1 00:00:04,460 --> 00:00:02,090 and and welcome to the Space Telescope 2 00:00:06,769 --> 00:00:04,470 Science Institute public lecture series 3 00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:06,779 it is my pleasure to be your host 4 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:09,120 I am dr. Frank summers of the office of 5 00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:12,150 public outreach as you come in as these 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:14,190 gentlemen just are right now there are 7 00:00:19,370 --> 00:00:17,010 lithographs on the table that you can 8 00:00:24,019 --> 00:00:19,380 grab and take home tonight's lithograph 9 00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:24,029 is of interacting galaxies ARP 273 our 10 00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:25,740 speaker will be talking on the 11 00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:26,910 development of galaxies in the universe 12 00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:29,670 and this is a very interesting pair if 13 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,260 you would like to know more about it 14 00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:33,360 turn over on the back and we have a few 15 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:35,640 paragraphs telling you about the state 16 00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:38,820 of ARP 273 and where you can go to get 17 00:00:47,779 --> 00:00:43,710 more information our speaker tonight kvl 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:47,789 Italo is talking about 100 ways to die 19 00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:51,210 in the universe okay she promises death 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:54,440 and destruction here tonight okay 21 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,370 astronomy usually doesn't have that much 22 00:01:00,139 --> 00:00:58,640 action but we're gonna have it tonight 23 00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:00,149 next month 24 00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:02,820 chasing supernovae with Kepler the 25 00:01:08,929 --> 00:01:05,729 Kepler satellite was out there to find 26 00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:08,939 planets but you can also use it because 27 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:11,030 it can monitor the brightnesses of stars 28 00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:13,890 extremely carefully you can also use it 29 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,830 to find supernovae and Gotham Narayan 30 00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:18,720 will be telling us about that on October 31 00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:23,280 2nd November and because Election Day is 32 00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:25,680 the first Tuesday we will be skipping to 33 00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:28,950 the second Tuesday November 13th and 34 00:01:35,149 --> 00:01:31,439 we'll talk about exoplanet atmospheres G 35 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:35,159 Giovanni Bruno now I got an email last 36 00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:37,290 week saying he might not be able to make 37 00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,100 that so this is gonna become a TBD 38 00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:43,680 probably next week as soon as I get in 39 00:01:48,679 --> 00:01:46,590 contact with him again so I guess some 40 00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:48,689 work to do as you can tell because 41 00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:51,000 December is listed as some intriguing 42 00:01:57,020 --> 00:01:54,840 topic by some amazing speaker so it's 43 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:57,030 difficult to get astronomers to commit 44 00:02:00,380 --> 00:01:58,170 over the summer so I wait until 45 00:02:02,179 --> 00:02:00,390 September to get them to commit and so 46 00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:02,189 yes I'll be sending that email out this 47 00:02:07,639 --> 00:02:05,009 this week are next okay don't worry I 48 00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:07,649 always fill up the schedule alright and 49 00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:09,390 you want to find out what these speakers 50 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:11,190 are when I do fill up that schedule you 51 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:13,050 go to our website go to

or go 55 00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:22,680 Toxteth to find us we have our list of 56 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:25,590 the upcoming lectures we have the links 57 00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:27,930 to the live webcasting and YouTube 58 00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:31,640 events we also have our archives back to 59 00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:34,790 2014 on YouTube and all the way back to 60 00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:39,060 2005 in the webcast archive so our guys 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:41,430 in the pack have been doing this for 62 00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:44,490 what is this now 13 years all right this 63 00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:46,709 is amazing stuff yeah yeah my hat my hat 64 00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:53,910 they deserve it so on our website you 65 00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:56,880 can sign up for our email

00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:16,110 have comments or questions we have an 75 00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:19,560 email set up public lecture at stsci edu 76 00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:22,980 and you can sent use that our social 77 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:24,750 media for those who do it we've got 78 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:26,690 Facebook Twitter YouTube and Instagram 79 00:03:32,090 --> 00:03:29,310 not just for the Hubble telescope not 80 00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:32,100 just for the Webb telescope also for the 81 00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:34,680 Space Telescope Science Institute so 82 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:36,900 we've got three different brands that we 83 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:39,510 are marketing here and we get it we 84 00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:41,310 actually you know these the folks who do 85 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:42,750 this do a really good job of getting it 86 00:03:48,289 --> 00:03:45,330 an interesting mix of things across the 87 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:48,299 various channels I do not however do an 88 00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:50,250 interesting mix of things I rarely post 89 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,600 online something I should do more of but 90 00:03:57,650 --> 00:03:55,680 frankly there's just too much cool 91 00:04:00,530 --> 00:03:57,660 things to do to spend all my time on 92 00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:00,540 social media so you can follow me but I 93 00:04:07,250 --> 00:04:03,870 will not be I will not not be on there 94 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,260 all the time the weather is finally 95 00:04:12,289 --> 00:04:09,840 permitting I got the email from araignee 96 00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:12,299 today and yes the observatory will be 97 00:04:17,719 --> 00:04:15,030 open after the lecture okay so the 98 00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:17,729 Maryland Space Grant Observatory arena 99 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:20,040 will come here toward the end of the 100 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:21,359 lecture she's probably watching this on 101 00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:24,330 YouTube right now when the questions 102 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:26,940 start at Starcom and if you would like 103 00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:27,310 to go 104 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:29,260 to the telescope to look through the 105 00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:31,840 telescope tonight it may be warm but 106 00:04:38,129 --> 00:04:34,360 we'll meet down here in the front at the 107 00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:38,139 end of the lecture okay alright and now 108 00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:41,070 the news from the universe for September 109 00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:42,870 2018 110 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:47,070 our first story tonight ultra large 111 00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:50,710 ultra deep ultraviolet 112 00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:54,460 yes Hubble is going altra here now what 113 00:04:58,770 --> 00:04:56,230 am I talking about I'm actually talking 114 00:05:02,210 --> 00:04:58,780 about the legacy of Hubble's deep fields 115 00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:02,220 and the first deep field was released in 116 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:05,500 1996 this was done with wide field 117 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:07,690 planetary camera 2 hence it has the 118 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:12,000 chevron shape to it and it was a 119 00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:15,970 magnificent step in cosmology because we 120 00:05:19,530 --> 00:05:18,190 really didn't know what we would see 121 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:19,540 when we looked at the universe this 122 00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:22,960 deeply when we use Hubble to expose for 123 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,660 a week's worth of exposure time there 124 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:27,520 were arguments amongst the cosmologists 125 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:29,410 as whether this is a total waste of 126 00:05:34,050 --> 00:05:31,630 Hubble or hey we're gonna find out 127 00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:34,060 something really cool fortunately is the 128 00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:35,979 second one we did find out something 129 00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:38,710 really cool we found 3,000 galaxies in a 130 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:43,180 tiny tiny tiny patch of sky and so what 131 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:45,010 these art we're seeing galaxies all the 132 00:05:48,779 --> 00:05:46,930 way across the universe compressed into 133 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:48,789 a single image we're seeing galaxies 134 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:50,710 deeper and further into the universe 135 00:05:54,719 --> 00:05:53,050 than we had ever seen before so of 136 00:05:58,290 --> 00:05:54,729 course when we got a new instrument in 137 00:06:01,050 --> 00:05:58,300 2004 the advanced camera for surveys we 138 00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:01,060 started doing some surveys and one of 139 00:06:06,540 --> 00:06:02,950 the surveys we did in 2000 and I'm sorry 140 00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:06,550 the cameras in 2002 in 2003 the Great 141 00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:09,780 observatories origins deep survey in 142 00:06:18,029 --> 00:06:14,830 2003 this was fifteen pointings of 143 00:06:20,430 --> 00:06:18,039 Hubble Accra and with a detector that's 144 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:20,440 twice the size of whispering - so 30 145 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:22,330 times the area on the sky of the 146 00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:25,120 original Hubble Deep Field well when you 147 00:06:30,540 --> 00:06:27,820 do that large of a region you can't go 148 00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:30,550 extremely deep so they chose a special 149 00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:33,669 region in here in which they really 150 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,300 really been in and they million seconds 151 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:39,360 of exposure time on it 152 00:06:45,469 --> 00:06:43,110 was the Hubble ultra-deep field in 2004 153 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:45,479 the deepest visible light exposure of 154 00:06:50,029 --> 00:06:48,240 the universe taken to that time and 155 00:06:52,459 --> 00:06:50,039 remains to this day really because the 156 00:06:55,429 --> 00:06:52,469 only thing deeper are updates to the 157 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,439 Ultra Deep Field and so this had 10,000 158 00:07:00,559 --> 00:06:57,599 galaxies and really started letting us 159 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:00,569 look out towards the the edge of the 160 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:03,930 cosmos well in 2009 we had another 161 00:07:09,619 --> 00:07:06,090 servicing mission and that greatly 162 00:07:11,719 --> 00:07:09,629 improved our infrared capability so in 163 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:11,729 this region here which is where the 164 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:14,310 infrared detector covered we did the 165 00:07:20,089 --> 00:07:17,610 alternate field with infrared in 2009 166 00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:20,099 and infrared is extremely important for 167 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:21,870 cosmology because the light from very 168 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:24,449 distant galaxies is redshifted it's 169 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:26,310 light is stretched and it goes from 170 00:07:30,649 --> 00:07:27,930 visible light even from ultraviolet 171 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:30,659 light into the infrared so if you want 172 00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:32,610 to see the most distant galaxies you've 173 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:35,969 got to look in the infrared well we also 174 00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:38,250 improve the ultraviolet capabilities at 175 00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:39,960 that time but we didn't get around to 176 00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:41,430 releasing and doing those observations 177 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:47,580 on June 2014 with ultraviolet and this I 178 00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:48,870 like to call this the multi-wavelength 179 00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:51,150 deep field because it's got ultraviolet 180 00:07:56,899 --> 00:07:53,969 visible and infrared it covers the 181 00:08:00,019 --> 00:07:56,909 entire panoply of wavelengths that 182 00:08:03,469 --> 00:08:00,029 Hubble can look at and it was really an 183 00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:03,479 amazing piece but it showed us that we 184 00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:07,169 still wanted more so a bunch of 185 00:08:13,219 --> 00:08:10,139 astronomers proposed to do this but on 186 00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:13,229 the Hubble Deep altra violet legacy 187 00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:16,680 survey and we just released those a few 188 00:08:24,409 --> 00:08:21,300 weeks ago the HUD v2 fields this is the 189 00:08:26,809 --> 00:08:24,419 North field and this is the South field 190 00:08:30,529 --> 00:08:26,819 and I gotta say when you look at them 191 00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:30,539 you go okay yeah Mordy fields right yes 192 00:08:37,009 --> 00:08:34,620 and no okay because first of all the 193 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:37,019 ultraviolet is extremely important 194 00:08:41,449 --> 00:08:38,490 because it shows us where stars are 195 00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:41,459 forming okay newborn stars the most 196 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:43,910 massive stars shine brightly in the 197 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:47,040 ultraviolet but they only do so for tens 198 00:08:52,309 --> 00:08:49,770 of millions of years so it's just the 199 00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:52,319 brand-new newborn stars that can be 200 00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:53,070 found 201 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:56,430 with ultraviolet and ultraviolet can't 202 00:09:00,740 --> 00:08:59,370 be seen from the ground we can't do good 203 00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:00,750 ultraviolet astronomers no ground we 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:02,430 have to do it from space so having 205 00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:04,410 Hubble do these ultraviolet fields is 206 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:08,460 extremely important furthermore the size 207 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:09,930 of that Hubble ultra-deep field 208 00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:14,130 ultraviolet is only that and with these 209 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:18,630 two fields we have 14 times more surface 210 00:09:24,860 --> 00:09:21,930 area on the sky 14 times more statistics 211 00:09:27,140 --> 00:09:24,870 of the ultraviolet galaxies so what 212 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:27,150 we're doing is we're looking at the 213 00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:28,650 ultraviolet which we can see most 214 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:31,140 clearly in the nearby galaxies but in 215 00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:33,450 the far galaxies where the ultraviolet 216 00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:35,280 has been stretched to the visible or the 217 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:38,070 infrared we now have a calibration data 218 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:41,130 set of the nearby stuff took compared to 219 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:43,050 what these objects look like in the 220 00:09:47,060 --> 00:09:44,610 visible or the infrared which is really 221 00:09:49,490 --> 00:09:47,070 the ultraviolet for them because their 222 00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:49,500 light has been stretched so we now get a 223 00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:52,830 much better comparison of what these 224 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:54,690 distant galaxies might be looking like 225 00:09:59,560 --> 00:09:56,880 in the ultraviolet compared to this now 226 00:10:02,660 --> 00:09:59,570 this was just the announcement that the 227 00:10:05,210 --> 00:10:02,670 ultraviolet legacy Survey has completed 228 00:10:08,410 --> 00:10:05,220 their observations it's not the science 229 00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:08,420 results yet but it shows that Hubble is 230 00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:10,440 putting together what we call these 231 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:13,560 legacy projects these important datasets 232 00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:16,530 that only Hubble can do during its last 233 00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:18,120 year's because we know Hubble you know 234 00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:20,790 hopefully it'll last a long long time 235 00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:23,880 but while we've got a problem is working 236 00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:25,590 really really well we want to make sure 237 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:28,200 we get these legacy projects done that 238 00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:31,050 really cement I haven't read it said for 239 00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:34,740 astronomers to study in the future our 240 00:10:43,930 --> 00:10:40,230 second story the master retires there's 241 00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:43,940 been a gentleman his name is solavei and 242 00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:48,680 he has worked here for 35 years now 243 00:10:52,910 --> 00:10:51,420 those of you who do the math Hubble has 244 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:52,920 only been around for 28 years 245 00:10:59,510 --> 00:10:55,650 okay Zolt has been working here for 35 246 00:11:02,720 --> 00:10:59,520 years for the last 25 of them he has had 247 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:02,730 his hand in almost every single Hubble 248 00:11:06,770 --> 00:11:05,970 image you've ever seen he is I called 249 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:06,780 him the 250 00:11:10,820 --> 00:11:08,250 sir in terms of master attire he's 251 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:10,830 what's known his job title was master 252 00:11:17,090 --> 00:11:14,490 image processor so the look and feel of 253 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:17,100 all the Hubble images has gone through 254 00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:21,420 his computer for the last 25 years and 255 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:26,990 he has really put his stamp on it and he 256 00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:29,970 he's really well-loved around here but 257 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:33,060 he retired last Friday and we had a we 258 00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:36,330 had a big party for him for me it's 259 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:40,590 especially important because well he was 260 00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:43,290 part of our visualization team this is 261 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:45,660 the four of us holding a piece of IMAX 262 00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:47,970 film this is the former basically 263 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:50,940 working the IMAX film Hubble 3d and some 264 00:11:57,380 --> 00:11:53,490 of the test negatives from IMAX Hubble 265 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:57,390 3d and Zolt was a big part of it and so 266 00:12:01,850 --> 00:11:59,370 although I've worked with him for 17 267 00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:01,860 years I worked extremely closely with 268 00:12:08,210 --> 00:12:03,780 him for about the last 10 years on our 269 00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:08,220 visualization team and it he's a 270 00:12:13,450 --> 00:12:11,880 consummate professional and will truly 271 00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:13,460 he'll truly be missed 272 00:12:19,790 --> 00:12:17,550 what's he gonna do well he also not only 273 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:19,800 doing working with space images he also 274 00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:23,040 does nature photography this is an 275 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:25,140 exhibit that he had in Jackson Hole 276 00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:28,170 Wyoming which then came to Baltimore 277 00:12:33,380 --> 00:12:30,360 this summer called celestial terrestrial 278 00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:33,390 convergence where he's comparing a bit 279 00:12:37,940 --> 00:12:34,830 of the Carina Nebula here 280 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:37,950 to star trails over some rocks in Zion 281 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:40,890 National Park and it's the combination 282 00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:43,170 of the terrestrial photography that he 283 00:12:49,070 --> 00:12:46,740 does as well as the celestial imagery 284 00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:49,080 that he has processed that's part of 285 00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:51,000 this art exhibit and he's going to spend 286 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:53,310 a lot of his time now on the terrestrial 287 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:54,930 part of it working was asked from 288 00:13:00,050 --> 00:12:57,120 astrophotography as I said he's been 289 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:00,060 here for several decades and we just 290 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:04,170 wanted to wish him well and congratulate 291 00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:06,090 him on his success in the years past and 292 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:07,710 wish him well in the future 293 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:14,649 [Applause] 294 00:13:22,030 --> 00:13:17,570 all right our featured speaker tonight 295 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:22,040 is katie al italo who tells me she grew 296 00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:25,040 up in michigan and she stayed in 297 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:26,899 michigan for her undergraduate work 298 00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:30,050 going to university of michigan oh yeah 299 00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:32,060 she has to say go blue so I'll make sure 300 00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:33,260 that the people in the webcast can hear 301 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:36,470 that okay all right their arrival would 302 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:38,000 be Ohio State right 303 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:40,970 because I was at Michigan with Gus 304 00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:43,519 Everard and I was there during the week 305 00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:46,670 with the oh how I hate Ohio State you 306 00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:48,920 know going all over the place so that 307 00:13:53,170 --> 00:13:51,230 was one of the few things I remember 308 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:53,180 from that from that week or two I spent 309 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:57,050 there anyways Buckeye fans you know we 310 00:13:59,920 --> 00:13:57,680 love you too 311 00:14:04,480 --> 00:13:59,930 we just happen to have a Wolverine here 312 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:04,490 tonight she did her graduate work at the 313 00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:06,050 University of California Berkeley where 314 00:14:13,540 --> 00:14:08,720 I also did my PhD although separated by 315 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:13,550 just a few years and she came here last 316 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:19,760 April to work in the AI NS on what's the 317 00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:28,930 acronym here nears I and I are ISS 318 00:14:33,930 --> 00:14:31,700 spectroscope yes there we go I haven't 319 00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:33,940 gotten the AJ duis to the James Webb 320 00:14:39,730 --> 00:14:37,279 acronyms fully down yet but you know 321 00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:39,740 we'll get there oh and she's here to 322 00:14:50,260 --> 00:14:48,230 talk to us tonight all right 100 ways to 323 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:50,270 die in the universe ladies and gentlemen 324 00:14:58,819 --> 00:14:51,850 Katey Allah Tala 325 00:15:01,290 --> 00:14:58,829 [Applause] 326 00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:01,300 Frank with an intro like that I'm not 327 00:15:05,370 --> 00:15:03,519 entirely sure I'm going to need some of 328 00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:05,380 my slides thank you 329 00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:12,070 so yes I'm going to take a walk with you 330 00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:14,380 between through showdowns brawls and 331 00:15:20,009 --> 00:15:16,360 zombies and the life and death of 332 00:15:23,579 --> 00:15:20,019 galaxies so Frank has already actually 333 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:23,589 covered this this is me born and raised 334 00:15:29,389 --> 00:15:26,940 in Michigan at Wolverine a proud one 335 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:29,399 don't worry I do actually also 336 00:15:36,269 --> 00:15:32,399 appreciate people from Ohio State though 337 00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:36,279 there's one Saturday a year I might not 338 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:39,670 so much but don't worry I then went to 339 00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:41,769 California and spent a long time in 340 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:44,350 California and now here I am in the 341 00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:47,230 great state of Maryland I would call 342 00:15:52,829 --> 00:15:50,350 myself a galactic archaeologist if I 343 00:15:55,319 --> 00:15:52,839 were to put a name upon it I will say I 344 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:55,329 have never had to go into any caves and 345 00:15:59,730 --> 00:15:57,250 like switch things and dodge boulders 346 00:16:01,620 --> 00:15:59,740 but some of the things I've had to do 347 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:01,630 with radio telescopes we're a bit 348 00:16:07,850 --> 00:16:04,870 death-defying so you know maybe a little 349 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:07,860 bit Indiana Jones but not completely 350 00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:10,570 so again when I say galactic 351 00:16:15,449 --> 00:16:13,060 archaeologists what I mean is I studied 352 00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:15,459 galaxies I searched for the imprints of 353 00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:18,220 their past interactions on their 354 00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:22,959 present-day cells I look for I look 355 00:16:28,139 --> 00:16:25,510 through huge datasets looking for a 356 00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:28,149 special subset of galaxies that are 357 00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:33,279 dying right now and I use the size of 358 00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:35,380 the universe as a time machine to look 359 00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:37,180 at galaxies from ten billion years ago 360 00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:39,550 and the great news about the the news 361 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:42,550 today about the Hubble ultraviolet Ultra 362 00:16:47,309 --> 00:16:45,250 Deep Field is that that actually is one 363 00:16:49,889 --> 00:16:47,319 of the kinds of time machines I like to 364 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:49,899 use because of the fact that when you 365 00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:51,970 are looking at distant galaxies you're 366 00:16:59,430 --> 00:16:57,910 also looking at old galaxies but I guess 367 00:17:02,639 --> 00:16:59,440 we will actually start with a history 368 00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:02,649 lesson here I start with Sheldon Messier 369 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:05,350 in particular who was an astronomer and 370 00:17:10,110 --> 00:17:07,270 a lot of people know him as basically 371 00:17:13,470 --> 00:17:10,120 putting together a catalog of alien 372 00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:13,480 that is not failures in what they were 373 00:17:18,329 --> 00:17:15,910 because again he categorized some of the 374 00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:18,339 open star clusters globular clusters 375 00:17:24,449 --> 00:17:21,720 planetary nebula star-forming galaxies 376 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:24,459 star-forming nebula but it was mostly 377 00:17:30,450 --> 00:17:26,770 because he was looking for comets so to 378 00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:30,460 him he got new science out of a failed 379 00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:33,220 product that failed project was finding 380 00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:34,060 more comets 381 00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:37,620 because he said look it's not a comment 382 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:43,030 not a comment shoot not a comment but 383 00:17:47,910 --> 00:17:46,210 for us again his catalog is very 384 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:47,920 important because of some of the near 385 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:50,410 sky objects we can actually look at and 386 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:53,170 see in great detail sometimes we can see 387 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:55,210 them with our naked eye and sometimes it 388 00:18:03,060 --> 00:17:57,490 takes very little something like 389 00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:03,070 binoculars to actually see this but to 390 00:18:09,330 --> 00:18:06,910 me the actual start of understanding 391 00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:09,340 what the universe was came from this 392 00:18:14,790 --> 00:18:12,310 gentleman right here with his pipe Edwin 393 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:14,800 Hubble I think you might have heard that 394 00:18:19,770 --> 00:18:18,010 name this gentleman was the namesake and 395 00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:19,780 I was lucky enough when I was a 396 00:18:25,860 --> 00:18:23,440 postdoctoral hubbell fellow at Carnegie 397 00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:25,870 observatories I actually got to work at 398 00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:27,310 the place where Edwin Hubble did his 399 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:29,560 science which was pretty cool I got to 400 00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:32,290 see his office which now the director of 401 00:18:36,930 --> 00:18:34,870 Carnegie observatories uses and I 402 00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:36,940 actually got to see this which is a 403 00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:40,030 plate taken by Edwin Hubble of the 404 00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:42,400 Andromeda galaxy where that up there 405 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,350 that red bar is Edwin Hubble's 406 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:46,720 handwriting because he found a variable 407 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:49,810 star in the Andromeda galaxy which told 408 00:18:57,180 --> 00:18:51,970 him that the universe was beyond the 409 00:18:59,670 --> 00:18:57,190 Milky Way so not only did he discover 410 00:19:02,160 --> 00:18:59,680 this he actually also put together 411 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:02,170 something that we use today for galaxies 412 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:04,000 which is he put together the Hubble 413 00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:07,570 sequence of galaxies so here's the paper 414 00:19:16,170 --> 00:19:13,150 from I think this was in 1923 maybe 1926 415 00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:16,180 the classification employed is based on 416 00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:18,280 the forms of the photographic images 417 00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:20,740 about 3% are irregular but the remaining 418 00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:21,670 nebula 419 00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:24,340 fall into a sequence of type forms 420 00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:26,350 characterized by rotational symmetry 421 00:19:31,650 --> 00:19:29,320 about dominating nuclei the sequence is 422 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:31,660 composed of two sections the elliptical 423 00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:34,480 navilet and the spirals which merge into 424 00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:38,110 each other so here is what the Hubble 425 00:19:43,410 --> 00:19:40,270 sequence actually looks like in modern 426 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:43,420 times here is a really nice version of 427 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:46,090 it made in part but the help of the of 428 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:48,910 the Zooniverse but let me show you what 429 00:19:58,650 --> 00:19:51,760 Edwin Hubble published in 1926 in this 430 00:20:02,370 --> 00:19:58,660 book 1926 folks I think he did a pretty 431 00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:02,380 good job now he accidentally flipped the 432 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:04,600 order he thought that the elliptical 433 00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:06,810 galaxies were the ones that morphed into 434 00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:12,100 the spiral galaxies but that is all that 435 00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:15,100 he got wrong because as I said as I 436 00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:20,470 showed you just previously right pretty 437 00:20:28,530 --> 00:20:27,070 good so as I've once said in that 438 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:28,540 original paper the Hubble sequence 439 00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:31,600 breaks in two types over here you have 440 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:34,390 spirals and over here you have early 441 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:37,210 type galaxies now again early type is an 442 00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:39,010 old-fashioned nomenclature coming 443 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:40,600 originally from that Edwin Hubble 444 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:42,490 mistake which we still use today 445 00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:45,130 - unfortunately confuse the public as 446 00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:47,230 well as our students but early type 447 00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:49,360 galaxies are actually the old galaxies 448 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:52,600 so a typical spiral is disky it has 449 00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:55,090 spiral structure it's blue in color and 450 00:21:01,050 --> 00:20:58,690 it's forming stars early types actually 451 00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:01,060 break into two different types you have 452 00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:02,980 typical ellipticals and lenticular x' 453 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:06,190 this is a lenticular galaxy this is an 454 00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:08,530 elliptical galaxy the thing that 455 00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:11,200 differentiates an elliptical or an early 456 00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:13,030 type but when an elliptical and 457 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:15,460 lenticular slash early type galaxy from 458 00:21:22,410 --> 00:21:17,710 a spiral is actually that it lacks that 459 00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:22,420 spiral structure so in the sense the 460 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:26,020 smooth structure is what classifies you 461 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:29,650 as an early type galaxy lenticular ZAR 462 00:21:33,970 --> 00:21:31,570 disk a ellipticals are ellipsoidal 463 00:21:39,970 --> 00:21:33,980 they're reading color 464 00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:39,980 and their non star-forming so again we 465 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:42,080 break it down spirals are blue 466 00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:43,850 they've destructure visible spiral 467 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:47,030 spiral arms star forming and right now 468 00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:49,280 77 percent of the galaxies in the sky 469 00:21:56,860 --> 00:21:52,910 are spirals blue star forming again this 470 00:21:58,690 --> 00:21:56,870 is typical ellipticals are read their 471 00:22:01,539 --> 00:21:58,700 lips swollen structures with light 472 00:22:03,669 --> 00:22:01,549 distribution quiescent which basically 473 00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:03,679 just means non star forming my accent 474 00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:05,720 means quiet so if I slip into 475 00:22:09,490 --> 00:22:07,460 astronomers speak I just wanted to make 476 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:09,500 sure when I use the word pious that you 477 00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:11,090 know what it means they tend to be more 478 00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:16,640 massive why is it that I keep saying the 479 00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:18,590 word star farming when I'm talking about 480 00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:21,440 blue and I keep saying things like quiet 481 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:24,440 when I talk about red the colors of 482 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:28,010 galaxies for the most part save for dust 483 00:22:33,070 --> 00:22:30,530 which is actually important come from 484 00:22:36,370 --> 00:22:33,080 the colors of the stars that the galaxy 485 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:36,380 is comprised of so a stellar population 486 00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:38,570 a young stellar population again 487 00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:41,870 something frank said earlier is blue 488 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:44,990 it's coming from young hot rock star 489 00:22:51,730 --> 00:22:47,450 stars that are going to live hard rock 490 00:22:53,770 --> 00:22:51,740 hard and die young because they are 491 00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:53,780 burning up their star forming fuel so 492 00:22:59,799 --> 00:22:56,030 fast they get very hot in temperature 493 00:23:03,549 --> 00:22:59,809 and that temperature makes them blue on 494 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:03,559 the other hand older younger older 495 00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:07,010 smaller stars are red in color like that 496 00:23:11,230 --> 00:23:09,380 which is why elliptical galaxies would 497 00:23:12,850 --> 00:23:11,240 have a lot more of these stars that have 498 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:12,860 been taking it easy their whole lives 499 00:23:20,409 --> 00:23:16,250 not really big burning their hydrogen 500 00:23:22,060 --> 00:23:20,419 sort of at a low level it's why these 501 00:23:24,430 --> 00:23:22,070 galaxies are red because they're cooler 502 00:23:27,669 --> 00:23:24,440 which means they can last longer and 503 00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:27,679 they're older the reason this works in 504 00:23:33,789 --> 00:23:30,320 the galaxies is because these blue hot 505 00:23:35,950 --> 00:23:33,799 stars are so dominant to the light in 506 00:23:39,010 --> 00:23:35,960 the galaxy that even if you have a lot 507 00:23:40,690 --> 00:23:39,020 of these older red stars in your galaxy 508 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:40,700 the second you have blue stars or 509 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:46,010 galaxies gonna look blue so 510 00:23:50,350 --> 00:23:48,770 when I talk about star formation I also 511 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:50,360 kind of want to tell you what I mean 512 00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:52,730 because again we're having to get into 513 00:23:58,150 --> 00:23:54,260 the murder mysteries of what kills 514 00:24:00,220 --> 00:23:58,160 galaxies so when I observe star 515 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:00,230 formation what you're usually looking at 516 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:02,450 is a hot young new least form star 517 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:04,850 cluster and around that star cluster is 518 00:24:10,539 --> 00:24:07,490 all of these clouds these parent clouds 519 00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:10,549 that created these stars and what you 520 00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:13,910 see is you see this hydrogen and this 521 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:16,520 dust that is reradiating that hot 522 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:19,760 ultraviolet light that hydrogen is now 523 00:24:25,810 --> 00:24:23,049 getting is now getting irradiated and is 524 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,820 reradiating that's in the optical from 525 00:24:29,289 --> 00:24:26,960 h2 regions 526 00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:29,299 h2 roman numeral rather than h2 527 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:32,510 subscript and the dust grains where 528 00:24:36,789 --> 00:24:34,610 again this they're absorbing this 529 00:24:39,850 --> 00:24:36,799 ultraviolet light from these new hot 530 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:39,860 young stars is getting reradiating in 531 00:24:46,299 --> 00:24:44,210 the infrared so when you think about how 532 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:46,309 to tell if a galaxy is forming stars you 533 00:24:49,450 --> 00:24:48,320 now know that they're blue in color but 534 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:49,460 you also now know that there might be 535 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:51,410 some other signatures for instance you 536 00:24:58,090 --> 00:24:54,049 might see these hydrogen lines or you 537 00:24:59,799 --> 00:24:58,100 might see dust and on top of that you 538 00:25:05,860 --> 00:24:59,809 want to look for things like this that's 539 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:05,870 h2 gas so when we look up in the sky we 540 00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:09,370 see this well I should point out from 541 00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:11,720 Maryland for a while unfortunately we 542 00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:14,480 haven't been seeing this we've been 543 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:16,400 seeing a lot of clouds getting a little 544 00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:19,130 rain in our faces in Los Angeles where 545 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:21,830 usually it is pretty dry I will say we 546 00:25:27,340 --> 00:25:23,600 did not see this we saw a lot of city 547 00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:27,350 lights but if we're very lucky and we go 548 00:25:30,970 --> 00:25:29,030 out into the desert when we go to a 549 00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:30,980 place that's low light we could 550 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,470 potentially see this my favorite place 551 00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:35,120 to see this is probably the Chilean 552 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:36,950 desert but you don't need to get to the 553 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:38,450 Chilean desert to see it you could see 554 00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:40,730 this in Wyoming and on particularly dark 555 00:25:48,220 --> 00:25:45,640 nights in Michigan but that's not what 556 00:25:50,409 --> 00:25:48,230 everything everyone sees when they look 557 00:25:52,060 --> 00:25:50,419 at the Milky Way it's when our eye see 558 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:52,070 because our eyes process optical light 559 00:25:57,730 --> 00:25:54,890 but our telescopes and our instruments 560 00:26:00,430 --> 00:25:57,740 give us a much greater picture of what 561 00:26:02,350 --> 00:26:00,440 the Milky Way is we know what the Milky 562 00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:02,360 Way looks like in gamma rays x-rays 563 00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:04,870 optical near-infrared mid infrared 564 00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:08,120 infrared molecular hydrogen radio 565 00:26:15,399 --> 00:26:11,870 continuum atomic hydrogen and even lower 566 00:26:17,169 --> 00:26:15,409 frequency radio continuum and the reason 567 00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:17,179 astronomers like to do this is because 568 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:19,400 each one of these can tell us something 569 00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:20,960 a little bit different about the 570 00:26:27,070 --> 00:26:22,460 universe a little bit different about 571 00:26:29,169 --> 00:26:27,080 our world so the ones I think about or I 572 00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:29,179 like to think about this one I like to 573 00:26:35,230 --> 00:26:31,460 think about where the molecular hydrogen 574 00:26:37,299 --> 00:26:35,240 is where the cold dense gases because 575 00:26:38,649 --> 00:26:37,309 where the cold dense gases that's 576 00:26:40,090 --> 00:26:38,659 actually where you're gonna find your 577 00:26:42,130 --> 00:26:40,100 stellar nurseries that's where you're 578 00:26:44,169 --> 00:26:42,140 going to find the places that you are 579 00:26:47,169 --> 00:26:44,179 birthing new stars and keeping your 580 00:26:52,299 --> 00:26:47,179 galaxies blue and vibrant and star 581 00:26:54,490 --> 00:26:52,309 forming how we see these different 582 00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:54,500 wavelengths is with a lot of really cool 583 00:27:00,850 --> 00:26:58,490 telescopes I obviously have not seen all 584 00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:00,860 of these in person given that this is in 585 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:04,600 space and I am NOT an astronaut but 586 00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:07,850 astronomers get to use an incredible set 587 00:27:12,490 --> 00:27:10,400 of tools with which we can actually look 588 00:27:13,780 --> 00:27:12,500 at these different wavelengths to 589 00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:13,790 understand different things about the 590 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:17,990 universe how do we find star formation 591 00:27:25,649 --> 00:27:21,770 well one thing we can look at is the 592 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:25,659 ultraviolet this is the Whirlpool Galaxy 593 00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:29,600 this is done by Galax there are images 594 00:27:33,549 --> 00:27:31,159 of this with Hubble that are 595 00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:33,559 significantly better than this but 596 00:27:37,539 --> 00:27:35,390 because ultraviolet light is coming 597 00:27:39,340 --> 00:27:37,549 again from very hot very young stars 598 00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:39,350 you're able to trace our formation with 599 00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:43,270 it you can also trace it in H alpha 600 00:27:47,289 --> 00:27:45,350 again I can think back to that little 601 00:27:50,409 --> 00:27:47,299 diagram I showed you one of the things 602 00:27:52,299 --> 00:27:50,419 that these hot stars do is they radiate 603 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:52,309 the gas that is around them and that gas 604 00:27:57,549 --> 00:27:55,330 being radiated will re radiate that 605 00:28:02,139 --> 00:27:57,559 ultraviolet light that it that it's 606 00:28:06,850 --> 00:28:02,149 absorbed in line-in lines including the 607 00:28:09,130 --> 00:28:06,860 H alpha line and finally 608 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:09,140 you can see star formation and dust this 609 00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:11,809 image being an image of the Whirlpool 610 00:28:15,940 --> 00:28:13,910 Galaxy from Herschel and what you can 611 00:28:17,710 --> 00:28:15,950 see here is again where you have those 612 00:28:20,110 --> 00:28:17,720 those gas envelopes that are around 613 00:28:22,539 --> 00:28:20,120 those stars you also have dust and the 614 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:22,549 dust is taking those ultraviolet photons 615 00:28:32,289 --> 00:28:27,410 and reradiating it as well okay that's 616 00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:32,299 great but what about the fuel how do you 617 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:34,880 form those stars we now know that you 618 00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:36,650 can look at ultraviolet light you can 619 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:38,870 look at optical light to some degree you 620 00:28:42,669 --> 00:28:41,210 can look at spectra you can look at dust 621 00:28:44,950 --> 00:28:42,679 and you can find where the stars are 622 00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:44,960 actually forming well what if you don't 623 00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:47,270 want to just think about the the product 624 00:28:52,299 --> 00:28:48,350 what if you want to think about the 625 00:28:54,430 --> 00:28:52,309 source well where you see young stars 626 00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:54,440 you have to have fuel that is forming 627 00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:57,440 the young stars so first thing you do is 628 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:00,880 you look at where the young stars are 629 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:03,530 you can also look where the dust is 630 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:06,080 because again the dust is in those 631 00:29:15,130 --> 00:29:08,530 envelopes those whole pockets of gas 632 00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:15,140 with that gas reradiating and finally 633 00:29:23,860 --> 00:29:20,480 you can look at the molecular gas in 634 00:29:29,049 --> 00:29:23,870 order to form a star you need to be in 635 00:29:30,940 --> 00:29:29,059 gas that is both dense and cold because 636 00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:30,950 it has to be dense because you need it 637 00:29:37,390 --> 00:29:34,750 to be able to overcome gravity and 638 00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:37,400 collapse upon itself to form that star 639 00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:40,190 and the thing about hydrogen is you're 640 00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:42,710 not going to find hydrogen just atoms of 641 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:44,540 hydrogen in places where you don't have 642 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:47,090 cold gas you need to find molecular 643 00:29:52,780 --> 00:29:50,720 hydrogen so molecular hydrogen makes up 644 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:52,790 about 70% of the mass in our universe 645 00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:55,370 and this also I guess it's not molecular 646 00:29:59,380 --> 00:29:57,200 hydrogen make 70% of the mass every 647 00:30:02,350 --> 00:29:59,390 universe molecular hydrogen is where you 648 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:02,360 form stars there's this problem with 649 00:30:09,610 --> 00:30:06,130 hydrogen the problem with hydrogen is 650 00:30:12,370 --> 00:30:09,620 what it is trying to radiate when its 651 00:30:15,130 --> 00:30:12,380 spinning it doesn't have a dipole moment 652 00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:15,140 that means that it's really really hard 653 00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:20,140 to detect it directly but it has 654 00:30:26,910 --> 00:30:24,280 neighbor and I know in our world carbon 655 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:26,920 monoxide is not so great but for radio 656 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:30,330 astronomers this is a wonderful molecule 657 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:32,890 it's wonderful because it forms in 658 00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:34,810 exactly the same environments that you 659 00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:37,600 find molecular hydrogen that is if the 660 00:30:41,070 --> 00:30:39,160 conditions are right to form molecular 661 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:41,080 hydrogen the conditions are right to 662 00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:44,080 make stars the conditions are also right 663 00:30:48,150 --> 00:30:46,750 to form carbon monoxide carbon and 664 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:48,160 oxygen are also two of the first 665 00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:51,130 molecules of formed in stars so really 666 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:52,870 early on in the universe you had plenty 667 00:30:56,850 --> 00:30:54,450 of carbon and you had plenty of oxygen 668 00:30:59,940 --> 00:30:56,860 but the thing about this molecule that's 669 00:31:03,810 --> 00:30:59,950 even better is that carbon and oxygen 670 00:31:06,510 --> 00:31:03,820 have a big dipole moment so the second 671 00:31:08,790 --> 00:31:06,520 they start rotating they radiate and we 672 00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:08,800 can pick that up we can pick that up in 673 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:12,790 radio telescopes so despite the fact 674 00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:14,050 that unfortunately the thing we would 675 00:31:19,410 --> 00:31:16,110 want to detect most molecular hydrogen 676 00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:19,420 sort of out of our reach carbon monoxide 677 00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:21,700 is not and it is best friends and 678 00:31:30,050 --> 00:31:24,840 neighbors with that molecular hydrogen 679 00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:30,060 so we use radio telescopes for it 680 00:31:35,610 --> 00:31:33,550 carbon monoxide is brightest at a 681 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:35,620 frequency of about one hundred fifty one 682 00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:37,150 hundred fifteen point two seven one two 683 00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:40,030 oh two gigahertz yes I've had to type 684 00:31:43,620 --> 00:31:41,590 that number into a lot of programs to 685 00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:43,630 process data which is why I remember too 686 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:45,790 that many significant figures but the 687 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:47,530 idea is this is something that you can 688 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,530 see in in radio and with radio 689 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:52,080 telescopes you're actually able to 690 00:31:57,510 --> 00:31:55,690 monitor it this video was taken of 691 00:31:58,770 --> 00:31:57,520 unfortunately the now-defunct combined 692 00:32:01,800 --> 00:31:58,780 array for research and millimeter 693 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:01,810 astronomy which was in the which was in 694 00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:04,000 the desert just outside of Mammoth Lakes 695 00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:07,150 in California and Carmel was a great 696 00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:09,910 instrument for finding carbon monoxide 697 00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:12,070 in galaxies and thus finding molecular 698 00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:13,900 hydrogen and just finding star forming 699 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:16,960 fuel and now even better is in the 700 00:32:23,010 --> 00:32:20,170 Atacama Desert it all my husband has 701 00:32:25,230 --> 00:32:23,020 been out there doing incredibly 702 00:32:26,910 --> 00:32:25,240 incredible revolutionary things where 703 00:32:29,340 --> 00:32:26,920 it's being able to find carbon monoxide 704 00:32:33,140 --> 00:32:29,350 not only in nearby neighbor galaxies but 705 00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:36,080 so what does this all mean I've not told 706 00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:39,110 you about how I like to observe stars 707 00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:43,110 stars forming old stars young stars red 708 00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:46,230 stars green stars blue stars and I've 709 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:47,340 told you how I wanted to look at the 710 00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:48,930 star forming gaps 711 00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:51,480 well what do you have to do to see a 712 00:33:03,160 --> 00:32:54,900 galaxy March from this vibrant spiral 713 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:06,560 we've thought of a few ways and like 714 00:33:10,820 --> 00:33:08,970 I'll say maybe like galaxy evolution 715 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:10,830 astronomers are some of the most macabre 716 00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:13,410 astronomers but I like thinking about 717 00:33:19,010 --> 00:33:16,260 this even if it's just to think about 718 00:33:21,169 --> 00:33:19,020 how to prevent it so if you're a spiral 719 00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:21,179 galaxy how do you become an elliptical 720 00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:23,940 how do you lose the ability to form 721 00:33:29,210 --> 00:33:26,040 those new young stars how do you lose 722 00:33:31,070 --> 00:33:29,220 that star forming fuel you can fall into 723 00:33:33,049 --> 00:33:31,080 a cluster you can go through a merger 724 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:33,059 you can be in a Galaxy group you can 725 00:33:37,460 --> 00:33:36,330 have death by black hole and galaxies 726 00:33:40,490 --> 00:33:37,470 shapes which I don't think I will talk 727 00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:40,500 about today don't worry I will talk 728 00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:44,400 about most of these so death by 729 00:33:52,490 --> 00:33:46,550 strangulation ie 730 00:33:55,790 --> 00:33:52,500 falling into a cluster galaxy clusters 731 00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:55,800 are huge conglomerates of a lot of 732 00:34:00,650 --> 00:33:57,720 galaxies that are in basically a big 733 00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:00,660 pocket of hot gas this represents our 734 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:03,660 hot cluster x-ray gas and because of the 735 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:05,010 fact that they are gravitational 736 00:34:09,139 --> 00:34:07,170 sinkholes galaxies that are near 737 00:34:12,649 --> 00:34:09,149 clusters are pretty much doomed to 738 00:34:15,770 --> 00:34:12,659 become part of the clusters so 739 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:15,780 unfortunately this little guy galaxy has 740 00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:18,090 been caught by the cluster is now 741 00:34:24,290 --> 00:34:21,600 falling into the cluster gas when it 742 00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:24,300 falls into this Ram pressure stripping 743 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:26,159 actually starts to strip all of that 744 00:34:31,389 --> 00:34:28,530 nice star forming fuel out of the galaxy 745 00:34:33,889 --> 00:34:31,399 and it pulls the gas out of the system 746 00:34:35,869 --> 00:34:33,899 without the gas unfortunately for that 747 00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:35,879 galaxy it's not going to be forming 748 00:34:39,290 --> 00:34:37,260 stars so it's not going to be blue 749 00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:39,300 anymore because all of a sudden those 750 00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:42,800 yellow and red sort of easygoing stars 751 00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:45,780 start to dominate the light in the Gow 752 00:34:52,850 --> 00:34:48,030 lexy and to us the galaxy actually looks 753 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:52,860 green and then finally upon losing all 754 00:34:59,540 --> 00:34:56,490 of its gas the galaxy stops being able 755 00:35:01,820 --> 00:34:59,550 to form stars at all and it becomes red 756 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:01,830 and dead it fades into becoming red 757 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:04,320 where again the only stars you're seeing 758 00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:08,090 in it now are those older easygoing 759 00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:11,160 smaller stars that are ten billion years 760 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:13,800 old as opposed to those young supernova 761 00:35:18,830 --> 00:35:15,930 rock star stars which are going to die 762 00:35:22,610 --> 00:35:18,840 and about 50 million years ten million 763 00:35:24,380 --> 00:35:22,620 years they don't last long and just in 764 00:35:28,610 --> 00:35:24,390 case you wonder if we've ever observed 765 00:35:31,370 --> 00:35:28,620 this we have we've actually seen this 766 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:31,380 process taking place I don't know 767 00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:32,370 whether you can see these little 768 00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:37,110 filaments here but those are actually 769 00:35:40,910 --> 00:35:39,180 the places that the gas is being 770 00:35:43,220 --> 00:35:40,920 stripped out of that galaxy is that 771 00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:43,230 galaxy falls into a cluster we call them 772 00:35:49,060 --> 00:35:46,080 jellyfish galaxies who said astronomers 773 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:49,070 are not creative in their naming schemes 774 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:51,930 so it's why when you look at a cluster 775 00:35:59,720 --> 00:35:56,730 like this most of what you see is are 776 00:36:01,490 --> 00:35:59,730 these red and dead galaxies now there's 777 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:01,500 something fairly special about clusters 778 00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:03,090 is that you actually get to magnify 779 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:05,340 background galaxies but for the most 780 00:36:10,070 --> 00:36:06,720 part the galaxies that are in this 781 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:10,080 cluster have had all of their star 782 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:13,650 forming fuel gone they have not been 783 00:36:16,850 --> 00:36:15,450 able to form new stars those new stars 784 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:16,860 have not been able to turn return the 785 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:18,930 galaxies to looking blue so those 786 00:36:31,370 --> 00:36:24,890 galaxies now look Brett death by battle 787 00:36:33,470 --> 00:36:31,380 mergers and interactions so let's say 788 00:36:36,340 --> 00:36:33,480 you take two equal mass progenitors 789 00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:36,350 progenitors just means original galaxies 790 00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:38,790 either spirals that are elliptical so 791 00:36:43,250 --> 00:36:41,160 you let them encounter each other their 792 00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:43,260 murder is gonna produce an elliptical 793 00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:47,310 galaxy and the colliding galaxies have 794 00:36:52,430 --> 00:36:50,910 explosions of star formation but in 795 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:52,440 those explosions of star formation they 796 00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:54,330 basically use up their gas really 797 00:36:59,240 --> 00:36:57,960 quickly so this is a simulation done by 798 00:37:01,550 --> 00:36:59,250 Phil Hopkins 799 00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:01,560 which shows a video of what this process 800 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:03,900 looks like now I should point out up 801 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:06,690 here you can see the time scale one gig 802 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:08,970 a year so unfortunately for us we don't 803 00:37:26,220 --> 00:37:10,770 get to watch this fireworks show in real 804 00:37:33,030 --> 00:37:29,640 as you saw we started with two disk 805 00:37:34,859 --> 00:37:33,040 galaxies this is not looking so disc II 806 00:37:36,330 --> 00:37:34,869 anymore is it does it have spiral 807 00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:36,340 structure that thing that tells us 808 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:38,470 whether or not we consider it a spiral 809 00:37:45,390 --> 00:37:42,730 galaxy not so much there is still a dust 810 00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:45,400 line because again we just smashed to 811 00:37:49,740 --> 00:37:47,950 gas rich galaxies into each other but 812 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:49,750 slowly but surely that dust is being 813 00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:54,730 consumed by star formation and the thing 814 00:38:00,300 --> 00:37:58,480 that's great about this is that we know 815 00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:00,310 what we know what we think we should see 816 00:38:05,220 --> 00:38:02,680 again you just saw the simulation and we 817 00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:05,230 see this in the real world when we look 818 00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:09,880 at galaxies we see absolutely beautiful 819 00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:11,950 images of galaxies as they're colliding 820 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:13,960 with one another you see the explosions 821 00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:16,330 of their star formation and again you 822 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:17,740 see them at all different stages 823 00:38:26,970 --> 00:38:24,130 thank you Hubble so why is it 824 00:38:29,010 --> 00:38:26,980 that's colliding these two galaxies you 825 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:29,020 know that how pop gas they're exploding 826 00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:31,570 their star formation for a while why is 827 00:38:38,430 --> 00:38:33,670 it that they turn into this red and dead 828 00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:38,440 galaxies what has to do with gas so I'm 829 00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:40,750 playing the same movie again but this 830 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:42,190 time I'm showing you two images I'm 831 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:44,170 showing you the one that if we were you 832 00:38:47,849 --> 00:38:46,090 know omniscient energy creatures who 833 00:38:49,730 --> 00:38:47,859 lived for billions and billions of years 834 00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:49,740 we might be able to see in real time 835 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:51,790 unfortunately for you and me that is not 836 00:38:55,770 --> 00:38:53,890 the case and over here I'm actually 837 00:38:57,330 --> 00:38:55,780 showing what would happen if you had 838 00:39:00,030 --> 00:38:57,340 eyes that could look at the gas in the 839 00:39:03,030 --> 00:39:00,040 galaxies the hot gas that is gas that is 840 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:03,040 traced by x-rays the warm gas which is 841 00:39:09,570 --> 00:39:05,170 traced by things like ionized gas and 842 00:39:11,099 --> 00:39:09,580 again the cold gas that blue gas is the 843 00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:11,109 most important gas in this system 844 00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:12,910 because that's the gas it's forming 845 00:39:18,450 --> 00:39:15,910 stars and what you can see is as this 846 00:39:19,859 --> 00:39:18,460 merger keeps going on yes you're getting 847 00:39:23,490 --> 00:39:19,869 these little explosions of star 848 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:23,500 formation but all of a sudden all of 849 00:39:28,620 --> 00:39:26,170 that warm and cold gas now you're seeing 850 00:39:30,690 --> 00:39:28,630 is really either concentrated in the 851 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:30,700 very center as it's forming more stars 852 00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:34,090 and just finishing off but mostly it's 853 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:36,730 becoming hot gas and unfortunately for 854 00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:37,850 star 855 00:39:46,170 --> 00:39:45,560 actually happens here why does it happen 856 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:46,180 like that 857 00:39:53,470 --> 00:39:50,410 well I have a handy-dandy schematic here 858 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:53,480 first you have your isolated disks you 859 00:39:57,070 --> 00:39:55,370 go through the first interaction there's 860 00:39:59,050 --> 00:39:57,080 a coalescence that is when the two 861 00:40:02,530 --> 00:39:59,060 galaxies finding smoosh into each other 862 00:40:04,810 --> 00:40:02,540 there's a gas blowout phase a quasar 863 00:40:07,090 --> 00:40:04,820 phase which might be previewing till the 864 00:40:09,550 --> 00:40:07,100 next part of my talk once the quasar 865 00:40:11,530 --> 00:40:09,560 phase has removed all the gas you get to 866 00:40:13,950 --> 00:40:11,540 the decay slash of dying phase that is 867 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:13,960 the post starburst phase until 868 00:40:25,930 --> 00:40:16,970 inevitably you march into the run and 869 00:40:28,390 --> 00:40:25,940 dead face death by melee so we've now 870 00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:28,400 talked about clusters which is hundreds 871 00:40:32,530 --> 00:40:30,560 of galaxies and one galaxy falling into 872 00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:32,540 that and being doomed to lose all of its 873 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:34,640 gas we've talked about a pair of 874 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:36,410 galaxies having a battle to the death 875 00:40:41,020 --> 00:40:38,480 for their gas now we're going to talk 876 00:40:42,730 --> 00:40:41,030 about something right in between the fun 877 00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:42,740 thing about the right in-between for 878 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:44,990 astronomers is it's actually one of the 879 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:47,570 most complicated things to model because 880 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:49,250 the two galaxies you can kind of model 881 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:51,770 together a really big massive cluster 882 00:40:55,740 --> 00:40:53,570 can actually be modeled as just that one 883 00:40:58,510 --> 00:40:55,750 little dinky galaxy and the big cluster 884 00:41:00,280 --> 00:40:58,520 unfortunately this galaxy doesn't just 885 00:41:02,020 --> 00:41:00,290 care about that galaxy this galaxy cares 886 00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:02,030 about that galaxy and this galaxy and 887 00:41:08,740 --> 00:41:06,590 that galaxy in that galaxy so when we 888 00:41:11,020 --> 00:41:08,750 say compact group because we're 889 00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:11,030 astronomers the first way we actually 890 00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:13,400 define this like that when Hubble was a 891 00:41:17,740 --> 00:41:15,440 small relatively isolated system of 892 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:17,750 typically four or five galaxies in close 893 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:20,330 proximity to one another when Paul 894 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:23,090 Hickson actually did this he was not 895 00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:25,130 looking at spectra he was not comparing 896 00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:26,240 redshifts you did not have 897 00:41:31,390 --> 00:41:28,100 three-dimensional information on these 898 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:31,400 galaxies he had images and from those 899 00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:32,930 images he basically looked at places 900 00:41:36,340 --> 00:41:34,730 where he saw a few galaxies that were 901 00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:36,350 close to each other and then he 902 00:41:40,450 --> 00:41:38,720 carefully calculated the brightnesses of 903 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:40,460 those galaxies to see if they were 904 00:41:45,580 --> 00:41:42,530 pretty much as bright as each other and 905 00:41:47,620 --> 00:41:45,590 he came up with a list of 100 compact 906 00:41:49,780 --> 00:41:47,630 groups which we now call Hicks and 907 00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:49,790 compact groups and of those 100 I think 908 00:41:53,020 --> 00:41:50,870 that 90 909 00:41:55,300 --> 00:41:53,030 three of them when we went back and took 910 00:41:57,810 --> 00:41:55,310 spectra so that we had their distances 911 00:42:00,010 --> 00:41:57,820 we found to actually be correctly 912 00:42:01,870 --> 00:42:00,020 identified as compact groups that were 913 00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:01,880 together so I think that's pretty good 914 00:42:07,330 --> 00:42:05,200 for somebody having just you know images 915 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:07,340 they have a high fraction of dead 916 00:42:12,970 --> 00:42:09,680 galaxies they have evidence of tidal 917 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:12,980 interactions and again the high density 918 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:15,770 means they have lots and lots and lots 919 00:42:19,390 --> 00:42:17,690 of interactions with each other they get 920 00:42:21,610 --> 00:42:19,400 the worst of both worlds 921 00:42:23,050 --> 00:42:21,620 there's hot gas in those systems so 922 00:42:24,910 --> 00:42:23,060 they're getting that hot gas dripping 923 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:24,920 away some of their gas and they're also 924 00:42:29,530 --> 00:42:26,690 having interaction after interaction 925 00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:29,540 after interaction which is again pulling 926 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:32,000 it they're pulling their gas away from 927 00:42:37,210 --> 00:42:35,330 them so they start as a loose group at 928 00:42:39,250 --> 00:42:37,220 some point they become a compact group 929 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:39,260 the star formation fuels starts to be 930 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:41,090 dispersed again when you have an 931 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:42,770 interaction a lot of your cold gas 932 00:42:47,710 --> 00:42:44,930 starts being being heated and becoming 933 00:42:49,180 --> 00:42:47,720 part of that hot gas halo the galaxies 934 00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:49,190 evolve into ellipticals and lenticular 935 00:42:57,810 --> 00:42:52,880 x' again a big extra gas bubbles is 936 00:43:00,130 --> 00:42:57,820 shown and maybe we're not sure but maybe 937 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:00,140 compact groups can actually make giant 938 00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:02,690 ellipticals most of the time when we see 939 00:43:06,370 --> 00:43:04,700 the ultra massive elliptical galaxies 940 00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:06,380 those are the ultra big red and dead 941 00:43:11,860 --> 00:43:08,390 galaxies we see them in the center of 942 00:43:13,780 --> 00:43:11,870 clusters but once in a while you 943 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:13,790 actually find these very rare things in 944 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:15,770 the field that is not around these big 945 00:43:19,630 --> 00:43:17,810 hundred galaxy clusters but by 946 00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:19,640 themselves and so one of the big 947 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:21,440 questions we've asked is how do they get 948 00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:23,690 there and it looks like it's very 949 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:25,790 possible that these compact groups are 950 00:43:35,260 --> 00:43:30,250 one of the ways to do it again 951 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:35,270 death by black hole which we call a GN 952 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:42,050 feedback so I can't help this this is my 953 00:43:49,860 --> 00:43:45,410 favorite galaxy I was a graduate student 954 00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:49,870 when this galaxy appeared in my life and 955 00:43:56,350 --> 00:43:53,710 it was super weird which is both 956 00:43:59,500 --> 00:43:56,360 wonderful and terrible for a graduate 957 00:44:03,600 --> 00:43:59,510 student especially one as stubborn as I 958 00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:03,610 am because again from 959 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:05,710 picture you're seeing it it doesn't look 960 00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:09,010 all that interesting but it was a 961 00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:11,470 mystery that all of these different 962 00:44:16,410 --> 00:44:12,910 things were happening in it that were 963 00:44:19,230 --> 00:44:16,420 very very hard to explain again it's a 964 00:44:23,310 --> 00:44:19,240 treasure but it's also a Pandora's box 965 00:44:25,890 --> 00:44:23,320 and I bought it hook line and sinker and 966 00:44:27,780 --> 00:44:25,900 said okay I am going to learn why this 967 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:27,790 galaxy is doing the things this galaxy 968 00:44:34,380 --> 00:44:31,450 is doing so one of the first things I 969 00:44:38,550 --> 00:44:34,390 did is I took a picture I managed to 970 00:44:40,620 --> 00:44:38,560 convince the scientists who determine 971 00:44:41,490 --> 00:44:40,630 what Hubble is going to look at to look 972 00:44:45,690 --> 00:44:41,500 at it for me 973 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:45,700 and luckily for me the little graduate 974 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:48,490 student they said yes so again let's go 975 00:44:53,550 --> 00:44:51,250 back to this picture this is NGC 1266 976 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:53,560 taken from the ground with a really good 977 00:44:59,850 --> 00:44:56,050 ground-based telescope in the optical 978 00:45:03,000 --> 00:44:59,860 with really deep observations and this 979 00:45:04,770 --> 00:45:03,010 is what Hubble showed us so yes this is 980 00:45:07,590 --> 00:45:04,780 a non photoshopped version 981 00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:07,600 I'm very sad Zoltan Levay has retired 982 00:45:12,030 --> 00:45:09,460 because I can just imagine how beautiful 983 00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:12,040 this would be with results incredible 984 00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:14,950 image processing mastery but instead of 985 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:17,350 just seeing this kind of amorphous blob 986 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:19,210 maybe a little bit bright in the middle 987 00:45:23,790 --> 00:45:22,090 maybe a little bit weird you see that 988 00:45:25,860 --> 00:45:23,800 this thing is really bright in the 989 00:45:27,060 --> 00:45:25,870 center and you can actually see a dust 990 00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:27,070 cone now coming out of it 991 00:45:33,770 --> 00:45:30,580 that's because NGC 1266 was one of the 992 00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:33,780 first galaxies we discovered that had a 993 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:36,310 supermassive black hole that was 994 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:38,650 actively removing the gas from the 995 00:45:44,220 --> 00:45:41,890 system a lot of it we're not talking 996 00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:44,230 about one solar mass per year here which 997 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:45,910 is about the star formation rate of the 998 00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:47,890 Milky Way we're talking about the fact 999 00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:49,510 that this little black hole is doing 1000 00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:51,910 some work this is a hundred solar masses 1001 00:45:59,010 --> 00:45:54,190 per year that is managing to move around 1002 00:46:00,990 --> 00:45:59,020 in the center of this thing so the next 1003 00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:01,000 thing you do again another gorgeous 1004 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:03,430 Hubble image this time I took it in the 1005 00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:05,710 near-infrared which is a very good way 1006 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:09,190 to trace stars in particular to look and 1007 00:46:13,230 --> 00:46:10,810 see if I could find any signatures of 1008 00:46:14,910 --> 00:46:13,240 some massive interactions some big 1009 00:46:17,410 --> 00:46:14,920 battle that took place with another 1010 00:46:23,049 --> 00:46:17,420 galaxy like those those simulations I 1011 00:46:24,970 --> 00:46:23,059 you know not really but then when you 1012 00:46:27,970 --> 00:46:24,980 look at it and you combine not only the 1013 00:46:29,980 --> 00:46:27,980 Hubble imaging with the radio telescope 1014 00:46:32,650 --> 00:46:29,990 imaging which was able to show me the 1015 00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:32,660 carbon monoxide thus the star forming 1016 00:46:41,710 --> 00:46:38,510 gas I saw this so radio astronomers like 1017 00:46:43,930 --> 00:46:41,720 contours I'll just warn you this is very 1018 00:46:47,500 --> 00:46:43,940 red shifted yes so this is gas this red 1019 00:46:51,609 --> 00:46:47,510 blob here is gas going 400 kilometers 1020 00:46:53,980 --> 00:46:51,619 per second away from this point and the 1021 00:46:58,720 --> 00:46:53,990 gas here is going 400 kilometers per 1022 00:47:01,960 --> 00:46:58,730 second away towards us and that's in the 1023 00:47:03,099 --> 00:47:01,970 middle so when you see this this tells 1024 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:03,109 you you're actually looking at an 1025 00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:05,690 outflow we were looking at an outflow in 1026 00:47:11,289 --> 00:47:08,510 the cold star forming gas there was cold 1027 00:47:13,059 --> 00:47:11,299 star forming gas that this a GN / 1028 00:47:18,450 --> 00:47:13,069 supermassive black hole was picking up 1029 00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:18,460 and throwing out of the galaxy so again 1030 00:47:24,190 --> 00:47:21,710 this picture I hope you can also see 1031 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:24,200 where this Hubble image is showing you 1032 00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:26,450 dust that's telling you that there is 1033 00:47:29,950 --> 00:47:28,400 cold gas at the core of a dust cone 1034 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:29,960 which again Hubble's image for us 1035 00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:35,650 beautifully so that's really interesting 1036 00:47:44,260 --> 00:47:40,910 we've now found a way to take gas that 1037 00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:44,270 is right in the center of a galaxy throw 1038 00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:46,040 it out of that galaxy so that galaxy is 1039 00:47:52,299 --> 00:47:49,760 done it might not be a case that gas way 1040 00:47:54,609 --> 00:47:52,309 out here this black hole can do much to 1041 00:47:57,250 --> 00:47:54,619 it has to be a really really bright 1042 00:47:59,200 --> 00:47:57,260 terrible thing to affect gas out here 1043 00:48:01,780 --> 00:47:59,210 this should also make you feel pretty 1044 00:48:03,609 --> 00:48:01,790 safe we are eight kiloparsecs that is 1045 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:03,619 like way out here compared to the center 1046 00:48:08,049 --> 00:48:06,410 of the Milky Way so it would take a lot 1047 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:08,059 of really crazy stuff to happen at 1048 00:48:11,950 --> 00:48:09,890 Sagittarius a star the center of our own 1049 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:11,960 galaxy in the supermassive black hole 1050 00:48:17,410 --> 00:48:14,210 there to do anything really significant 1051 00:48:20,380 --> 00:48:17,420 and terrible to us so that's again great 1052 00:48:22,180 --> 00:48:20,390 for us annoying for astronomers because 1053 00:48:23,980 --> 00:48:22,190 their astronomers you want to get rid of 1054 00:48:26,380 --> 00:48:23,990 gas here because again we know these 1055 00:48:28,510 --> 00:48:26,390 galaxies are red and dead you can't do 1056 00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:28,520 it with something there if you move the 1057 00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:30,760 gas in to there 1058 00:48:36,690 --> 00:48:33,730 we now know even a little wimpy not 1059 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:36,700 super powerful blackhole can do a huge 1060 00:48:44,430 --> 00:48:43,210 amount so that's great it's wonderful 1061 00:48:45,950 --> 00:48:44,440 when you find a thing that starts to 1062 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:45,960 answer some of the questions you have 1063 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:49,050 but there's a problem 1064 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:54,250 like any case study it's one thing has 1065 00:49:00,590 --> 00:48:56,880 anyone ever fit a line to a single point 1066 00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:00,600 you should not do that that's bad 1067 00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:03,310 because you can fit an infinite number 1068 00:49:08,430 --> 00:49:06,160 of lines to that point that means to us 1069 00:49:10,290 --> 00:49:08,440 yes we found one way one thing to do a 1070 00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:10,300 thing and that's great that means 1071 00:49:13,770 --> 00:49:11,920 probably in the universe there are more 1072 00:49:15,450 --> 00:49:13,780 galaxies like this more places that 1073 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:15,460 dinky little black holes are able to 1074 00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:17,890 remove their gas and effectively kill 1075 00:49:23,370 --> 00:49:21,280 off their galaxies but I kind of want to 1076 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:23,380 know if that's really common is it 1077 00:49:28,290 --> 00:49:25,450 something you see all the time if you 1078 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:28,300 look at the early universe when all of 1079 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:30,010 the star formation seems to be falling 1080 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:32,530 off at the same time is that kind of 1081 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:35,680 thing happening there too is it rare and 1082 00:49:40,290 --> 00:49:37,810 I just got really lucky as a graduate 1083 00:49:42,030 --> 00:49:40,300 student or is it common and I just 1084 00:49:44,370 --> 00:49:42,040 happen to be one of the first people who 1085 00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:44,380 had instruments available to me to put 1086 00:49:49,020 --> 00:49:45,070 it all together 1087 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:49,030 is there a circle of life in the 1088 00:49:52,670 --> 00:49:51,010 galaxies is it a case that these 1089 00:49:54,750 --> 00:49:52,680 galaxies are gonna come back someday 1090 00:49:55,380 --> 00:49:54,760 well it turns out to do any of that 1091 00:49:58,109 --> 00:49:55,390 stuff 1092 00:50:00,300 --> 00:49:58,119 ya actually need to find more you can't 1093 00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:00,310 just make all of the answers up with one 1094 00:50:08,190 --> 00:50:03,310 thing unfortunately as much as poor 1095 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:08,200 graduate student may wish you could so I 1096 00:50:12,359 --> 00:50:10,930 wanted to find new ones of these and 1097 00:50:16,170 --> 00:50:12,369 that's actually a part of the reason I'm 1098 00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:16,180 now here is how do you find and the way 1099 00:50:21,930 --> 00:50:18,730 we did it was we looked at special 1100 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:21,940 things about NGC 1266 I told you really 1101 00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:24,850 early on about ionized gas in star 1102 00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:27,250 forming regions the hot ultraviolet 1103 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:29,470 light and stars are able to irradiate 1104 00:50:35,430 --> 00:50:32,410 the gas and that gas is going to rear 88 1105 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:35,440 out in lines it turns out there are 1106 00:50:40,290 --> 00:50:37,690 other things that can do that if for 1107 00:50:42,970 --> 00:50:40,300 instance you shock the gas that is you 1108 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:42,980 collide the gas into itself your 1109 00:50:47,580 --> 00:50:44,570 also going to heat up that gas and that 1110 00:50:51,010 --> 00:50:47,590 gas is also going to radiate and finally 1111 00:50:53,590 --> 00:50:51,020 when a galaxy has stopped has stopped 1112 00:50:55,660 --> 00:50:53,600 forming stars there is a period of time 1113 00:50:57,790 --> 00:50:55,670 that's a little bit special because that 1114 00:51:00,310 --> 00:50:57,800 galaxy is still going to have some young 1115 00:51:04,690 --> 00:51:00,320 stars but it's no longer gonna have 1116 00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:04,700 infinite stars and because maybe you can 1117 00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:07,340 find that snapshot on time you can find 1118 00:51:11,230 --> 00:51:09,680 more of these things when we looked we 1119 00:51:14,859 --> 00:51:11,240 found these were two things that NGC 1120 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:14,869 1266 had it had shocked gas and we were 1121 00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:17,450 able to tell because the energy coming 1122 00:51:21,849 --> 00:51:19,730 out of a shock makes the gas emission 1123 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:21,859 lines look a little bit different than 1124 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:23,090 it does when it's coming from star 1125 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:25,490 formation and we could find through 1126 00:51:32,140 --> 00:51:29,570 absorption of the through a spectral 1127 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:32,150 absorption that is certain kinds of 1128 00:51:38,109 --> 00:51:35,090 stars have certain gas that's absorbing 1129 00:51:41,050 --> 00:51:38,119 different different lines different 1130 00:51:44,830 --> 00:51:41,060 radiation you find young but not infant 1131 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:44,840 stars and so we formed a team and an 1132 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:47,770 acronym which in astronomy is a big deal 1133 00:51:54,940 --> 00:51:50,210 we were looking for shock to post 1134 00:51:56,859 --> 00:51:54,950 starburst galaxies or Sparks and I will 1135 00:51:59,290 --> 00:51:56,869 warn you you might not take much from my 1136 00:52:02,530 --> 00:51:59,300 talk today you will probably remember 1137 00:52:04,510 --> 00:52:02,540 this acronym that's what makes it good 1138 00:52:09,820 --> 00:52:04,520 not that it's creative not that it makes 1139 00:52:12,810 --> 00:52:09,830 you smile it's sticks in your brain and 1140 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:12,820 so that's what I did is I looked at a 1141 00:52:18,190 --> 00:52:16,010 survey of millions of galaxies spectra 1142 00:52:21,030 --> 00:52:18,200 and I looked for that special 1143 00:52:24,460 --> 00:52:21,040 combination that we found in NGC 1266 I 1144 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:24,470 looked for the special spectral 1145 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:26,330 signatures that told me there was gas in 1146 00:52:31,420 --> 00:52:28,250 those galaxies but that gas was not 1147 00:52:34,180 --> 00:52:31,430 forming stars that gas was shocked and I 1148 00:52:37,540 --> 00:52:34,190 looked for signs in the spectra of young 1149 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:37,550 stars but not infant stars so not the 1150 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:39,410 ones that are gonna supernova right now 1151 00:52:44,050 --> 00:52:41,210 because they're still actively forming 1152 00:52:46,060 --> 00:52:44,060 and we found out of millions of galaxies 1153 00:52:47,650 --> 00:52:46,070 we had to cut it down to about a hundred 1154 00:52:49,210 --> 00:52:47,660 thousand that had high enough 1155 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:49,220 signal-to-noise that is they were bright 1156 00:52:53,650 --> 00:52:50,690 enough for us to actually do the search 1157 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:53,660 we found over about a thousand galaxies 1158 00:53:01,329 --> 00:52:55,729 that were 1159 00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:01,339 1266 they were kind of galactic zombies 1160 00:53:08,989 --> 00:53:06,089 and because astronomers actually tried 1161 00:53:10,609 --> 00:53:08,999 like to share their knowledge you can 1162 00:53:14,779 --> 00:53:10,619 actually go and look at the catalog of 1163 00:53:16,309 --> 00:53:14,789 all 1067 of these galaxies on a little 1164 00:53:18,349 --> 00:53:16,319 website and again 1165 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:18,359 luckily the acronym fog will stick in 1166 00:53:22,699 --> 00:53:20,729 your head so that website might - and 1167 00:53:24,769 --> 00:53:22,709 again this is just fun this is all 1168 00:53:26,569 --> 00:53:24,779 science there's nothing on there to buy 1169 00:53:28,609 --> 00:53:26,579 nothing like that you just basically go 1170 00:53:30,799 --> 00:53:28,619 get get to go look at like thumbnails of 1171 00:53:35,959 --> 00:53:30,809 cool galaxies for a while because some 1172 00:53:39,769 --> 00:53:35,969 of them look pretty wild then comes the 1173 00:53:41,029 --> 00:53:39,779 final phase so I've told you some of the 1174 00:53:43,759 --> 00:53:41,039 ways that we have figured out how 1175 00:53:46,789 --> 00:53:43,769 galaxies trigger their transition and 1176 00:53:49,099 --> 00:53:46,799 become dead I talked to you about the 1177 00:53:51,169 --> 00:53:49,109 ways that something inside of the galaxy 1178 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:51,179 itself can actually cause this these 1179 00:53:56,329 --> 00:53:53,729 galaxies to die and I've talked to you 1180 00:53:58,429 --> 00:53:56,339 about how maybe we can find more that 1181 00:54:01,729 --> 00:53:58,439 are just on this cusp of death where we 1182 00:54:03,380 --> 00:54:01,739 can learn a lot but there's something 1183 00:54:05,449 --> 00:54:03,390 cool about the ones that are the walking 1184 00:54:07,699 --> 00:54:05,459 dead the ellipticals and the lenticular 1185 00:54:09,439 --> 00:54:07,709 x' those that have already gone through 1186 00:54:12,199 --> 00:54:09,449 all of these processes are done with 1187 00:54:17,799 --> 00:54:12,209 their star forming gaps and really just 1188 00:54:20,179 --> 00:54:17,809 are red don't have young stars so again 1189 00:54:22,159 --> 00:54:20,189 the murder takes the gas out of the 1190 00:54:24,140 --> 00:54:22,169 ghoul the murderer puts the gas into the 1191 00:54:26,029 --> 00:54:24,150 middle of the galaxy the black hole does 1192 00:54:30,199 --> 00:54:26,039 the rest and gets the gas out of the 1193 00:54:32,359 --> 00:54:30,209 galaxy then because at some point you 1194 00:54:34,130 --> 00:54:32,369 can't recover that gas be fell into a 1195 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:34,140 cluster that gas is gone it's all part 1196 00:54:42,649 --> 00:54:38,130 of the hot cluster halo you end with 1197 00:54:45,529 --> 00:54:42,659 just this big bright thing these are 1198 00:54:47,630 --> 00:54:45,539 interesting too because just because 1199 00:54:49,130 --> 00:54:47,640 it's red doesn't mean there is not 1200 00:54:53,979 --> 00:54:49,140 something interesting going on in it 1201 00:54:56,209 --> 00:54:53,989 because those stars are old stars and 1202 00:54:59,449 --> 00:54:56,219 their stars that have been around a 1203 00:55:01,429 --> 00:54:59,459 really long time so it turns out if we 1204 00:55:02,989 --> 00:55:01,439 look at those kinds of stars the stars 1205 00:55:04,549 --> 00:55:02,999 we see that make up these red and dead 1206 00:55:06,919 --> 00:55:04,559 galaxies for instance in the Bulge of 1207 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:06,929 our own galaxy we're starting to learn 1208 00:55:10,250 --> 00:55:07,530 things 1209 00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:10,260 stars that formed towards the beginning 1210 00:55:15,770 --> 00:55:12,510 of the universe as opposed to these 1211 00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:15,780 young rock star supernova stars that are 1212 00:55:19,010 --> 00:55:17,700 there and gone but they're not telling 1213 00:55:25,370 --> 00:55:19,020 us about the beginning of the universe 1214 00:55:27,230 --> 00:55:25,380 where some of these can so here are some 1215 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:27,240 of the galaxies these are again NGC 1216 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:28,850 numbers which is new galactic catalog 1217 00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:31,530 some of these red and galaxies got into 1218 00:55:36,380 --> 00:55:33,510 mezes catalog and maybe seven is a 1219 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:36,390 really good example of one Messier 807 1220 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:37,890 is at the center of the Coma Cluster 1221 00:55:44,510 --> 00:55:42,720 which is a very nearby cluster to us and 1222 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:44,520 I guess I leave with the more 1223 00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:47,520 philosophical question here which is 1224 00:55:53,660 --> 00:55:51,660 what will become of us so you might have 1225 00:55:55,730 --> 00:55:53,670 seen that murder those two beautiful gas 1226 00:55:58,670 --> 00:55:55,740 rich discs that I showed and talk to 1227 00:56:00,110 --> 00:55:58,680 yourself huh we have a gas rich disk 1228 00:56:04,430 --> 00:56:00,120 that's kind of next door 1229 00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:04,440 I wonder what's gonna happen well I will 1230 00:56:12,260 --> 00:56:08,250 say this is a visualization an artist's 1231 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:12,270 rendition not a simulation but let's say 1232 00:56:18,110 --> 00:56:15,450 in the billion year future future 1233 00:56:20,060 --> 00:56:18,120 Earthlings who have evolved beyond 1234 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:20,070 bodies and now can live sort of 1235 00:56:26,030 --> 00:56:23,490 immortally we're sitting on earth what 1236 00:56:29,350 --> 00:56:26,040 would it look like to them as time 1237 00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:29,360 marched on and we met our friend 1238 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:36,240 Andromeda usually this comes with music 1239 00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:39,690 we could not make it work so I shall 1240 00:56:47,810 --> 00:56:44,310 narrate so again when you look up in the 1241 00:56:49,970 --> 00:56:47,820 sky this is kind of what you see you see 1242 00:56:58,250 --> 00:56:49,980 that right there I bet you can guess 1243 00:57:00,680 --> 00:56:58,260 what that is that's Andromeda so we're 1244 00:57:02,780 --> 00:57:00,690 going around again this is supposed to 1245 00:57:05,570 --> 00:57:02,790 be from the perspective of an earthling 1246 00:57:09,230 --> 00:57:05,580 sitting on earth moving around the 1247 00:57:11,710 --> 00:57:09,240 galaxy because we orbit the Sun the Sun 1248 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:11,720 also is orbiting the whole galaxy and 1249 00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:14,610 watching as we get closer and closer 1250 00:57:18,890 --> 00:57:16,890 because of the inevitable pull of 1251 00:57:26,770 --> 00:57:18,900 gravity between the Milky Way and 1252 00:57:31,370 --> 00:57:28,130 yeah 1253 00:57:33,590 --> 00:57:31,380 now again they don't just come together 1254 00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:33,600 and smash into each other we're on 1255 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:38,040 orbits but this probably looks like that 1256 00:57:46,340 --> 00:57:39,890 nice photos on the sheet that you have 1257 00:57:48,350 --> 00:57:46,350 that's again our future maybe but you 1258 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:48,360 can also see that now there's a lot more 1259 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:51,090 blue because as these two things collide 1260 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:53,730 into each other the gas is starting to 1261 00:57:57,980 --> 00:57:55,770 compress it starting to shock it's 1262 00:58:01,010 --> 00:57:57,990 starting to make super star starbursts 1263 00:58:03,590 --> 00:58:01,020 but also unfortunately that gravity 1264 00:58:06,590 --> 00:58:03,600 coming from that pesky Andromeda has now 1265 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:06,600 thrown us into a really really bad orbit 1266 00:58:11,810 --> 00:58:09,090 we are no longer safely in the disk of 1267 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:11,820 the galaxy we are now getting shot off 1268 00:58:25,850 --> 00:58:17,850 all over the place in our orbit it's 1269 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:25,860 great for the view but maybe not so much 1270 00:58:39,140 --> 00:58:35,010 for us so again I turn to my little 1271 00:58:40,790 --> 00:58:39,150 summary of the different ways you can 1272 00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:40,800 die in the universe I know I promised 1273 00:58:47,870 --> 00:58:44,670 you a hundred ways I apologize I was 1274 00:58:56,500 --> 00:58:47,880 going for the gimmick but I've given you 1275 00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:01,160 obviously even though we have thousands 1276 00:59:04,790 --> 00:59:02,910 of galaxies even though Hubble has 1277 00:59:07,100 --> 00:59:04,800 revolutionized our world even though the 1278 00:59:09,410 --> 00:59:07,110 launch of James Webb is going to do 1279 00:59:12,910 --> 00:59:09,420 these in gorgeous Hubble images but even 1280 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:12,920 further back in the universe and in time 1281 00:59:18,740 --> 00:59:15,530 we still don't have all the answers 1282 00:59:21,890 --> 00:59:18,750 we found one galaxy like NGC we found 1283 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:21,900 one NGC 1266 that is teaching us a huge 1284 00:59:26,690 --> 00:59:24,690 amount about what happens after the 1285 00:59:29,420 --> 00:59:26,700 galaxy is dying and after that galaxy 1286 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:29,430 has stopped has been doomed to stop 1287 00:59:35,609 --> 00:59:32,770 forming stars and yet 1288 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:35,619 we don't know how common that is we 1289 00:59:39,090 --> 00:59:36,730 don't know if that's the way all 1290 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:39,100 galaxies across all of the universe have 1291 00:59:43,770 --> 00:59:41,770 died we do not know if falling into the 1292 00:59:46,770 --> 00:59:43,780 cluster is the most important part 1293 00:59:49,070 --> 00:59:46,780 or if galaxies merge and die in groups 1294 00:59:55,140 --> 00:59:49,080 before they fall into those clusters and 1295 01:00:15,810 --> 00:59:55,150 so again I have to say as an observer we 1296 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:15,820 always need more data Thank You microns 1297 01:00:20,730 --> 01:00:18,250 on good alright so we are now at 1298 01:00:23,930 --> 01:00:20,740 questions so who has a question and 1299 01:00:25,890 --> 01:00:23,940 we'll bring the microphone to you I 1300 01:00:35,430 --> 01:00:25,900 guess somebody's phoning in with a 1301 01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:35,440 question you should an example of the 1302 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:38,590 jellyfish galaxies so my question was 1303 01:00:42,090 --> 01:00:40,330 what would cause the gas to be siphoned 1304 01:00:43,770 --> 01:00:42,100 off and multiple distinct tendrils 1305 01:00:49,170 --> 01:00:43,780 rather than being siphoned off uniformly 1306 01:00:50,790 --> 01:00:49,180 all around oh that's actually so I'm 1307 01:00:52,650 --> 01:00:50,800 gonna assume everyone heard the question 1308 01:00:55,290 --> 01:00:52,660 because of that awesome cute microphone 1309 01:00:56,460 --> 01:00:55,300 so that's because gas and galaxies does 1310 01:00:58,590 --> 01:00:56,470 not look uniform 1311 01:01:00,630 --> 01:00:58,600 if the galaxies if the gas at the 1312 01:01:02,730 --> 01:01:00,640 galaxy's falling into is completely 1313 01:01:04,470 --> 01:01:02,740 uniform and smooth and the gas in the 1314 01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:04,480 galaxy was completely uniform and smooth 1315 01:01:09,570 --> 01:01:06,910 you might expect that but in both cases 1316 01:01:12,030 --> 01:01:09,580 we know that the gas is extremely clumpy 1317 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:12,040 so the fact that you're falling you're a 1318 01:01:16,590 --> 01:01:14,650 clumpy thing that's falling into kind of 1319 01:01:18,359 --> 01:01:16,600 a clumpy thing though the gas in the 1320 01:01:19,980 --> 01:01:18,369 galaxy is probably clunkier than the gas 1321 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:19,990 in the cluster that's why there are 1322 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:26,410 tendrils yeah in front of what structure 1323 01:01:32,220 --> 01:01:28,810 are you standing and where is it oh um 1324 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:32,230 again this is unfortunately the Karma 1325 01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:34,570 array up in Owens Valley California 1326 01:01:41,790 --> 01:01:36,790 which is now in the valley and has been 1327 01:01:44,670 --> 01:01:41,800 decommissioned yeah there is Alma which 1328 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:44,680 is at 16,000 feet in the Atacama Desert 1329 01:01:49,260 --> 01:01:46,210 of Chile but I have never 1330 01:01:53,550 --> 01:01:49,270 myself up enough to go so really that's 1331 01:01:57,210 --> 01:01:53,560 that's high-altitude but there's a there 1332 01:01:58,920 --> 01:01:57,220 telescopes like this in on Mauna Kea 1333 01:02:00,660 --> 01:01:58,930 called the submillimetre array for 1334 01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:00,670 anyone who's ever thought to go to Mauna 1335 01:02:07,050 --> 01:02:02,830 Kea you can actually see structures like 1336 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:07,060 this in the case there of the the 1337 01:02:13,620 --> 01:02:11,290 collision scenarios do we ever get 1338 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:13,630 relativistic effects general relativity 1339 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:16,810 effects you talked about the gradients 1340 01:02:21,839 --> 01:02:19,450 the contour lines are their 1341 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:21,849 gravitational contour lines as we get 1342 01:02:27,390 --> 01:02:24,730 closer to the center as they begin to 1343 01:02:29,070 --> 01:02:27,400 intersect I realized that these are 1344 01:02:31,230 --> 01:02:29,080 clusters and I realized that the 1345 01:02:35,430 --> 01:02:31,240 majority of the mass is actually dust 1346 01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:35,440 not solid objects would spill right so I 1347 01:02:39,420 --> 01:02:37,630 will say that ideal on the meso scale so 1348 01:02:40,980 --> 01:02:39,430 most of the scales I'm working on are 1349 01:02:45,359 --> 01:02:40,990 Killip hundreds of parsecs to 1350 01:02:47,190 --> 01:02:45,369 kiloparsecs so 300 light years to 3,000 1351 01:02:48,690 --> 01:02:47,200 light years I'm on those scales you 1352 01:02:51,359 --> 01:02:48,700 don't really see those relativistic 1353 01:02:53,310 --> 01:02:51,369 effects that being said there are a 1354 01:02:55,859 --> 01:02:53,320 couple of very cool scenarios and things 1355 01:02:58,140 --> 01:02:55,869 that do have relativistic effects first 1356 01:02:59,880 --> 01:02:58,150 is in some of these kinds of galaxies 1357 01:03:02,550 --> 01:02:59,890 there seemed to be relativistic radio 1358 01:03:05,490 --> 01:03:02,560 jets that can form that they're called 1359 01:03:08,490 --> 01:03:05,500 radio galaxies and in those cases you 1360 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:08,500 actually have such a big black hole that 1361 01:03:13,650 --> 01:03:10,770 you have basically high-powered radio 1362 01:03:15,540 --> 01:03:13,660 plasmas coming out and you can see it 1363 01:03:17,700 --> 01:03:15,550 really really far away from the galaxies 1364 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:17,710 the other place that relativistic 1365 01:03:21,630 --> 01:03:19,570 effects are sort of interesting is that 1366 01:03:24,329 --> 01:03:21,640 in some of these mergers and these 1367 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:24,339 galaxies that are very post-merger those 1368 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:26,290 are actually the galaxies that have such 1369 01:03:30,870 --> 01:03:28,810 a wacky gravitational torques in the 1370 01:03:32,910 --> 01:03:30,880 centres you can actually get tidal 1371 01:03:38,010 --> 01:03:32,920 disruption events which is where stars 1372 01:03:40,650 --> 01:03:38,020 fall directly into the black holes yeah 1373 01:03:42,870 --> 01:03:40,660 so I mean the the relativistic effects 1374 01:03:44,730 --> 01:03:42,880 are really strong around the 1375 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:44,740 supermassive black holes and you get 1376 01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:46,210 that but that's much smaller scale than 1377 01:03:56,709 --> 01:03:54,789 it is and we learned we actually have 1378 01:03:58,779 --> 01:03:56,719 learned a lot from a couple of these 1379 01:04:00,939 --> 01:03:58,789 tidal disruption events we've seen I'm 1380 01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:00,949 again the thing the super cool is we 1381 01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:02,390 keep seeing these tidal disruption 1382 01:04:07,150 --> 01:04:04,910 events in these weird types of galaxies 1383 01:04:10,539 --> 01:04:07,160 these galaxies are rare the kind of 1384 01:04:13,569 --> 01:04:10,549 zombie galaxies I study are 1% of modern 1385 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:13,579 galaxies and yet in in these events 1386 01:04:16,539 --> 01:04:15,170 where you're finding these stars that 1387 01:04:18,309 --> 01:04:16,549 are actually starting to give you an 1388 01:04:20,739 --> 01:04:18,319 idea of what the black hole spin is 1389 01:04:21,819 --> 01:04:20,749 because you can actually model it you're 1390 01:04:23,949 --> 01:04:21,829 finding them in these weird 1391 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:23,959 one-percenters and not really finding 1392 01:04:30,609 --> 01:04:27,410 them as much in other things when when 1393 01:04:32,709 --> 01:04:30,619 the galaxies collide do you and the 1394 01:04:35,349 --> 01:04:32,719 actually do the actually form new 1395 01:04:37,630 --> 01:04:35,359 molecular structure when when they 1396 01:04:40,269 --> 01:04:37,640 actually come together to the what 1397 01:04:44,289 --> 01:04:40,279 actually does collide um for the most 1398 01:04:45,670 --> 01:04:44,299 part gas so the the actual stars for the 1399 01:04:47,679 --> 01:04:45,680 most part don't collide with one another 1400 01:04:49,959 --> 01:04:47,689 there's probably I don't know what the 1401 01:04:51,279 --> 01:04:49,969 chances are there's like a 1% chance in 1402 01:04:54,819 --> 01:04:51,289 one of these collisions you have one 1403 01:04:57,069 --> 01:04:54,829 star hit one star yeah lower it's very 1404 01:04:58,509 --> 01:04:57,079 very small the gas on the other hand 1405 01:05:01,359 --> 01:04:58,519 actually does collide with each other 1406 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:01,369 and it shocks and when it shocks it 1407 01:05:05,799 --> 01:05:03,890 turns out you do actually sometimes form 1408 01:05:07,509 --> 01:05:05,809 different molecular structures but 1409 01:05:10,479 --> 01:05:07,519 that's because the gas is being heated 1410 01:05:12,219 --> 01:05:10,489 so much that things like the dust which 1411 01:05:15,219 --> 01:05:12,229 has you know the dust which was normally 1412 01:05:17,019 --> 01:05:15,229 pretty happy is sublimated and so all of 1413 01:05:20,289 --> 01:05:17,029 a sudden the sublimated dust is now 1414 01:05:22,959 --> 01:05:20,299 gaseous and so for instance in some of 1415 01:05:24,969 --> 01:05:22,969 these galaxies uh but even closer to 1416 01:05:27,549 --> 01:05:24,979 home things like star protostars 1417 01:05:29,949 --> 01:05:27,559 you see things like silicon oxide in the 1418 01:05:32,859 --> 01:05:29,959 radio spectra because the dust has been 1419 01:05:35,799 --> 01:05:32,869 destroyed in them from these shocks okay 1420 01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:35,809 we have a comment from online while dare 1421 01:05:44,730 --> 01:05:39,049 grant given that your title is actually 1422 01:05:54,339 --> 01:05:48,999 whoever that is like cannot attend man 1423 01:05:57,759 --> 01:05:54,349 well I got to it's gotta to you 1424 01:06:01,269 --> 01:05:57,769 characterize the little galaxies is 1425 01:06:04,569 --> 01:06:01,279 sighing and but they seem to live live 1426 01:06:06,789 --> 01:06:04,579 long lives out of house their lifespan 1427 01:06:09,849 --> 01:06:06,799 on average compared with those of the 1428 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:09,859 spiral galaxies um 1429 01:06:14,740 --> 01:06:13,250 I think the thing that oh wait was the 1430 01:06:20,740 --> 01:06:14,750 way that I always like to think about it 1431 01:06:23,620 --> 01:06:20,750 is galaxies are like cities so in let's 1432 01:06:25,180 --> 01:06:23,630 say New York City you have a set of 1433 01:06:26,650 --> 01:06:25,190 people who have been living you know a 1434 01:06:28,390 --> 01:06:26,660 nice life that are getting towards 1435 01:06:30,519 --> 01:06:28,400 retirement age and are pretty happy and 1436 01:06:32,859 --> 01:06:30,529 pretty calm but then you also have like 1437 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:32,869 the young rock stars and like things 1438 01:06:38,289 --> 01:06:35,690 going on in those cities and so in in 1439 01:06:40,089 --> 01:06:38,299 disk galaxies um you still have those 1440 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:40,099 star formation events but that city 1441 01:06:43,870 --> 01:06:42,170 could be very old and you just have like 1442 01:06:45,190 --> 01:06:43,880 the people who have been watching you 1443 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:45,200 know on their balconies and like 1444 01:06:48,460 --> 01:06:46,730 smelling the fresh air and thinking 1445 01:06:50,620 --> 01:06:48,470 about how things were which is these red 1446 01:06:52,779 --> 01:06:50,630 stars are like looking down and seeing 1447 01:06:55,870 --> 01:06:52,789 the frenetic frantic activities of the 1448 01:06:57,370 --> 01:06:55,880 younger supernovae in stars whereas in 1449 01:06:58,990 --> 01:06:57,380 the elliptical galaxies you're basically 1450 01:07:00,700 --> 01:06:59,000 living in a place where all of the stars 1451 01:07:03,789 --> 01:07:00,710 are are old 1452 01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:03,799 so again Edwin Hubble had it wrong when 1453 01:07:07,390 --> 01:07:05,390 Edwin put together the sequence 1454 01:07:09,460 --> 01:07:07,400 he thought early types became late types 1455 01:07:11,079 --> 01:07:09,470 which is what we call them spiral 1456 01:07:12,730 --> 01:07:11,089 galaxies are late types I tried very 1457 01:07:18,430 --> 01:07:12,740 hard not to say it because I think it is 1458 01:07:21,339 --> 01:07:18,440 confusing but even in our Milky Way the 1459 01:07:22,660 --> 01:07:21,349 Bulge of our Milky Way is quite old even 1460 01:07:26,140 --> 01:07:22,670 though the disk of our Milky Way on 1461 01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:26,150 average is young so it just comes down 1462 01:07:31,450 --> 01:07:28,250 to the proportion of old to young they 1463 01:07:33,099 --> 01:07:31,460 can both have around the same age but 1464 01:07:35,049 --> 01:07:33,109 they just have been living and acting 1465 01:07:36,549 --> 01:07:35,059 differently in those ages because again 1466 01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:36,559 they're not people they're cities in 1467 01:07:42,819 --> 01:07:40,609 this case so it's the populations okay 1468 01:07:45,430 --> 01:07:42,829 we have a question from online why do 1469 01:07:49,980 --> 01:07:45,440 most young stars appear in the galaxy 1470 01:07:57,670 --> 01:07:54,279 well I want to think about that because 1471 01:07:59,770 --> 01:07:57,680 in my systems they're all of the nucleus 1472 01:08:02,289 --> 01:07:59,780 because that's where the gas is and I 1473 01:08:05,559 --> 01:08:02,299 think for the most part the start the 1474 01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:05,569 young stars follow where the gases so it 1475 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:07,760 turns out in the center of the Milky Way 1476 01:08:11,319 --> 01:08:09,890 there is a lot of star information going 1477 01:08:13,779 --> 01:08:11,329 on it's called the central molecular 1478 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:13,789 zone there's dense gas there's but the 1479 01:08:21,630 --> 01:08:15,410 arms is where you're seeing the majority 1480 01:08:37,990 --> 01:08:21,640 of it um so the answer is follow the gas 1481 01:08:41,740 --> 01:08:38,000 okay do all galaxies die eventually yeah 1482 01:08:45,550 --> 01:08:41,750 so our universe seems to show a 1483 01:08:47,470 --> 01:08:45,560 hierarchy the bigger a galaxy is the 1484 01:08:50,349 --> 01:08:47,480 more likely the galaxy is to be dead 1485 01:08:53,559 --> 01:08:50,359 which is what caused the pause so if 1486 01:08:56,530 --> 01:08:53,569 you're a small small galaxy you probably 1487 01:08:58,539 --> 01:08:56,540 have had the supply of gas available to 1488 01:09:00,070 --> 01:08:58,549 you for longer and it's going to be 1489 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:00,080 available to you for longer than a 1490 01:09:06,039 --> 01:09:02,650 really big galaxy eventually yes 1491 01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:06,049 eventually it's likely all gas is going 1492 01:09:09,130 --> 01:09:07,850 to be consumed in galaxies all stars are 1493 01:09:10,419 --> 01:09:09,140 going to become white works and then 1494 01:09:15,970 --> 01:09:10,429 they're all going to fall into black 1495 01:09:18,370 --> 01:09:15,980 holes but right so that to me doesn't 1496 01:09:22,300 --> 01:09:18,380 seem like quite the answer you want the 1497 01:09:25,030 --> 01:09:22,310 answer is yes all galaxies probably will 1498 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:25,040 die and the bigger more massive galaxies 1499 01:09:29,820 --> 01:09:27,650 seem to have died first and like 1500 01:09:34,269 --> 01:09:29,830 unfortunately for us in the Milky Way 1501 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:34,279 we're coming soon another way to look at 1502 01:09:37,990 --> 01:09:36,290 it is if you look at the star formation 1503 01:09:39,519 --> 01:09:38,000 history of the universe it's sort of 1504 01:09:41,650 --> 01:09:39,529 Peaks about two to three billion years 1505 01:09:44,349 --> 01:09:41,660 into the universe and has been declining 1506 01:09:46,930 --> 01:09:44,359 ever since so the maximum amount of star 1507 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:46,940 formation occurred about ten billion 1508 01:09:53,670 --> 01:09:49,489 years ago in the universe if I remember 1509 01:10:00,640 --> 01:09:58,060 right so so peaked and then it's falling 1510 01:10:02,890 --> 01:10:00,650 ever since so yeah we're on the decline 1511 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:02,900 yeah at least from a universal 1512 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:06,530 perspective all right other questions 1513 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:08,890 [Music] 1514 01:10:19,060 --> 01:10:15,290 all right let's check online there's 1515 01:10:20,860 --> 01:10:19,070 something about will the you talked 1516 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:20,870 about birth and they're saying you made 1517 01:10:26,110 --> 01:10:23,570 a doomsday prediction for Earth during 1518 01:10:28,180 --> 01:10:26,120 the Milky Way Andromeda collision but 1519 01:10:30,010 --> 01:10:28,190 then the question is of course will 1520 01:10:39,790 --> 01:10:30,020 earth still be here during that 1521 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:39,800 collision poofed up big enough that it 1522 01:10:45,430 --> 01:10:41,930 basically fries us and maybe even in 1523 01:10:46,660 --> 01:10:45,440 develops us the stellar winds that are 1524 01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:46,670 going to be coming off of it at that 1525 01:10:53,860 --> 01:10:49,370 time will have absolutely crushed us so 1526 01:10:55,660 --> 01:10:53,870 no it will have to be new earth or you 1527 01:10:58,210 --> 01:10:55,670 know will have to be a Star Trek society 1528 01:11:00,070 --> 01:10:58,220 by then and wrists around the galaxy to 1529 01:11:02,110 --> 01:11:00,080 look for places hopefully by then we'll 1530 01:11:04,150 --> 01:11:02,120 have like super wormhole networks that 1531 01:11:07,780 --> 01:11:04,160 can connect us to a galaxy that's not 1532 01:11:09,370 --> 01:11:07,790 about to collide with Andromeda a really 1533 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:09,380 long time from now we have a lot of 1534 01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:12,410 times the first pass of the collision is 1535 01:11:16,660 --> 01:11:13,760 gonna be about four billion years from 1536 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:16,670 now and the final merger is about six 1537 01:11:21,340 --> 01:11:18,170 and a half seven billion years from now 1538 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:21,350 yeah once the Milky Way and Andromeda 1539 01:11:26,740 --> 01:11:23,690 become an elliptical it'll you about six 1540 01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:26,750 seven billion years from now and our Sun 1541 01:11:33,430 --> 01:11:29,570 will have yeah it'll it'll have done its 1542 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:33,440 own dying thing alright any last 1543 01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:35,290 questions from the audience 1544 01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:40,400 all right next month star is chasing 1545 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:43,490 supernova with Kepler okay 1546 01:11:49,660 --> 01:11:47,090 in October arena stand up and wave 1547 01:11:51,390 --> 01:11:49,670 everyone say hi we haven't seen before 1548 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:51,400 once 1549 01:11:54,970 --> 01:11:53,570 if you would like to go across the 1550 01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:54,980 street and look out through the 1551 01:12:04,050 --> 01:11:57,770 telescope in the observatory follow her 1552 01:12:08,890 --> 01:12:07,360 okay there are no there are safety 1553 01:12:11,710 --> 01:12:08,900 regulations there's only so many people 1554 01:12:15,100 --> 01:12:11,720 and they once we got a little bit too 1555 01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:15,110 much yet so uh thank you all for coming 1556 01:12:27,979 --> 01:12:17,030 let's give Katie one more big round and
