:05:22,950 --> 01:05:20,220 no no you mean to imply you mean to a 1432 01:05:25,740 --> 01:05:22,960 planet is ever to me no I wouldn't call 1433 01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:25,750 that destruction to me right I would say 1434 01:05:31,830 --> 01:05:27,760 that's creating into a really large dust 1435 01:05:36,540 --> 01:05:31,840 grain you live on a giant doesn't 1436 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:36,550 everybody know because it's still a 1437 01:05:53,770 --> 01:05:59,270 they won't write 1438 01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:02,040 okay so I'll have two answers one is 1439 01:06:06,690 --> 01:06:04,510 that I mean we we certainly observe dust 1440 01:06:09,150 --> 01:06:06,700 and gas clouds in our solar neighborhood 1441 01:06:10,890 --> 01:06:09,160 that you know people have observed in 1442 01:06:13,049 --> 01:06:10,900 fact this whole depletion stuff I talked 1443 01:06:15,150 --> 01:06:13,059 about all of that has been done very 1444 01:06:19,290 --> 01:06:15,160 local to this to the Sun because it's 1445 01:06:21,839 --> 01:06:19,300 difficult to go beyond that I think in 1446 01:06:24,660 --> 01:06:21,849 terms of our solar system sweeping 1447 01:06:26,099 --> 01:06:24,670 through next hundred years well I don't 1448 01:06:30,210 --> 01:06:26,109 know I mean we might be passing through 1449 01:06:33,620 --> 01:06:30,220 something now I did hear a paper where 1450 01:06:37,109 --> 01:06:33,630 someone used the Voyager spacecraft data 1451 01:06:38,819 --> 01:06:37,119 to understand interstellar grain dust 1452 01:06:42,059 --> 01:06:38,829 grains that were coming into the solar 1453 01:06:45,660 --> 01:06:42,069 system so it's it's quite possible that 1454 01:06:48,030 --> 01:06:45,670 you know we are getting I mean that we 1455 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:48,040 are getting bombarded but it's and it's 1456 01:06:53,099 --> 01:06:50,890 difficult that it was a fascinating 1457 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:53,109 paper because somehow they were able to 1458 01:06:59,520 --> 01:06:57,130 know it was clouds coming out the Oort 1459 01:07:01,859 --> 01:06:59,530 cloud Oh with the with the Kuiper belt 1460 01:07:03,690 --> 01:07:01,869 objects and stuff like that I mean that 1461 01:07:06,150 --> 01:07:03,700 but that's part of the solar system I 1462 01:07:08,849 --> 01:07:06,160 mean so that I think he was asking like 1463 01:07:23,059 --> 01:07:08,859 a different interstellar cloud that a 1464 01:07:29,849 --> 01:07:26,089 it would be I mean and actually 1465 01:07:32,210 --> 01:07:29,859 something there's a group in University 1466 01:07:33,930 --> 01:07:32,220 of Washington in st. Louis that is 1467 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:33,940 internationally famous they have a 1468 01:07:38,099 --> 01:07:35,770 meteoroid lab in which they take 1469 01:07:39,809 --> 01:07:38,109 meteorites and they smash them out to 1470 01:07:41,420 --> 01:07:39,819 little parts and they try to identify 1471 01:07:45,150 --> 01:07:41,430 which dust grains are what they call 1472 01:07:49,529 --> 01:07:45,160 pre-solar grains and so they've actually 1473 01:07:53,549 --> 01:07:49,539 have found and analyzed dust grains that 1474 01:07:55,620 --> 01:07:53,559 were formed in an Ag B star wind and 1475 01:07:58,079 --> 01:07:55,630 they're able to identify it because the 1476 01:08:01,140 --> 01:07:58,089 isotopic ratio of like a carbon star has 1477 01:08:04,140 --> 01:08:01,150 a very unique signature when you dredge 1478 01:08:07,170 --> 01:08:04,150 up the carbon the carbon 12 to carbon 13 1479 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:07,180 ratio is very different than you know 1480 01:08:11,279 --> 01:08:09,010 what we find normally in the in the 1481 01:08:12,660 --> 01:08:11,289 universe and so they're able to identify 1482 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:12,670 that and actually study those grains 1483 01:08:17,550 --> 01:08:15,250 incident that's probably the closest 1484 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:17,560 that I know where you come to try to 1485 01:08:22,530 --> 01:08:20,170 study something that was created outside 1486 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:22,540 and actually somehow survived all the 1487 01:08:28,499 --> 01:08:24,850 processing I've talked about I mean I 1488 01:08:29,729 --> 01:08:28,509 think people were floored when they 1489 01:08:32,579 --> 01:08:29,739 heard what do you mean you found 1490 01:08:34,380 --> 01:08:32,589 something that that pre-existed the 1491 01:08:37,380 --> 01:08:34,390 solar system and wasn't smashed to 1492 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:37,390 smithereens and rebuilt yeah and let me 1493 01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:40,330 just set timescale the Sun moves around 1494 01:08:46,019 --> 01:08:42,880 the center of our galaxy in about 200 to 1495 01:08:47,459 --> 01:08:46,029 220 million years so a hundred years is 1496 01:08:47,939 --> 01:08:47,469 nothing to the sun's motion through the 1497 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:47,949 galaxy 1498 01:08:52,649 --> 01:08:50,650 so so we well I'm sure that in our 1499 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:52,659 travels we've made about eighteen orbits 1500 01:08:56,610 --> 01:08:53,890 around the center of the galaxy we have 1501 01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:56,620 passed through dust clouds right but 1502 01:08:59,999 --> 01:08:58,330 it's not something that a hundred years 1503 01:09:03,630 --> 01:09:00,009 is going to make a lot of difference to 1504 01:09:31,870 --> 01:09:03,640 our position in the galaxy okay other 1505 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:33,550 okay you have to summarize that for the 1506 01:09:37,450 --> 01:09:35,330 online cousin up to here at the front 1507 01:09:39,670 --> 01:09:37,460 right so what I hear and please correct 1508 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:39,680 me if I'm ever mind you're asking that 1509 01:09:43,780 --> 01:09:42,410 you imagine different stars different 1510 01:09:48,390 --> 01:09:43,790 masses will have different explosive 1511 01:09:51,970 --> 01:09:48,400 forces and that's completely true and 1512 01:09:53,620 --> 01:09:51,980 how does that how does it affect is it 1513 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:53,630 because there's this difference in the 1514 01:10:07,480 --> 01:09:55,730 carbon and silicon destruction does that 1515 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:07,490 affect right so the question was do we 1516 01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:10,130 have evidence of how the dust get right 1517 01:10:14,350 --> 01:10:12,110 is there a correlation between this 1518 01:10:17,650 --> 01:10:14,360 supernova explosion and the type of 1519 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:17,660 destruction that it does all I can tell 1520 01:10:21,940 --> 01:10:19,730 you is that not as much evidence as we 1521 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:21,950 would like I mean there are a couple of 1522 01:10:26,140 --> 01:10:23,570 supernova remnants that have been 1523 01:10:30,430 --> 01:10:26,150 studied in some detail to show that dust 1524 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:30,440 is destroyed but a lot of what a lot of 1525 01:10:36,070 --> 01:10:33,650 what is modeled is very theoretical and 1526 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:36,080 that's why there's this whole huge 1527 01:10:40,420 --> 01:10:38,090 uncertainty like I've told you this 1528 01:10:44,070 --> 01:10:40,430 death destruction so some people in the 1529 01:10:47,410 --> 01:10:44,080 in in the field say well okay but that's 1530 01:10:49,150 --> 01:10:47,420 that this is really a calculation this 1531 01:10:52,350 --> 01:10:49,160 is really a theoretical count it's not 1532 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:52,360 as not as known as well as we might like 1533 01:10:59,140 --> 01:10:55,130 and so some people dispute that this 1534 01:11:00,850 --> 01:10:59,150 dust is destroyed this efficiently other 1535 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:00,860 people believe this is gospel that's 1536 01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:07,010 mainly the theorists and the you know 1537 01:11:10,780 --> 01:11:08,450 then they say and the theorists say well 1538 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:10,790 what this proves is that dust has to 1539 01:11:15,550 --> 01:11:13,370 grow in the is M at a rate to nullify 1540 01:11:17,830 --> 01:11:15,560 that so basically things are steady 1541 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:17,840 state and hence we have dust in a galaxy 1542 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:21,650 but I think I mean this I would like to 1543 01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:23,810 see more observational investigation 1544 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:25,640 today I mean we could do what you just 1545 01:11:30,670 --> 01:11:27,770 said and can we find a correlation 1546 01:11:33,460 --> 01:11:30,680 between a massive explosion and how much 1547 01:11:36,190 --> 01:11:33,470 dust is destroyed and really find har 1548 01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:36,200 vêtements or that that would be that 1549 01:11:39,790 --> 01:11:37,310 would be really good that would be a 1550 01:11:40,580 --> 01:11:39,800 huge step forward in my opinion we could 1551 01:11:42,260 --> 01:11:40,590 do that 1552 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:42,270 but we don't we don't quite have that 1553 01:12:00,470 --> 01:11:55,170 yet let's see well a couple things it's 1554 01:12:03,470 --> 01:12:00,480 a bit of a secure Espace for me I was it 1555 01:12:05,180 --> 01:12:03,480 was a bit random how I got here in the 1556 01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:05,190 sense that I was always interested in 1557 01:12:11,390 --> 01:12:08,310 astronomy as a as a child like in age 13 1558 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:11,400 I took a science course and I have to 1559 01:12:15,109 --> 01:12:13,050 say middle school teachers if any of you 1560 01:12:17,419 --> 01:12:15,119 are out there you have probably the most 1561 01:12:21,290 --> 01:12:17,429 impact on the kids the career career 1562 01:12:22,669 --> 01:12:21,300 decision but I took a class and every 1563 01:12:25,339 --> 01:12:22,679 everything they talked to me about was 1564 01:12:26,959 --> 01:12:25,349 like meteorology a meteorologist or Ino 1565 01:12:28,310 --> 01:12:26,969 jealous oh I want to be a geologist and 1566 01:12:30,350 --> 01:12:28,320 we ended with astronomy and I was like 1567 01:12:33,859 --> 01:12:30,360 oh man I've got to be an astronomer and 1568 01:12:35,810 --> 01:12:33,869 and then I found I then I took physics 1569 01:12:37,430 --> 01:12:35,820 I think the following year and I thought 1570 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:37,440 you know it's quite good I was good at 1571 01:12:44,750 --> 01:12:39,810 math and physics less good at English 1572 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:44,760 and then when I went to school I kind of 1573 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:46,290 I went to University of Maryland College 1574 01:12:51,410 --> 01:12:49,770 Park actually undergrad I said well you 1575 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:51,420 can't get a job as an astronomer so I 1576 01:12:54,410 --> 01:12:53,010 went into logical engineering I have a 1577 01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:54,420 degree in electrical engineering and 1578 01:13:00,109 --> 01:12:58,170 mathematics but a neighbor of mine who 1579 01:13:01,820 --> 01:13:00,119 was an astronomer you know as a bright 1580 01:13:03,459 --> 01:13:01,830 student and said hey do you want to work 1581 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:03,469 with me and over the summer I was like 1582 01:13:09,589 --> 01:13:06,690 okay and so I worked at Goddard in some 1583 01:13:11,899 --> 01:13:09,599 internships and that was really cool 1584 01:13:14,390 --> 01:13:11,909 that was fun and exciting and then when 1585 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:14,400 I neared the end of undergrad I had to 1586 01:13:18,229 --> 01:13:16,530 do an engineering honors thesis and 1587 01:13:20,450 --> 01:13:18,239 again a friend of mine who was an 1588 01:13:22,250 --> 01:13:20,460 astronomy major told his professor and 1589 01:13:24,290 --> 01:13:22,260 he called me up and says how would you 1590 01:13:26,959 --> 01:13:24,300 like to do it in in astronomy I was like 1591 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:26,969 okay it has to have some engineering so 1592 01:13:30,770 --> 01:13:28,530 how about a Radio Astronomy that's like 1593 01:13:33,020 --> 01:13:30,780 okay so I did a radio astronomy project 1594 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:33,030 and it was really cool I thought wow 1595 01:13:38,870 --> 01:13:35,010 well you know I think I want to go into 1596 01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:38,880 grad school this is pretty cool maybe 1597 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:41,760 I'll try it out for a year so I tried it 1598 01:13:44,780 --> 01:13:43,290 out for a year in grad school and said 1599 01:13:46,970 --> 01:13:44,790 if no if I really don't like it I'm just 1600 01:13:47,299 --> 01:13:46,980 I'm just gonna move over but I really 1601 01:13:51,020 --> 01:13:47,309 like 1602 01:13:52,609 --> 01:13:51,030 so I stuck with it you know all right 1603 01:13:55,850 --> 01:13:52,619 that sounds like a wonderful finish 1604 01:13:58,430 --> 01:13:55,860 point I am sorry to tell you that clouds 1605 01:14:00,649 --> 01:13:58,440 have come in and Duncan sent me an email 1606 01:14:04,669 --> 01:14:00,659 and we are not going across the street 1607 01:14:07,689 --> 01:14:04,679 to the observatory however I did go out 1608 01:14:11,149 --> 01:14:07,699 during market stalk and get you a 1609 01:14:13,399 --> 01:14:11,159 picture for tonight pillar in the Korean 1610 01:14:17,020 --> 01:14:13,409 and nebula all sorts of information on 1611 01:14:19,430 --> 01:14:17,030 the back some over there some here 1612 01:14:21,140 --> 01:14:19,440 remember to check the website for 1613 01:14:23,510 --> 01:14:21,150 whether or not the south or the north is 1614 01:14:25,790 --> 01:14:23,520 closed next month I'll send it out on 1615 01:14:27,140 --> 01:14:25,800 the
