--> 00:03:46,000 do a news from the universe and i'm 102 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:47,440 going to sort of put that on its head a 103 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,319 little bit 104 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,080 i'm going to do news from the earth and 105 00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:51,680 what i mean by that is i'm going to 106 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,239 give you some brief updates um before 107 00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:56,400 our featured presenter on 108 00:04:02,869 --> 00:03:59,439 uh three big nasa missions that have had 109 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,879 some great uh some great updates and 110 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,760 events 111 00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:06,239 that happen over the last month and i'll 112 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:08,640 start by showing you this slide here 113 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:12,080 which is a slide of nasa flagship 114 00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:12,879 missions 115 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:15,439 that have come out of what's called the 116 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:16,400 decadal 117 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,680 by astrophysicists in the united states 118 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:23,919 that is done every 10 years that 119 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:24,880 outlines 120 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:27,600 the astronomy or astrophysics priorities 121 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:28,000 that 122 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:31,680 decade 123 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,320 and based off of those provide 124 00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:36,479 recommendations for the type of mission 125 00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:37,680 that should launch 126 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,639 and these are the outcomes of those 127 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:42,560 previous decadal studies 128 00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:45,440 um that have been funded uh so of course 129 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,080 you see hubble was the first in 1990 130 00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:50,400 and then the chandra x-ray observatory 131 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:51,759 and then there's spitzer 132 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,479 and webb is launching in later this year 133 00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:56,160 and then the nancy grace roman space 134 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:57,919 telescope 135 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,120 know 136 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:03,360 follow a planned follow these planned 137 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,720 studies and they're they're launched for 138 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,479 very specific reasons and very specific 139 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:08,240 science goals but they're also 140 00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:11,360 general observatories and they study um 141 00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:14,000 astrophysics broadly in very specific 142 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:15,280 wavelength ranges 143 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:17,199 and with very specific instruments and 144 00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:18,560 capabilities 145 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,000 but what i want to do today is i want to 146 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:21,919 give updates on three of these 147 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:25,360 um hubble webb and roman 148 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:28,800 so we'll start with hubble so hubble 149 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:31,680 good news it's back to science so if you 150 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:32,880 attended last month 151 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:35,680 frank gave an update on some problems 152 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:37,600 that uh that hubble had it entered a 153 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:40,080 safe mode on june 13th 154 00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:42,720 um and what happened on june 13th was 155 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,960 that hubble's payload computer halted 156 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,960 and the payload computer controls and 157 00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,080 coordinates 158 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:50,160 the observatory's onboard science 159 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:51,600 instruments there's multiple science 160 00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:52,080 instruments 161 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:55,199 on hubble and the payload the paler the 162 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,280 payload computer halted 163 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,759 and uh the main computer failed to 164 00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:01,199 receive a signal from the payload 165 00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:02,160 computer 166 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,639 and the that all resides in what's this 167 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,800 complicated um thing called the science 168 00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:08,479 instrument command and data handling 169 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,199 unit 170 00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,360 which is a very interesting um acronym 171 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,840 there but it that automatically placed 172 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,759 hubble science instruments into a safe 173 00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:17,840 mode to protect them 174 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:21,039 and then from that um what happened was 175 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:24,080 many engineers and scientists from many 176 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,520 places including goddard and the space 177 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,759 telescope science institute got together 178 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,360 to study this event and to try to 179 00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:31,039 understand what was causing it and what 180 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,000 happened 181 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,720 um you can see on the right at the top a 182 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,000 picture of 183 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:38,000 the science instrument command and data 184 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:39,520 handling unit 185 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,639 of which um of which the 186 00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:45,440 payload computer is part of and in the 187 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:46,639 middle there you see 188 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,880 um various folks at nasa's goddard space 189 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:50,720 flight center working to resolve this 190 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,560 issue 191 00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:54,960 and on july 14th nasa identified a 192 00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,840 possible cause 193 00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:57,919 the inter the information gathered after 194 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:59,919 a series of multi-day tests 195 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,160 led the hubble team to determine that 196 00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,000 the possible cause of the problem was 197 00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:06,400 in what's called the power control unit 198 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:07,199 which resides 199 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:11,280 the science instrument command and data 200 00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:13,280 handling unit 201 00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,400 and based off of their tests um the 202 00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:18,639 the fix was to switch to backup hardware 203 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:21,039 and so on july 15th they switched to 204 00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:24,479 a backup power control unit backup 205 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,759 science instrument command and data 206 00:07:30,230 --> 00:07:28,080 handling unit um and then 207 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,240 that was successful and starting july 208 00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,479 17th science observations restarted 209 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:34,319 and the first science observat some of 210 00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:35,840 the first science observations that were 211 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,639 done 212 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,479 you can see in the lower right there the 213 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:40,000 the black and white um 214 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,759 images there but you can see some 215 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,400 interesting images of galaxies from 216 00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:46,720 a program led by julian del canton at 217 00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:48,160 the university of washington 218 00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:50,160 so that let us know that things were 219 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:51,680 back in business and things were working 220 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:52,560 properly 221 00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:53,759 of course this isn't the end of the 222 00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:56,000 story this was a long 223 00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:59,199 roughly month long hiatus on science um 224 00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:01,520 but the the teams are still going to be 225 00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:02,720 you know exploring 226 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:04,960 further the cause and and and what they 227 00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:06,000 can do um 228 00:08:10,309 --> 00:08:08,319 going forward um but everything's 229 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,319 working now on the on the backup 230 00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:13,280 system and science is back and or hubble 231 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,199 science is back in business 232 00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:21,029 um the james webb space telescope is 233 00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,520 continuing to prepare for launch 234 00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:26,240 so testing progress continues there are 235 00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:27,680 three big things that's happened in the 236 00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:29,039 last month or so 237 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,960 one the deployable tower assembly 238 00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,800 testing has been completed 239 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:34,719 the tower was fully extended for the 240 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:35,839 last time just it was 241 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:38,000 as it will do in space and testing teams 242 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,599 then lowered the tower and locked it 243 00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:40,800 into place 244 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,839 to prepare for launch now 245 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,519 from this top right image here it might 246 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:47,519 be hard to see but the the deployable 247 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,959 tower assembly unit 248 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:51,440 assembly unit here is essentially the 249 00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,320 piece that 250 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:54,800 connects the main mirror to the rest of 251 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:56,480 the structure down here that includes 252 00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:59,040 the sun shield and so after launch 253 00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:00,800 right everything is going to unfold and 254 00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:02,240 the main mirror is actually going to 255 00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:03,760 lift away 256 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,279 from the rest of that structure it going 257 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,880 to lift up so that it 258 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,839 there's a separation between the mirror 259 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:11,920 and the rest of that structure so it can 260 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:14,320 passively cool and get cold in space so 261 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:15,279 that all worked 262 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:19,920 subsystem was 263 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,480 cover was removed um basically if you're 264 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:24,240 going to take images of space it's good 265 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:24,880 to 266 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,440 remove uh you know like on your camera 267 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,120 remove your lens cover that's basically 268 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:30,640 equivalent to what this was they removed 269 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,600 the cover 270 00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:33,680 uh the web so-called lens cap has been 271 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:36,160 removed in preparation for launch um so 272 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,600 that's great news 273 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,839 and then the unitized palette structure 274 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,600 um was stowed for launch 275 00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:43,839 um so engineers folded the pallets in 276 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,920 preparation for launch 277 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,279 and the unitized pallet structure are 278 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:49,200 part of web's complex folding mechanism 279 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:50,720 so if you look in the bottom right 280 00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:53,519 corner you'll notice that um there's 281 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,800 sort of that 282 00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:56,320 that part that's kind of coming up in 283 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:58,000 the lower right kind of lifting up 284 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,440 and you'll notice there's like that 285 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:01,519 hatch or that that structure that's 286 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,079 underneath 287 00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,720 the folded up sun shield um that is the 288 00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:06,560 unitized pallet structure and it 289 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:09,200 it secures the sun shield and it secures 290 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:10,640 that part of the telescope so it can 291 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,000 fold up safely 292 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,240 and be safe during launch and then 293 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:16,320 deploy once it's in space 294 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,800 um the space telescope science institute 295 00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:20,959 continues launch preparations 296 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,680 so sdsci is the science and missions up 297 00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:25,360 mission operations center for the web 298 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,279 space telescope 299 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:29,519 a ground segment system has been tested 300 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,880 and finalized 301 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,120 and vips and media will be on site at 302 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:34,800 the space telescope science institute in 303 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:38,240 baltimore maryland for launch 304 00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:39,760 okay so good things are happening for 305 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:41,600 web it's a mission that's preparing for 306 00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:42,480 launch 307 00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:44,480 now the the nancy grace roman space 308 00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:46,079 telescope is a mission that 309 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,959 is a few years out it's in the it's uh 310 00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:50,000 being designed 311 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,200 and the engineering is happening 312 00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:55,120 um in the last month it passed a key 313 00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:56,320 design milestone 314 00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,440 so um on july 23rd 315 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:01,760 uh 2021 the nancy grace roman space 316 00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:03,680 telescope successfully completed the 317 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,200 critical design review 318 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:07,600 of the mission's ground systems so the 319 00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,640 ground systems 320 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:10,640 are spread over multiple institutions 321 00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:12,720 including the space telescope science 322 00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:14,000 institute in baltimore 323 00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,760 uh the goddard space flight center in 324 00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:17,519 greenbelt maryland and 325 00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:20,240 um caltech ipac in pasadena california 326 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:21,440 and the ground systems 327 00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:23,519 are basically the the systems that are 328 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,880 responsible for 329 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:27,200 collecting the science data from roman 330 00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:28,800 storing them and so on 331 00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,120 the space telescope science institute is 332 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,959 the science operations center 333 00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:34,399 for the nancy grace roman space 334 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,040 telescope the nasa goddard space flight 335 00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:39,200 center is the mission operations center 336 00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:41,839 and caltech ipac in pasadena california 337 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,600 is the science support center so we all 338 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:45,279 work together to make sure 339 00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:48,880 that the data is cared for once it comes 340 00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,440 back to 341 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,600 to earth after romans starts doing 342 00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:53,920 science in the mid 2020s 343 00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:55,519 so the passing of the critical design 344 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:56,959 review means that 345 00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,760 that the plan for science operations 346 00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,360 provides all the necessary data 347 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,600 processing and archiving capabilities 348 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:05,600 and that means that now the mission can 349 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:07,360 proceed to the next phase which is 350 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,720 building and testing 351 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:10,320 the newly designed systems that will 352 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:12,079 enable planning and scheduling of roman 353 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:13,200 observations 354 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,399 and managing the resulting data and 355 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:18,240 that is quite a feat there's a lot of 356 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,320 data that we expect from the nancy grace 357 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:22,560 roman space telescope 358 00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:27,440 is a telescope that's basically the size 359 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,680 of the hubble space telescope it has 360 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:31,440 similar image 361 00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:34,800 resolution image quality but it has 362 00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:37,839 well over 100 times the field of view of 363 00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:38,720 hubble 364 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,399 so we're going to get a lot of data it's 365 00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:42,320 a survey style mission so you can see in 366 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:43,519 the bottom right 367 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,200 the amount of data we're expecting from 368 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:48,160 the nancy grace roman space telescope 369 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:51,200 over 30 years we've had about 172 370 00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:53,120 terabytes of data from hubble 371 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,639 we're going to get we're going to get 372 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:57,040 about 20 000 terabytes in just five 373 00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:58,079 years 374 00:13:01,829 --> 00:13:01,040 from roman so there's a lot of work to 375 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:01,839 be done 376 00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:05,040 to prepare um ground systems archives 377 00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,519 and so on to store the data and make the 378 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:08,959 data available 379 00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,720 for everyone to use okay 380 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:14,959 so i just some some good news on these 381 00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:16,560 big missions and there's a lot of great 382 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:18,320 science that are going to come from 383 00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:21,440 from hubble webb and and roman um 384 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,279 and i just want to make the point before 385 00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:25,440 i introduce tonight's speaker that 386 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:28,639 uh none of these missions really replace 387 00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:31,920 the other missions right so there's no 388 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:34,959 there's no um i would never use a 389 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,440 i would never use a term of like hubble 390 00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,279 2.0 or anything like that because these 391 00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:41,519 missions are complementary to hubble 392 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:43,279 so they all have special things that 393 00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:44,560 they do and 394 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:46,959 unique things that they do hubble will 395 00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:49,040 continue to be our ultraviolet eye on 396 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:50,000 the sky 397 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:51,519 none of these other telescopes can look 398 00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,120 at ultraviolet um 399 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:55,360 and certainly no other space telescope 400 00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:56,800 can look at ultraviolet and the 401 00:14:01,509 --> 00:13:58,720 capability that hubble can 402 00:14:03,189 --> 00:14:01,519 webb is going to be an amazing eye on 403 00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:03,199 the sky for infrared science 404 00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:06,160 and spectroscopy and again roman is 405 00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:07,519 going to do infrared but it's going to 406 00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:08,880 have a larger survey 407 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:11,680 so it's going to um it's going to say 408 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:12,959 what we often say is 409 00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,120 is web will see deeper web has a bigger 410 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:17,519 mirror more sensitive to infrared 411 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:19,760 and roman will see wider it's going to 412 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,720 see more of the sky 413 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,720 and hubble light quality so i hope 414 00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:24,240 you're all excited about the 415 00:14:28,069 --> 00:14:25,760 the these new missions that are coming 416 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:28,079 up and and you know we hope for many 417 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:29,279 more years of hubble and that they can 418 00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:31,760 work together 419 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:34,079 and with that i am going to introduce uh 420 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:35,440 tonight's featured speaker 421 00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,079 dr isabel rubble guitto from the space 422 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:40,240 telescope science institute 423 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:42,959 who will talk to us on the importance of 424 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:43,360 small 425 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:46,160 objects exo-comets and i am actually 426 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,440 going to stop um 427 00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:49,600 sharing my slides and i will introduce 428 00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:51,120 her but i want to give her 429 00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:54,079 a chance to put up her title slide so i 430 00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:55,199 am going to 431 00:15:04,550 --> 00:14:59,760 stop sharing and i will introduce her 432 00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:07,030 all right so as isabel brings up her 433 00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:07,839 slides 434 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:11,199 um so let me introduce her so isabelle 435 00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,399 obtained her 436 00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,240 physics degree at the university of 437 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:16,800 santiago de compostela in spain with a 438 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,279 bachelor thesis focused on 439 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,440 the nuclear processes of novae events 440 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:23,199 and after that she obtained her master's 441 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:24,480 degree in astrophysics from the 442 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:25,519 university 443 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:28,160 of la laguna and tenerife spain with a 444 00:15:31,829 --> 00:15:29,920 master thesis focused on the study of 445 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:31,839 kepler-light curves and variations in 446 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,240 the brightnesses of exoplanets 447 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,560 she spent one year at the european space 448 00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:38,560 agency center in madrid working with dr 449 00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:39,519 bruno marin 450 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:42,880 and dr alvaro rebus in transition discs 451 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:44,959 transition this are where we believe 452 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:47,279 planet formation takes place 453 00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,279 and that led isabelle to start a phd 454 00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:51,199 also in madrid focused on the gaseous 455 00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:53,040 component of disks around main sequence 456 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:54,240 adult stars 457 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:56,800 and particularly the presence of exo 458 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,800 comets in these environments 459 00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,240 isabelle did her phd under the 460 00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:02,160 supervision of dr eva villaver 461 00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:05,600 and dr benjamin montecinos 462 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:07,199 she is currently a postdoctoral 463 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:08,639 researcher at the space telescope 464 00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:09,920 science institute working 465 00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:12,639 with dr marshall perrin and dr christine 466 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:13,279 chen 467 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,880 and she is currently studying the disc 468 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,880 around the famous star beta pic 469 00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:18,720 and follow and follow up as well as 470 00:16:21,749 --> 00:16:20,320 studies in exocomets around main 471 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:21,759 sequence stars 472 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:23,680 and its relevance in the architecture 473 00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:26,000 and composition of planetary systems 474 00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:28,320 so in addition to her fantastic research 475 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:30,160 that she'll tell you about today 476 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,920 isabelle is also a member of the women 477 00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:33,519 in astronomy committee of the spanish 478 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:34,240 astronomic 479 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:37,920 participated in multiple outreach 480 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:39,440 activities both with students of all 481 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:41,759 ages and gender focused outreach 482 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:44,320 um and she also used to play uh football 483 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:45,120 or as 484 00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:47,519 we say in this in the united states 485 00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:48,480 soccer 486 00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:49,839 she played that in spain while she was 487 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:51,360 in high school and while studying for a 488 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,320 physics degree 489 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:54,240 and she also paints and plays guitar in 490 00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:55,360 her spare time 491 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:02,310 great thank you so much brendan can you 492 00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:03,839 hear me well see my slides and 493 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:04,799 everything 494 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:06,799 okay uh thank you for a very nice 495 00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:08,720 presentation and introduction 496 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,600 um indeed all these space missions are 497 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:13,280 incredibly exciting we're looking for 498 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:13,839 one 499 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:16,720 so much for web this year um and i'm 500 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:17,199 gonna 501 00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:20,319 talk today about uh exocomets which is 502 00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:23,439 uh basically my phd work um 503 00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,640 but i'm gonna try to put the focus 504 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:28,559 on why these subjects are important and 505 00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:29,679 not only 506 00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:32,000 uh the scientific work that i did which 507 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:34,480 i'm also going to talk about 508 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,080 so the first thing i would like to 509 00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,080 mention is how 510 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:40,559 we are biased towards ignoring this type 511 00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:42,400 of small bodies because 512 00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:45,520 it is so exciting to think about 513 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,600 finding life in a planet or finding a 514 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:49,360 planet that can host life 515 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:52,160 outside the solar system uh where i 516 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:53,360 don't know we could find 517 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,000 animals or aliens that are green uh or 518 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:57,760 gray with huge eyes 519 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:00,160 but uh planetary systems are not just 520 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:02,080 the star and the planets actually 521 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:04,640 um they look something more similar to 522 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,520 this 523 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,919 um we do have a star we do have planets 524 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:08,880 but we do have 525 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:11,360 a lot of other components in the systems 526 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:11,919 there is 527 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,360 might have moons 528 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:17,520 just like it happens in our solar system 529 00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:18,799 and there is also 530 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,400 um less a 531 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:24,320 smaller fraction of the mass contained 532 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:25,919 in dust in the system 533 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:29,600 you can see some here and also gas 534 00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,720 means very small amounts um 535 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:34,320 but yeah planetary systems are very 536 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:36,240 complex and 537 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:39,360 how do we get here so it all starts 538 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:42,720 when a star collapses from a huge cloud 539 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:44,160 which is 540 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:47,280 tens of thousands of astronomical units 541 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,280 um in size astronomical units for 542 00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:53,679 those who might be uh not familiar with 543 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:54,400 the term 544 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:56,000 is the distance between the earth and 545 00:19:02,470 --> 00:18:59,600 the sun so it's it's a large distance 546 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:02,480 so these things are huge um and they're 547 00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:03,039 just like 548 00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:04,799 gas clouds that are floating in the 549 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:06,080 interstellar space 550 00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:09,520 and when they collapse um they start to 551 00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:10,080 uh 552 00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:15,140 started to 553 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:16,480 [Music] 554 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:19,280 locate in the center of the cloud and 555 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:19,679 that 556 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:22,400 eventually forms a star but not all of 557 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:24,320 the material it's in the star so if you 558 00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:26,080 follow this very nice diagram you see 559 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:27,440 that the cloud 560 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,880 it's shrinking as it collapses um 561 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,720 and there are like some zones with 562 00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:34,000 higher density that is 563 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:37,520 what's gonna form the star but there is 564 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,320 also some material 565 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:40,400 that it's located in the disk that at 566 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:41,840 this point is like 567 00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:45,200 hundreds or less than astronomical units 568 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,880 um so it's it's very small compared to 569 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:48,240 the original cloud but it's 570 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,360 more or less the same material 571 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,600 and that material that it's not in the 572 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:55,280 star it's what's gonna form 573 00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:58,480 eventually the planets um 574 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:00,880 just so you know our solar system 575 00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:02,880 depending on how you measure it and what 576 00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:03,520 components 577 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:05,600 you take into account but it's around 578 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:08,400 like 50 definitely less than 100 579 00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:09,679 astronomical units 580 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,360 apart from like the earth cloud that 581 00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:12,880 it's further on 582 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:14,880 so this is a very complex and long 583 00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:17,760 process and the outcomes of that process 584 00:20:23,669 --> 00:20:21,360 does not only depend on the material 585 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:23,679 of the original cloud but also on how it 586 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:25,440 collapses 587 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:28,480 and how the dynamics 588 00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:30,000 behave in the process of planet 589 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:32,000 information and we believe 590 00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:35,280 something uh that we believe that what's 591 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:37,120 happening is something like this 592 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:40,400 um where we start off uh imagine that we 593 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:41,520 already have the star 594 00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,360 i'm not gonna go into how it starts from 595 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,360 that's uh that's another story 596 00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:48,400 um we already have the star but it the 597 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,480 system is still very immature 598 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,960 so the disk that it's around the star is 599 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:54,000 huge 600 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,320 it's very flare that means that the 601 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,320 scale height is huge 602 00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:00,240 um and there is a lot of material in 603 00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:02,240 there but most of it is gas and this is 604 00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:03,760 what we call a protoplanetary disk 605 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:05,520 because we don't have planets yet 606 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:08,159 but we will have them um and so in that 607 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:09,760 protocol that it is there's 608 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:12,320 mainly two things happening uh one that 609 00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:13,679 the stars are treating some of its 610 00:21:18,789 --> 00:21:16,159 material because it's still growing 611 00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:18,799 but it's also radiating an enormous 612 00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:19,679 amount 613 00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,120 of very energetic photons 614 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,799 and those photons interact with the 615 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:26,400 material in the disk with the gas in the 616 00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:26,880 disk 617 00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:28,960 and blow it away so some material of the 618 00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:30,000 disk is being lost 619 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,360 to the interstellar medium and some 620 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:33,120 material of the disk is being 621 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:36,159 accreted onto the star um as this 622 00:21:38,470 --> 00:21:37,120 process goes on 623 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:38,480 what happens is that this starts to 624 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:41,760 settle the the scale height decreases 625 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:45,200 we start to have a lot of dust 626 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:46,880 pebbles the materials start secreting 627 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:48,400 into solids 628 00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,679 the temperature is also lower and 629 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,679 as the process goes on it might even 630 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:55,840 clear a small 631 00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:58,400 gap between the star and the disk as you 632 00:22:02,230 --> 00:21:58,880 see 633 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:02,240 here in this part um 634 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:04,960 there is still photovoltaic processes 635 00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:05,679 but 636 00:22:10,110 --> 00:22:08,400 the solids are growing we might have 637 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,120 planetesimas the first 638 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,720 protoplantationals a lot of dust and 639 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:14,320 eventually 640 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:17,600 all the material settles it's in a disk 641 00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:22,000 with not a very large scale height 642 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:23,760 and this is what we call at every disk 643 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:25,600 and this is basically 644 00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:28,480 the last stage of the process of planet 645 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:29,280 formation 646 00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:32,320 but in this stage we still have 647 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:34,720 a lot of things going on the disc is 648 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:35,840 full of dust 649 00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:38,320 um it's supposed to be depleted of gas 650 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:39,760 all the gas has been either accrued 651 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,600 onto the star or lost interstellar 652 00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:44,000 medium or aggregated 653 00:22:49,830 --> 00:22:47,520 into solids so we basically have dust 654 00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,840 and we have planetesimals or maybe even 655 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,039 planets 656 00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:53,520 and those bodies are still interacting 657 00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:54,080 in between 658 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:57,520 them this is not a completely stable 659 00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:59,600 system so there is a lot of things going 660 00:23:03,029 --> 00:23:00,960 on here 661 00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:03,039 but what we think this looks like this 662 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:04,320 kind of systems looks like 663 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:07,120 it's more or less like this um so we 664 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:08,240 would have the star 665 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:11,679 and we would have um a range of bodies 666 00:23:17,110 --> 00:23:14,720 and material located along the disk 667 00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:17,120 and we know that the material in the 668 00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:18,640 disk is at different temperatures 669 00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:20,000 because it's at different distances from 670 00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:21,600 the start so it kind of makes sense that 671 00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:22,000 what's 672 00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:25,039 closer to the star it's hotter than when 673 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:27,840 that the material that is further out so 674 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:30,080 uh if we look at the dust that is very 675 00:23:33,430 --> 00:23:31,280 very close to the star 676 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:33,440 it's really really hot but if we look at 677 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:35,360 the dust that is very very far from the 678 00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:36,720 start it's really really cold 679 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:39,440 we're talking about thousands of calving 680 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:41,200 of difference maybe one thousand or two 681 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:42,720 thousand kelvin difference 682 00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:45,840 between one um zone and the other and in 683 00:23:50,549 --> 00:23:47,520 between we have the planets 684 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:50,559 um and we also have the 685 00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:53,600 belts that could be formed in our in our 686 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:54,720 system 687 00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:58,080 and this is um again a hundred 688 00:24:02,390 --> 00:23:59,360 astronomical units 689 00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:02,400 uh this halo might stand uh further than 690 00:24:07,669 --> 00:24:04,320 that we know that there are disks 691 00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:07,679 that are bigger way bigger than this um 692 00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:10,240 but this is just like a model of what we 693 00:24:14,789 --> 00:24:11,200 think 694 00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:14,799 like and of course depending 695 00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:17,679 on what zone of the system we want to 696 00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:18,240 see 697 00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:20,400 we actually try to look at different 698 00:24:23,110 --> 00:24:21,279 wavelengths 699 00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:23,120 so at different let's say with different 700 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:26,240 eyes um 701 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:27,600 the material that is really close to the 702 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:30,400 star usually emits around 703 00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:33,679 two microns of wavelength so there 704 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:36,640 um it's still very bright uh in the near 705 00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:37,600 infrared 706 00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:40,000 we don't we would not be able to see it 707 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:42,320 uh radiating terminally with our eyes 708 00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:44,080 because we only see in the visible range 709 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:47,120 and this is already the infrared 710 00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:49,039 but if we want to observe the one that 711 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:50,960 it's in the outer regions we have to go 712 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:52,240 to 60 microns 713 00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:53,440 which is a completely different 714 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:55,279 wavelength and we need 715 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,720 a completely uh different instrument 716 00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:00,159 that say to actually 717 00:25:03,430 --> 00:25:02,240 uh see that compared to what we have 718 00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:03,440 closer to the star 719 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:05,840 so this is fairly difficult to study um 720 00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:06,559 all together 721 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:09,600 we usually go by chunks um 722 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,520 but this might also seem familiar to 723 00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:13,679 some of you uh it doesn't look weird 724 00:25:16,149 --> 00:25:14,000 right 725 00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:16,159 where if we are interested in the solar 726 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,440 system this kind of 727 00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:19,840 looks like it um and that's because our 728 00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:20,799 solar system 729 00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:24,400 uh it's like the first model of how 730 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:28,000 planets formed it's the first outcome of 731 00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:31,200 planet formation that we knew um 732 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:34,640 until not so long ago the only one and 733 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:37,360 so this is the solar system is what we 734 00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:37,840 use 735 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:43,279 for uh determining the planet formation 736 00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:44,240 theories 737 00:25:47,350 --> 00:25:45,840 uh so as you can see like in the 738 00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:47,360 previous um 739 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:50,000 diagram we have here the solid system 740 00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:50,559 with 741 00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:55,520 planets the terrestrial planets 742 00:25:59,190 --> 00:25:57,600 inside of the asteroid belt the sun is 743 00:26:02,950 --> 00:25:59,200 here 744 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:02,960 we have a large chunk of asteroids 745 00:26:06,549 --> 00:26:05,120 between mars and jupiter which is the 746 00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:06,559 asteroid belt 747 00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:10,000 and we look further out here you can see 748 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:10,320 that 749 00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:12,240 it's jupiter it's utter neurons and 750 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:14,720 neptune and the dwarf planets pluton 751 00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:15,760 sedna 752 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:17,360 and we also have what's called the 753 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:20,240 kuiper belt which is um 754 00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:22,320 also a belt of asteroids and small 755 00:26:27,269 --> 00:26:24,080 bodies but 756 00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:27,279 with a higher content in ice just 757 00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:27,760 because 758 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:30,480 it is further from the sun so it can 759 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:30,960 have 760 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:33,120 materials that at high temperatures are 761 00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:34,640 gaseous 762 00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:38,080 in the form of solids and yeah so this 763 00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:39,200 is very similar to 764 00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:41,200 to the diagram that i was showing before 765 00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,640 you see um 766 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:44,799 the terrestrial zone but here the 767 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,720 asteroid also would be this 768 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:48,799 and this would be the kuiper belt um 769 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:49,760 here so 770 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:53,360 this is um the like the model 771 00:26:57,669 --> 00:26:56,320 of what we think a planetary system kind 772 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:57,679 of look like looks like 773 00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:00,480 we know um after many many studies and 774 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:02,799 after the discovery of 4000 exoplanets 775 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:05,360 that this is not like this all the time 776 00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:06,159 we can have 777 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:08,960 the giant planets very close to star we 778 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:09,520 can have 779 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:12,559 only small planets um depending on the 780 00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:13,760 star that we're looking at 781 00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:17,679 we believe that that might be related on 782 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:20,399 the mass of the star the spectro but we 783 00:27:24,149 --> 00:27:20,960 really don't 784 00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:24,159 know we're still trying to figure out 785 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:26,240 um what's going on and if there is a 786 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:27,760 correlation on 787 00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:30,000 between uh the the architecture of the 788 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:31,279 planetary system and the 789 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:33,279 and the type of star that it surrounds 790 00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:34,799 it um 791 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,880 and so going back to solar system we are 792 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:38,559 actually really lucky 793 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,840 um the moment we're leaving because we 794 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:42,960 have reached now 795 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:44,880 the point in science where we can 796 00:27:49,590 --> 00:27:46,960 actually go 797 00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:49,600 near these objects are around uh the 798 00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:51,679 earth and the terrestrial planets 799 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:54,640 um and we have been even further on um 800 00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,200 and just 801 00:27:58,950 --> 00:27:57,679 look at them look how the asteroids in 802 00:28:02,870 --> 00:27:58,960 the asteroid belt 803 00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:02,880 or the comets look like and i 804 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:07,039 really love this image of comet 67p 805 00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:10,960 this is uh up so up until now i showed 806 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:13,919 like pictures or diagrams but this is a 807 00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:14,399 real 808 00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:18,240 image this is um how the comment looks 809 00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:19,200 like 810 00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:21,840 and it's impressive you can see it has a 811 00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:23,120 really weird shape 812 00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:26,320 um it was usually called a duck 813 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:29,440 because it has like body and head um i i 814 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:30,399 was at isa 815 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:34,399 at the moment um the rosetta mission 816 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:37,760 um reached 67p so um 817 00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:40,960 this is kind of like um a special 818 00:28:45,510 --> 00:28:43,840 object for me um and you can also see 819 00:28:47,669 --> 00:28:45,520 there is a lot of material 820 00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:47,679 evaporating from the surface because 821 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:48,960 this object used to be 822 00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:51,760 um really really far away from the sun 823 00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:53,200 so it has a lot of ice 824 00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,600 and the moment it started to come to the 825 00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:57,360 inner regions closer to the sun it 826 00:29:02,070 --> 00:28:59,039 started of operating material 827 00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:02,080 and that allowed to investigate uh the 828 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:04,320 composition and also the dynamics of how 829 00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:05,360 a comet 830 00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:08,399 moves let's say around the solar system 831 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:11,600 so thanks to the mission in the space 832 00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:12,960 missions we have now we can do this sort 833 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:13,840 of stuff 834 00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:17,200 um and moreover we actually landed 835 00:29:21,669 --> 00:29:20,320 on this comet um i think it's the only 836 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:21,679 comet we have landed on 837 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:24,720 um unfortunately 838 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:27,760 the lander did not fall properly 839 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:30,000 so it was kind of upside down so some of 840 00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:31,919 the experiments they wanted to do 841 00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:34,399 were not possible some of some others 842 00:29:38,149 --> 00:29:36,159 were possible to do 843 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:38,159 it also wasn't lucky that it fell on a 844 00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:39,360 shaded area 845 00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:42,159 and it needed the the sun for powering 846 00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:43,600 it had some solar panels 847 00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:46,080 so yeah it lasted way less than we 848 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:47,039 expected 849 00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:50,240 um and and we could there was some 850 00:29:53,350 --> 00:29:51,840 science that could not be done but still 851 00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:53,360 it was a great mission it was really 852 00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:54,880 important that we have 853 00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:58,559 really really great data from coming 67p 854 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,960 um but this is not the only body in the 855 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:02,399 solar system that 856 00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:04,799 uh we as humans have visited ourselves 857 00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:06,240 or with robots 858 00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:09,679 there's actually a bunch of them um 859 00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:12,559 earth of course we're all here right a 860 00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:13,840 couple of astronauts 861 00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:16,960 um orbiting um the moon 862 00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:18,799 and we have been to the moon a couple of 863 00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:20,880 times um 864 00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:23,760 and the rest of the bodies here we have 865 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:24,880 actually not 866 00:30:29,269 --> 00:30:27,120 been as like a human being has not been 867 00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:29,279 in there but we have sent robots 868 00:30:34,950 --> 00:30:32,799 or um space missions that landed on them 869 00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:34,960 that were in those surfaces 870 00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:38,480 so um this is coming 67p that's the one 871 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:38,880 that 872 00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:42,080 i was mentioning um this is asteriskawa 873 00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:42,960 i think 874 00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:46,159 this was the first the first small body 875 00:30:52,630 --> 00:30:49,279 that we put uh lander on 876 00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:52,640 i believe it was 2005. um 877 00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:55,919 so yeah we we have been studying um 878 00:30:58,950 --> 00:30:57,840 the small bodies in the solar system 879 00:31:01,909 --> 00:30:58,960 very carefully 880 00:31:03,669 --> 00:31:01,919 for some years now and i think this is 881 00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:03,679 the last one the asteroid 882 00:31:11,190 --> 00:31:07,919 ryogu that was visited by hayabusa two 883 00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:11,200 two years ago 2019 um and of course 884 00:31:16,470 --> 00:31:13,440 there's like mars venus 885 00:31:17,990 --> 00:31:16,480 and titan one of the moons in the solar 886 00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:18,000 system that we have visited 887 00:31:23,669 --> 00:31:21,440 uh that it's very important for um 888 00:31:25,669 --> 00:31:23,679 for australia biology research because 889 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:25,679 it has um 890 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:28,880 a cycle of methane i think um 891 00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:30,880 so yeah we have visited the surface of 892 00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:32,000 many bodies in the solar 893 00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:36,240 system and some of these bodies 894 00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:38,320 like the moon are really really 895 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:39,840 important for the presence 896 00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:43,519 of life on earth this might not seem 897 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:44,720 really obvious but there are some 898 00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:45,440 effects 899 00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:47,519 that the moon causes on the earth that 900 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:49,120 we all know about 901 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:51,279 like for example the tides um we are 902 00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:52,640 very 903 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,880 familiar with tides we know that the 904 00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:56,000 gravitational effect 905 00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:00,000 that the moon causes on the earth 906 00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:03,200 generates tides um and that it's 907 00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:06,640 a thing that happens and that allows 908 00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:09,840 um the life in the oceans or 909 00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:12,480 maybe not that allows but that 910 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:14,320 influences the life in the oceans 911 00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:16,240 but there is one thing that it's maybe 912 00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:18,240 more important that the moon does 913 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:20,399 is that it stabilizes the axis of the 914 00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:22,240 earth the earth is not 915 00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:25,200 um completely so the axis of the earth 916 00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:27,519 is not completely perpendicular to 917 00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:30,880 the plane of the orbit of the earth 918 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:33,039 it's tilted 23 degrees and that's what 919 00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:34,720 causes seasons 920 00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:36,799 so that it's allowed by the moon if it 921 00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:38,240 were not for the moon we would not have 922 00:32:42,149 --> 00:32:39,039 seasons 923 00:32:42,630 --> 00:32:42,159 and probably um the axis of the earth 924 00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:42,640 would 925 00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:45,760 um just uh move around like crazy and we 926 00:32:49,669 --> 00:32:47,600 would have crazy weather 927 00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:49,679 we are already doing that i know but 928 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,519 that's a different thing at least 929 00:32:54,710 --> 00:32:53,279 uh the moon is not messing up with our 930 00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:54,720 weather it's taking care of us 931 00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:57,360 so yeah thanks moon um so moon is really 932 00:33:02,149 --> 00:32:59,279 important for life on earth so 933 00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:02,159 when looking um outside to other planets 934 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:04,720 maybe we should consider how effects 935 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:08,080 moons could have on other planets um 936 00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:10,720 but not only the moon has influence on 937 00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:11,919 life on earth 938 00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:13,919 um we're not so sure about this but we 939 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:16,159 think comets and asteroids are also 940 00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:19,600 fundamental for uh life on earth 941 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:23,279 um one of the mechanisms that 942 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,720 are used to explain the presence of 943 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:26,320 water on earth because 944 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:29,440 if we just consider the moment of 945 00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:30,799 earth's formation 946 00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:33,440 it would not have been possible to have 947 00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:35,200 the huge amount of water we have 948 00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:38,320 now in oceans river in the 949 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:41,679 arctic um in in the form of ice 950 00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:44,000 it would have just evaporated um so the 951 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:45,440 water must have 952 00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:47,760 come from somewhere else uh one of the 953 00:33:51,909 --> 00:33:49,919 theories is that it actually came 954 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,919 either in carbon assists concretes that 955 00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:53,760 are a type of asteroids 956 00:33:57,909 --> 00:33:56,960 or in main belt comets um so those 957 00:34:00,310 --> 00:33:57,919 bodies 958 00:34:01,909 --> 00:34:00,320 do have a lot of water ice because they 959 00:34:04,389 --> 00:34:01,919 were formed 960 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:04,399 way further from the sand than earth was 961 00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:05,120 formed 962 00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:08,000 so just by dynamical interactions in 963 00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:09,040 between the 964 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:12,079 the solar system um these bodies could 965 00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:12,639 have 966 00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:15,440 collided with earth um and just dropped 967 00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:16,639 an insane amount 968 00:34:22,149 --> 00:34:20,159 of material including water 969 00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:22,159 and we have some meteorites of carbon 970 00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:23,280 chondroids 971 00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:26,560 that apparently um indicate that 972 00:34:29,829 --> 00:34:28,960 the type of water that is found in 973 00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:29,839 meteorites 974 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:32,079 would be compatible with what's found on 975 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:33,040 earth 976 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:36,480 but this is just um hypothesis uh 977 00:34:40,629 --> 00:34:37,760 obviously it's really hard to prove 978 00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:40,639 something like this um for example 67p 979 00:34:42,629 --> 00:34:41,839 the comment that i was talking about 980 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:42,639 before 981 00:34:46,790 --> 00:34:45,520 actually showed a different type of 982 00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:46,800 water 983 00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:49,040 regarding the isotope level than the 984 00:34:52,149 --> 00:34:50,560 water that is found on earth 985 00:34:53,990 --> 00:34:52,159 so that kind of ruled out the theory 986 00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:54,000 that it was comets but then other type 987 00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:55,520 of comets were found that actually 988 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:58,320 have much more water and have the same 989 00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:58,880 um 990 00:35:02,870 --> 00:35:00,960 isotopes ratio than the water on earth 991 00:35:06,310 --> 00:35:02,880 so this is sort of for coming and going 992 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:06,320 but it's um kind of very established 993 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:08,720 that comets and asteroids had something 994 00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:11,040 to do with the amount of water we have 995 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:14,560 um there is also some theories that are 996 00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:17,760 um obviously very hard to prove 997 00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:21,520 that life itself came from outer space 998 00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:24,000 um in a comet that just collided on 999 00:35:27,349 --> 00:35:25,119 earth and left 1000 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,359 the basic amino acids or even maybe 1001 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:29,520 proteins 1002 00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:33,680 took needed to form life um so 1003 00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:35,760 there's um theory that it could have 1004 00:35:39,829 --> 00:35:38,079 come even from the intergalactic space 1005 00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:39,839 which is not from the solar system and 1006 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:41,440 there's also 1007 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:42,800 obviously claims that it could have come 1008 00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:45,119 from mars we just we just don't know 1009 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:46,480 but it's something that it's out there 1010 00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:48,400 and that is it's something that 1011 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,320 we think of and we consider when trying 1012 00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:52,800 to explain uh the characteristics of the 1013 00:35:58,150 --> 00:35:53,520 earth 1014 00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:58,160 obviously these bodies are really really 1015 00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:00,480 important like moons asteroids comets 1016 00:36:03,750 --> 00:36:01,760 are really really important when 1017 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:03,760 considering habitability and when 1018 00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:05,440 considering the presence of life 1019 00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:08,880 in other planets so um 1020 00:36:11,990 --> 00:36:10,720 how do we find these bodies outside our 1021 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:12,000 solar system 1022 00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:15,280 where are these bodies so um 1023 00:36:19,030 --> 00:36:17,359 they are really difficult to find it is 1024 00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:19,040 really difficult to find planets 1025 00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:22,320 and up until a couple of years ago 10 1026 00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:23,119 years ago 1027 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:25,760 we barely knew any planets uh now we 1028 00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:26,400 know like 1029 00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:28,079 four thousand more than four thousand of 1030 00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:30,320 them but um 1031 00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:32,720 it was not so common years ago so it's 1032 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:34,160 it's hard to find planets and it's 1033 00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:35,839 really really hard to find small bodies 1034 00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:37,760 because they're way smaller than planets 1035 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:40,880 uh we do have some workarounds 1036 00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:44,400 um so i'm gonna start with moons um 1037 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:48,240 this is kind of controversial um 1038 00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:51,520 no moons to these they have been 1039 00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:53,920 found around planets outside the solar 1040 00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:54,640 system 1041 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:57,680 there was a claim for one uh but the 1042 00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:00,720 just the same authors that um published 1043 00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:02,960 evidence for uh for our next moon 1044 00:37:08,069 --> 00:37:06,079 um retracted it they said that um 1045 00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:08,079 it was probably an error with the data 1046 00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:09,440 that um 1047 00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:11,680 it's not that it's not there just that 1048 00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:13,760 it's not so clear that it's there 1049 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:16,560 so we have no evidence at all about 1050 00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:17,599 exomoons 1051 00:37:21,589 --> 00:37:19,440 um and there's a couple of techniques to 1052 00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:21,599 look for them um 1053 00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:24,800 the one that i think it's more easy to 1054 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:25,920 understand it's 1055 00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:29,040 the one uh of the transits so we 1056 00:37:34,870 --> 00:37:31,040 basically have the light of the star 1057 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:34,880 um constant let's say the like the star 1058 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,640 does not vary even though if there is 1059 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:38,640 variations we can also account for them 1060 00:37:42,069 --> 00:37:40,960 we can model them and as the tran the 1061 00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:42,079 planet transits 1062 00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:45,200 um the the light of the star drops a 1063 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:46,960 little bit it looks like a lot here but 1064 00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:48,240 it's actually just a little bit so we 1065 00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:49,680 have to be very precise 1066 00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:53,119 um and when the planet passes um 1067 00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:55,200 we go back to the normal amount of light 1068 00:37:59,750 --> 00:37:57,440 of the star but then the moon passes 1069 00:38:01,910 --> 00:37:59,760 and the moon creates another even 1070 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:01,920 smaller transit 1071 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,920 so this would be one way to find them to 1072 00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:05,359 actually look for these 1073 00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:08,240 double transits uh but this is really 1074 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,520 really difficult to do 1075 00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:11,359 uh and then there is some other uh 1076 00:38:14,470 --> 00:38:13,040 techniques also based on 1077 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:14,480 on the variations on the light of the 1078 00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:16,480 star um but they're 1079 00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:18,000 way more complicated and didn't want to 1080 00:38:24,470 --> 00:38:21,359 get uh into that too much 1081 00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:24,480 so let's move on um to the next small 1082 00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:25,280 bodies which are 1083 00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:29,280 asteroids um so asteroids are 1084 00:38:32,870 --> 00:38:31,920 already found in debris disks this is 1085 00:38:35,510 --> 00:38:32,880 the first 1086 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:35,520 stage of planet formation where we can 1087 00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:36,960 try to find them 1088 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,079 um but they're small 1089 00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:42,720 and they're dark they don't bright or 1090 00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:44,000 shine or anything 1091 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:46,720 so we actually have a hard time trying 1092 00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:47,599 to find them 1093 00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:50,880 but we what we can do is try to find 1094 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:54,800 um uh indirect outcome of asteroids 1095 00:38:58,950 --> 00:38:56,160 which is dust 1096 00:39:00,069 --> 00:38:58,960 so dust is actually found also in the 1097 00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:00,079 solar system 1098 00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:02,720 um and in many many planetary systems 1099 00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:03,200 because 1100 00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:06,720 when asteroids collide um they break 1101 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:09,599 they break down and they release a large 1102 00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:11,280 amount of dust 1103 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:14,000 that it's found around sorry around the 1104 00:39:17,030 --> 00:39:15,760 terrestrial planets are in the asteroid 1105 00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:17,040 belt in the kuiper belt 1106 00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:19,520 and we can see that um when looking at 1107 00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:21,200 the light of the star in different 1108 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:22,240 wavelengths 1109 00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:24,400 so uh with different light with 1110 00:39:27,510 --> 00:39:25,680 different energy 1111 00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:27,520 um i will try to explain this a bit 1112 00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:29,520 later um 1113 00:39:33,589 --> 00:39:31,839 we can see that there is not always the 1114 00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:33,599 same amount of light depending on the 1115 00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:34,640 energy of the light 1116 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:36,320 let's say this is more blue and this is 1117 00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:38,000 more red um 1118 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:40,960 so we know for example our sun writes uh 1119 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:43,520 shines a lot in the green color 1120 00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:46,960 um but not so much on the blue 1121 00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:50,000 and not so much on the red um 1122 00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:52,240 so this is depending on the temperature 1123 00:39:57,109 --> 00:39:53,680 of the star mostly 1124 00:40:00,630 --> 00:39:57,119 um but then uh we have 1125 00:40:02,470 --> 00:40:00,640 found that some stars do not bright 1126 00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:02,480 do not shine or do not emit the light 1127 00:40:08,309 --> 00:40:04,079 that we expect 1128 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:08,319 them to emit uh but they do emit more 1129 00:40:11,829 --> 00:40:10,240 for example when we reach the infrared 1130 00:40:15,109 --> 00:40:11,839 region 1131 00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:15,119 there are stars that are 1132 00:40:18,309 --> 00:40:17,680 way way brighter than we would expect so 1133 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:18,319 this is 1134 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:20,400 how we respect the the light of the star 1135 00:40:23,910 --> 00:40:22,000 and this is what we actually see 1136 00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:23,920 so what is happening here so what is 1137 00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:26,000 happening here is that a lot of material 1138 00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:28,319 around the the disc it's absorbing the 1139 00:40:31,349 --> 00:40:29,359 light of the star 1140 00:40:32,390 --> 00:40:31,359 and re-emitting it in a different 1141 00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:32,400 wavelength 1142 00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:35,520 um so dust lags a lot 1143 00:40:40,870 --> 00:40:38,960 um to emit in infrared wavelengths 1144 00:40:42,550 --> 00:40:40,880 and so that's why if there is a lot of 1145 00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:42,560 dust there is a lot of material that 1146 00:40:45,589 --> 00:40:43,920 it's emitting in this infrared 1147 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:45,599 wavelength satellite that it has just 1148 00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:46,880 absorbed from star 1149 00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:50,319 so we have this huge bump um 1150 00:40:53,349 --> 00:40:52,240 in the spectra of the star in sorry in 1151 00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:53,359 the light of the star 1152 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:54,640 that it's not actually coming from the 1153 00:40:59,670 --> 00:40:56,400 star it's just coming from the dust 1154 00:41:00,550 --> 00:40:59,680 um and the asteroid belt also can emit 1155 00:41:03,109 --> 00:41:00,560 some light 1156 00:41:04,470 --> 00:41:03,119 uh but because it is closer to the star 1157 00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:04,480 it is hotter it is 1158 00:41:08,790 --> 00:41:07,680 more energetic it's um completely 1159 00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:08,800 different wavelength 1160 00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,440 and it's really hard to see um compared 1161 00:41:15,190 --> 00:41:13,440 to the to the light of the star 1162 00:41:17,589 --> 00:41:15,200 so yeah this is this is the way we have 1163 00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:17,599 to to detect asteroids just by 1164 00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:20,240 the outcome of their collisions the dust 1165 00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:21,359 and we do know 1166 00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:24,720 a lot of um a lot of systems that 1167 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:27,280 have a lot of dust and therefore they 1168 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:28,800 probably have 1169 00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:31,440 a lot of asteroids or plantationals in 1170 00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:32,000 them 1171 00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:34,880 um and these are like in the images in 1172 00:41:37,589 --> 00:41:35,680 the infrared 1173 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:37,599 uh you can see they're very very bright 1174 00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:39,040 um because 1175 00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:40,560 that's really like swimming in the 1176 00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:42,960 infrared um and the star here we cannot 1177 00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:43,359 see it 1178 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,880 it's it's also really bright but we 1179 00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:46,560 cannot see it because it's obscured with 1180 00:41:50,309 --> 00:41:47,280 this 1181 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,319 um physical 1182 00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:52,079 dot that it's it's actually a thing that 1183 00:41:55,589 --> 00:41:53,839 we put on telescopes to 1184 00:41:57,030 --> 00:41:55,599 to block the light of the star and it's 1185 00:42:00,309 --> 00:41:57,040 called a chronograph 1186 00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:00,319 um so yeah we can see 1187 00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:03,040 the outcome of the presence of asteroids 1188 00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:04,160 um 1189 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:06,400 there is a type of asteroid though that 1190 00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:08,160 some people have tried to look for 1191 00:42:13,190 --> 00:42:11,200 there are called the trojan asteroids um 1192 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:13,200 in our solar system the most massive 1193 00:42:17,910 --> 00:42:14,640 planet is jupiter 1194 00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:17,920 and it has a special effect it's it's 1195 00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:20,960 it's gravity has special effects on on 1196 00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:22,880 the asteroids that are around them 1197 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:26,079 um what it tends to do it's to 1198 00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:30,000 um attract asteroids to share the orbit 1199 00:42:33,990 --> 00:42:32,079 so they they rotate around the sun in 1200 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:34,000 the same orbits jupiter does 1201 00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:37,040 but in these special points um 1202 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,640 there are a specific distance from the 1203 00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:40,560 sun as well so it's a combination of the 1204 00:42:44,470 --> 00:42:42,400 gravity of jupiter and the sun 1205 00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:44,480 um and so it's it's like they're 1206 00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:46,800 following jupiter along its orbit or 1207 00:42:50,309 --> 00:42:47,119 like 1208 00:42:51,109 --> 00:42:50,319 protecting it or something um so this is 1209 00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:51,119 what we call 1210 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:53,760 um the the trojan asteroids that are 1211 00:42:56,790 --> 00:42:54,480 located 1212 00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:56,800 uh normally in these lagrangian points 1213 00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:00,000 which are just like um 1214 00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:02,160 points where the gravity and the sun of 1215 00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:04,000 the in the case of sources the sun 1216 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:06,560 and the planets are combined um and we 1217 00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:07,920 don't think this happens in other 1218 00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:08,800 planetary systems 1219 00:43:11,670 --> 00:43:10,560 of course like it's it's a physical 1220 00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:11,680 thing it's a mathematical thing it 1221 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:12,560 happens 1222 00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,480 um so there is people that are trying to 1223 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:16,640 find this asteroid so far 1224 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:19,200 that i know they have not found evidence 1225 00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:20,160 of it yet 1226 00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:21,440 but it's a really cool project if you 1227 00:43:23,589 --> 00:43:22,480 want to check it out it's called the 1228 00:43:27,270 --> 00:43:23,599 troy project because 1229 00:43:28,870 --> 00:43:27,280 it's true um so yeah really interesting 1230 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:28,880 uh let's hope to see 1231 00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:31,440 if they find anything in the near future 1232 00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:32,079 um 1233 00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:34,640 and so without further ado i'm gonna go 1234 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:36,160 to my favorite ones 1235 00:43:40,069 --> 00:43:39,599 which are the comments um they are just 1236 00:43:41,270 --> 00:43:40,079 my favorite 1237 00:43:43,109 --> 00:43:41,280 ones because i spend so much time 1238 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:43,119 studying them that i feel like 1239 00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:44,800 i have a bit more knowledge so i like 1240 00:43:49,589 --> 00:43:46,160 them so much 1241 00:43:53,190 --> 00:43:49,599 uh but to talk about comments i'm 1242 00:43:54,710 --> 00:43:53,200 gonna make a quick parenthesis here 1243 00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:54,720 and talk about wavelength which is 1244 00:43:57,190 --> 00:43:56,000 something that i've been commenting 1245 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:57,200 about on the talk but 1246 00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:00,720 um just hold with me 1247 00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:03,760 um so the light if you 1248 00:44:07,829 --> 00:44:06,160 liked rock music from the 70s you know 1249 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:07,839 the light 1250 00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:10,880 when it passes through a prism it 1251 00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:11,599 separates 1252 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,960 into a rainbow if you like rainbows you 1253 00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:17,040 probably also know this 1254 00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:20,160 but if we put it 1255 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:23,520 through a very very fine prism 1256 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:27,680 we can actually see a lot of features 1257 00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:30,319 in that rainbow if we do it with the 1258 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:31,440 light of the sun 1259 00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:34,079 we get something like this we do get a 1260 00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:34,720 rainbow 1261 00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:38,640 vertical lines that 1262 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:42,079 um are marking uh very specific 1263 00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:43,200 characteristics 1264 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:45,440 of the sun it's like the fingerprints 1265 00:44:48,309 --> 00:44:46,800 it's something that's found in the sun 1266 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:48,319 that could not be found in any other 1267 00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:49,920 star 1268 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:53,040 so it kind of helps us 1269 00:44:56,390 --> 00:44:55,440 study it very well and what is causing 1270 00:44:59,030 --> 00:44:56,400 these fingerprints 1271 00:45:01,270 --> 00:44:59,040 this this features is basically the 1272 00:45:03,589 --> 00:45:01,280 material in the photosphere of the sun 1273 00:45:05,670 --> 00:45:03,599 so the sun produces light and that light 1274 00:45:08,069 --> 00:45:05,680 um goes through the whole 1275 00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:08,079 solar system this one astronomical unit 1276 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:09,839 until it reaches the earth 1277 00:45:14,470 --> 00:45:13,040 and that light um it's also going 1278 00:45:17,910 --> 00:45:14,480 through the photosphere of the sun 1279 00:45:20,069 --> 00:45:17,920 there is material surrounding the sun 1280 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:20,079 that that light transverses and that 1281 00:45:23,349 --> 00:45:21,520 material 1282 00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:23,359 is absorbing the light emitted from the 1283 00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,720 sun um 1284 00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:26,240 and if you know a little bit about 1285 00:45:30,069 --> 00:45:28,160 atomic physics or molecular physics 1286 00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:30,079 you will know that each atom and each 1287 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:32,160 molecule have their very 1288 00:45:38,630 --> 00:45:36,240 specific light that they like to absorb 1289 00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:38,640 and that's what creates a very specific 1290 00:45:42,790 --> 00:45:39,599 line 1291 00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:42,800 so for example um i 1292 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:45,440 think these are the sodium ones so 1293 00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:47,760 sodium really really likes 1294 00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:50,880 that particularly type of yellow so it 1295 00:45:55,349 --> 00:45:51,680 will absorb it 1296 00:45:57,910 --> 00:45:55,359 and will create this feature so we 1297 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:57,920 try to not only take this into account 1298 00:46:02,630 --> 00:45:59,520 but also take into account how 1299 00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:02,640 much the sun brides in each different 1300 00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:03,440 color 1301 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:06,560 um we can find something like this um 1302 00:46:13,349 --> 00:46:10,400 which i think it's a very cool uh plot 1303 00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:13,359 so this that it's um more transparent in 1304 00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:14,960 the background it's actually what the 1305 00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:16,240 sun emits 1306 00:46:21,270 --> 00:46:18,880 um and you see it emits a lot here this 1307 00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:21,280 is the visible light that we can see 1308 00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:23,680 um and this small features that you have 1309 00:46:27,829 --> 00:46:24,560 seen before 1310 00:46:28,630 --> 00:46:27,839 are these dents are the ones causing 1311 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:28,640 distance 1312 00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:30,720 and the more resolution we have the more 1313 00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:31,920 dense we can see 1314 00:46:39,349 --> 00:46:36,720 and the more elements we can identify um 1315 00:46:41,589 --> 00:46:39,359 for example here you can see this is the 1316 00:46:43,349 --> 00:46:41,599 light that it's emitted by the sun 1317 00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:43,359 but this is only the light that breaches 1318 00:46:46,950 --> 00:46:45,680 us and that's because this light is also 1319 00:46:49,990 --> 00:46:46,960 passing through another 1320 00:46:50,710 --> 00:46:50,000 atmosphere our own atmosphere um and 1321 00:46:54,829 --> 00:46:50,720 these 1322 00:46:57,750 --> 00:46:54,839 huge chunks here um it's our atmosphere 1323 00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:57,760 absorbing all the infrared light and 1324 00:47:01,670 --> 00:46:59,280 this is absorbed by the water 1325 00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:01,680 in our atmosphere so we basically cannot 1326 00:47:05,829 --> 00:47:02,640 see 1327 00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:05,839 um cannot try to look for water from the 1328 00:47:10,309 --> 00:47:06,560 earth 1329 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:10,319 because the light that would be um 1330 00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:13,520 absorbed by water in other planetary 1331 00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:14,720 systems in other planets 1332 00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:16,800 it's already absorbed by our planet so 1333 00:47:21,670 --> 00:47:18,400 it's really difficult to see 1334 00:47:23,829 --> 00:47:21,680 and here it's a very important part also 1335 00:47:25,109 --> 00:47:23,839 because uh our atmosphere is absorbing 1336 00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:25,119 all of these light 1337 00:47:29,829 --> 00:47:28,480 which is very energetic and it can cause 1338 00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:29,839 cancer and this is why 1339 00:47:35,670 --> 00:47:34,319 we wear a sunscreen in the summer 1340 00:47:38,069 --> 00:47:35,680 or if we're going to be in the sun for a 1341 00:47:39,589 --> 00:47:38,079 long time um so yeah thank you 1342 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:39,599 atmosphere 1343 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:42,960 so um going back to comets uh 1344 00:47:46,549 --> 00:47:45,839 if we um zoom in and we have a very high 1345 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:46,559 resolution 1346 00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:49,839 in this region in the visible region um 1347 00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:52,400 we can see all of these features all of 1348 00:47:57,270 --> 00:47:54,079 these tiny tiny features 1349 00:48:00,549 --> 00:47:57,280 um we can see them located in here 1350 00:48:03,430 --> 00:48:00,559 and i'm gonna zoom in in a region like 1351 00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:03,440 here more or less and this is one of 1352 00:48:06,309 --> 00:48:04,480 those features 1353 00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:06,319 this is not for the sun this is for the 1354 00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:07,920 star beta pictoris 1355 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:11,520 and this is a feature this is assuming 1356 00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:13,680 in one of the features and this one is 1357 00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:19,990 and if you pay attention to it 1358 00:48:24,549 --> 00:48:22,160 it's very obvious that there is not only 1359 00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:24,559 that feature but this feature 1360 00:48:28,150 --> 00:48:26,720 so what is this this is caused by the 1361 00:48:30,390 --> 00:48:28,160 calcium 1362 00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:30,400 in the photosphere of this star of beta 1363 00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:31,680 pictoris 1364 00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:34,400 so these must be caused by the calcium 1365 00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:36,000 located somewhere else 1366 00:48:39,510 --> 00:48:38,480 and we believe we're pretty sure that 1367 00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:39,520 this calcium 1368 00:48:44,069 --> 00:48:41,920 um it's actually located in the 1369 00:48:47,990 --> 00:48:44,079 circumstellar medium of the star so it's 1370 00:48:50,309 --> 00:48:48,000 very close to star it's it's in the disk 1371 00:48:51,109 --> 00:48:50,319 and then other thing you can see in this 1372 00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:51,119 image 1373 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:53,920 is that depending on the date there is 1374 00:48:59,109 --> 00:48:54,720 also these 1375 00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:03,190 that must be calcium somewhere else 1376 00:49:06,549 --> 00:49:05,119 this is always in the gaseous form by 1377 00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:06,559 the way um 1378 00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:08,960 so the explanation for this first please 1379 00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:11,200 note this is 1987. 1380 00:49:15,589 --> 00:49:14,079 um i was not born by then the 1381 00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:15,599 explanation for this was this 1382 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:18,880 given uh 10 years later 1383 00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:22,720 which is basically this is a comet um 1384 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:24,480 we have a star here and we are looking 1385 00:49:28,309 --> 00:49:26,640 from here and if a comet passes in front 1386 00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:28,319 of the star 1387 00:49:32,790 --> 00:49:31,200 with his huge tail of gas that it's 1388 00:49:33,430 --> 00:49:32,800 evaporating because it's really close to 1389 00:49:36,230 --> 00:49:33,440 star 1390 00:49:38,230 --> 00:49:36,240 it will create one of these features uh 1391 00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:38,240 in the calcium line which is 1392 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:40,079 the one that i'm showing here so every 1393 00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:41,599 time a comment passes by 1394 00:49:45,829 --> 00:49:44,160 it generates one of these so these 1395 00:49:48,230 --> 00:49:45,839 things that are seen here are 1396 00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:48,240 comments around other stars a star 1397 00:49:53,510 --> 00:49:49,359 different than the sun they're 1398 00:49:57,190 --> 00:49:53,520 exo comets again this was 1987 it was 1399 00:49:59,270 --> 00:49:57,200 crazy to say this was um 1400 00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:59,280 and exo comets because we didn't even 1401 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,119 have detected the first comet 1402 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:02,880 sorry the first planet by then we didn't 1403 00:50:07,030 --> 00:50:05,280 have exoplanets how could this be exodus 1404 00:50:08,309 --> 00:50:07,040 so they had to call them falling 1405 00:50:11,349 --> 00:50:08,319 evaporating bodies 1406 00:50:14,470 --> 00:50:11,359 uh not to upset the community 1407 00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:14,480 but comets in the solar system have two 1408 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:15,839 different faces 1409 00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:18,240 a gaseous one and a dusty one that 1410 00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:19,599 sometimes we can distinguish 1411 00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:22,160 sometimes we can't and these that i have 1412 00:50:26,309 --> 00:50:23,200 just showed you 1413 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:26,319 is the gaseous phase so 1414 00:50:29,910 --> 00:50:29,040 what happens with the dusty face well 1415 00:50:33,270 --> 00:50:29,920 what happens 1416 00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:33,280 is that we can also see it but um the 1417 00:50:35,910 --> 00:50:35,040 first time we detected an exocomet it 1418 00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:35,920 was this 1419 00:50:39,510 --> 00:50:38,079 uh this was actually reported in 2016 1420 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:39,520 but the paper did not came out until 1421 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:41,520 2018 1422 00:50:44,950 --> 00:50:43,520 and this was done with kepler data with 1423 00:50:46,230 --> 00:50:44,960 space telescope kepler 1424 00:50:48,230 --> 00:50:46,240 which was a mission that took 1425 00:50:50,470 --> 00:50:48,240 photometric points so it measured the 1426 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:50,480 light coming from the star 1427 00:50:54,309 --> 00:50:53,440 at different times and you could see how 1428 00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:54,319 it drops 1429 00:51:00,870 --> 00:50:57,599 here uh in a very weird shark fin 1430 00:51:02,549 --> 00:51:00,880 shape um and these are comets 1431 00:51:04,470 --> 00:51:02,559 uh and the explanation for this weird 1432 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:04,480 shape is just this one 1433 00:51:11,270 --> 00:51:07,760 so comets have a very hard solid 1434 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:11,280 nucleus that it's basically made of rock 1435 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,000 and ice 1436 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:14,400 and then they have a huge tail that has 1437 00:51:19,589 --> 00:51:16,720 less and less material the further 1438 00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:19,599 you are from the comet so what we have 1439 00:51:22,630 --> 00:51:20,160 is 1440 00:51:24,069 --> 00:51:22,640 um an ingress so when the comet starts 1441 00:51:25,910 --> 00:51:24,079 passing in front of the star 1442 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:25,920 that looks like a solid body so it looks 1443 00:51:29,670 --> 00:51:27,440 like the transit of a planet 1444 00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:29,680 and then as the comet passes by we have 1445 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:31,280 less and less material because the tail 1446 00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:32,480 fades away 1447 00:51:36,309 --> 00:51:34,960 so it has this kind of exponential delay 1448 00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:36,319 you think it's really cool 1449 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:39,440 um so we do detect comets in gas 1450 00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:42,720 and we do detect comets in um 1451 00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:45,920 in photometry the dust part um but we 1452 00:51:50,309 --> 00:51:47,200 only know a handful of 1453 00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:50,319 stars that actually have comets and 1454 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,720 this is a very nice plot from a sorry 1455 00:51:57,430 --> 00:51:54,960 table from paper that came out this year 1456 00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:57,440 and they have these four stars where 1457 00:52:00,069 --> 00:51:59,440 they say okay we know these are comments 1458 00:52:01,990 --> 00:52:00,079 we have 1459 00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:02,000 proof in different wavelengths or with 1460 00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:03,119 different methods 1461 00:52:06,470 --> 00:52:05,760 and we know these have comments but we 1462 00:52:09,349 --> 00:52:06,480 think 1463 00:52:10,470 --> 00:52:09,359 um some of these also have comments 1464 00:52:12,230 --> 00:52:10,480 we're just not sure 1465 00:52:13,270 --> 00:52:12,240 yet because we come we have only seen 1466 00:52:14,069 --> 00:52:13,280 like a couple of them and these 1467 00:52:15,430 --> 00:52:14,079 variations are 1468 00:52:17,270 --> 00:52:15,440 really really small because comets are 1469 00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,280 very small so these 1470 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:18,960 are all these stars are still being 1471 00:52:24,870 --> 00:52:21,119 studied to check if they're comments 1472 00:52:25,510 --> 00:52:24,880 or not um and this is uh what we know 1473 00:52:26,870 --> 00:52:25,520 about the 1474 00:52:28,790 --> 00:52:26,880 characteristics of the stars that have 1475 00:52:31,990 --> 00:52:28,800 comets um 1476 00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:32,000 basically what we see here is that 1477 00:52:35,589 --> 00:52:34,160 the stars that have comets are rotating 1478 00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:35,599 really fast this is the rotational 1479 00:52:38,870 --> 00:52:36,960 velocity of the star 1480 00:52:40,069 --> 00:52:38,880 um the ones with comets are the yellow 1481 00:52:41,910 --> 00:52:40,079 ones um 1482 00:52:43,829 --> 00:52:41,920 and we also see that they have a 1483 00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:43,839 particular color that is corresponding 1484 00:52:48,630 --> 00:52:46,000 with the stars that are quite hot um 1485 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:48,640 these stars are called a type stars um 1486 00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:50,319 they're not the hottest ones 1487 00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:52,400 but they're definitely hotter and larger 1488 00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,440 than the sun 1489 00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:55,839 and we also see that again the variable 1490 00:53:00,390 --> 00:52:57,920 assertions are the exocomets 1491 00:53:01,829 --> 00:53:00,400 the exocomic candidate stars there is no 1492 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:01,839 trend with age 1493 00:53:05,109 --> 00:53:04,160 initially we would expect to have a lot 1494 00:53:07,349 --> 00:53:05,119 of comets 1495 00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:07,359 in stars that are very young because 1496 00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:09,599 they are really dynamically active 1497 00:53:13,750 --> 00:53:11,760 the the system is still trying to settle 1498 00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:13,760 down so there's a lot of interactions 1499 00:53:16,230 --> 00:53:14,559 and so on 1500 00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:16,240 but we actually find it in stars that 1501 00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:18,160 are fairly old 1502 00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:20,640 so so yeah we cannot we do not have a 1503 00:53:24,630 --> 00:53:21,359 constraint 1504 00:53:25,670 --> 00:53:24,640 on on when do this exocomic phenomenon 1505 00:53:28,790 --> 00:53:25,680 happen 1506 00:53:31,910 --> 00:53:28,800 um i'm going to talk real quick about 1507 00:53:35,430 --> 00:53:31,920 uh beta victories which is like 1508 00:53:37,670 --> 00:53:35,440 the model star for exo 1509 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:37,680 comets but it's a mother this model star 1510 00:53:42,069 --> 00:53:38,800 for many many things 1511 00:53:44,069 --> 00:53:42,079 so um if you remember it was the 1512 00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:44,079 star that i was talking about before 1513 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:46,160 this is the first star where exo-comets 1514 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:46,720 were found 1515 00:53:51,990 --> 00:53:50,640 in 1987 um but it's it's very 1516 00:53:52,549 --> 00:53:52,000 interesting for many other things like 1517 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:52,559 it's 1518 00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:55,040 an a-type star as i told before which 1519 00:53:57,990 --> 00:53:56,640 means it's hotter than the sun it's 1520 00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:58,000 larger than the sun 1521 00:54:02,549 --> 00:54:00,240 it's fairly young it's only 23 million 1522 00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:02,559 years old 1523 00:54:06,069 --> 00:54:04,880 well the sun it's way older it's 1524 00:54:09,109 --> 00:54:06,079 thousands 1525 00:54:10,069 --> 00:54:09,119 of millions years it has a very high 1526 00:54:12,390 --> 00:54:10,079 rotational velocity 1527 00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:12,400 like the stars where we have found these 1528 00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:13,599 type of comets 1529 00:54:19,349 --> 00:54:17,040 um it's fairly close uh i know 1530 00:54:21,430 --> 00:54:19,359 10 to the 14th mile sounds really far 1531 00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:21,440 away but it's only 19 per seconds away 1532 00:54:25,430 --> 00:54:24,720 fairly close um and it has a very bright 1533 00:54:28,470 --> 00:54:25,440 disc 1534 00:54:30,390 --> 00:54:28,480 so the the fraction of the light 1535 00:54:31,829 --> 00:54:30,400 of the star compared to sorry of the 1536 00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:31,839 dust compared to the light of the star 1537 00:54:34,470 --> 00:54:32,240 is 1538 00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:34,480 quite high uh to be honest so it has 1539 00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:35,760 this huge disc 1540 00:54:39,829 --> 00:54:37,520 of material around the stars that would 1541 00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:39,839 be here um 1542 00:54:43,750 --> 00:54:42,240 and it it's a really cool disc because 1543 00:54:46,069 --> 00:54:43,760 it has two discs 1544 00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:46,079 so it has the primary disc um that we 1545 00:54:49,030 --> 00:54:46,880 see here 1546 00:54:50,309 --> 00:54:49,040 but it it also has like a tilted 1547 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:50,319 secondary disc 1548 00:54:56,309 --> 00:54:53,440 uh which it gets weird and 1549 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,319 it happens that in this secondary disk 1550 00:55:01,829 --> 00:54:57,920 or 1551 00:55:04,789 --> 00:55:01,839 disk there is actually a planet 1552 00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:04,799 um that was found with imaging so this 1553 00:55:10,150 --> 00:55:06,880 is a system that we know so far that has 1554 00:55:14,630 --> 00:55:10,160 a disc that has exocomets that has 1555 00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:14,640 um a planet um it has a tilted disc 1556 00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:17,760 but um it also has a second planet that 1557 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:18,319 has found 1558 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:21,119 that was found in in video velocity and 1559 00:55:26,069 --> 00:55:21,760 this 1560 00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:26,079 is a animation of the comets we see in 1561 00:55:31,190 --> 00:55:27,520 beta victories through 1562 00:55:34,150 --> 00:55:31,200 several nights months days 1563 00:55:35,349 --> 00:55:34,160 and you see how extreme the variations 1564 00:55:39,109 --> 00:55:35,359 are 1565 00:55:39,750 --> 00:55:39,119 around this star um here you see like 1566 00:55:41,349 --> 00:55:39,760 this is 1567 00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:41,359 the combination of all those variations 1568 00:55:46,309 --> 00:55:43,200 so there is like a preferential 1569 00:55:48,069 --> 00:55:46,319 um velocity for these comets but 1570 00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:48,079 you see that there's thousands of them 1571 00:55:51,750 --> 00:55:49,440 basically every time we look into beta 1572 00:55:55,030 --> 00:55:51,760 pic we see there's a lot of comments 1573 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,040 um so going back to 1574 00:55:58,309 --> 00:55:57,599 the other exocomet stars you see that 1575 00:56:01,829 --> 00:55:58,319 the picture is 1576 00:56:03,190 --> 00:56:01,839 here um along with a couple others that 1577 00:56:03,990 --> 00:56:03,200 we are fairly sure they have exo 1578 00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:04,000 comments 1579 00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:05,760 and then we have a bunch of them that we 1580 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:07,440 think they have exo comets 1581 00:56:14,069 --> 00:56:11,119 but um they don't so 1582 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:14,079 there is at least these two that we have 1583 00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:14,880 found 1584 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,920 that the variations we see um 1585 00:56:21,190 --> 00:56:19,680 this type of lines like the calcium line 1586 00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:21,200 i showed you are not 1587 00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:23,680 actually produced by comets they're just 1588 00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:25,200 produced by some other things 1589 00:56:28,950 --> 00:56:26,720 and the first one i'm going to talk 1590 00:56:30,789 --> 00:56:28,960 about is hr10 1591 00:56:32,390 --> 00:56:30,799 and this was one of the canonical 1592 00:56:35,270 --> 00:56:32,400 exo-comment stars like 1593 00:56:35,589 --> 00:56:35,280 this was in several papers saying oh 1594 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:35,599 this 1595 00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:37,839 star has definitely extra comets we see 1596 00:56:42,230 --> 00:56:39,599 a lot of variations 1597 00:56:44,230 --> 00:56:42,240 um and when we started it we did see a 1598 00:56:46,470 --> 00:56:44,240 lot of variations 1599 00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:46,480 check this out for example this is again 1600 00:56:52,870 --> 00:56:49,599 the same calcium line 1601 00:56:54,710 --> 00:56:52,880 but um we see that there is like 1602 00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:54,720 a component here that looks like the 1603 00:56:58,470 --> 00:56:56,960 component of the circumstellar gas 1604 00:57:00,630 --> 00:56:58,480 that it's around the star like in the 1605 00:57:03,109 --> 00:57:00,640 disk and then we see some variations 1606 00:57:04,390 --> 00:57:03,119 coming here coming here coming here so 1607 00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:04,400 yeah it looks like 1608 00:57:08,950 --> 00:57:07,760 it has exo comets but we did a very 1609 00:57:11,589 --> 00:57:08,960 thorough study 1610 00:57:12,069 --> 00:57:11,599 uh through many many nights and even 1611 00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,079 combined 1612 00:57:15,750 --> 00:57:14,319 it with years of observations and what 1613 00:57:19,030 --> 00:57:15,760 we found is that 1614 00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:19,040 uh this feature appears to be moving 1615 00:57:24,470 --> 00:57:22,240 uh further away in this case um and then 1616 00:57:27,270 --> 00:57:24,480 at some point it comes back 1617 00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:27,280 and if you plot the two features that we 1618 00:57:31,990 --> 00:57:29,599 can separate here for example 1619 00:57:33,270 --> 00:57:32,000 we find this um so the features are 1620 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:33,280 actually coming and going 1621 00:57:37,829 --> 00:57:36,079 you see this is from uh 30 years ago i 1622 00:57:40,789 --> 00:57:37,839 think or so 20 something 1623 00:57:42,309 --> 00:57:40,799 um so the features come and go following 1624 00:57:43,829 --> 00:57:42,319 this this is where we did the study 1625 00:57:47,270 --> 00:57:43,839 where we have a lot of data 1626 00:57:48,789 --> 00:57:47,280 um what does this mean um so it just 1627 00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:48,799 means that this is not 1628 00:57:53,349 --> 00:57:51,760 start with exocomets is two stars with 1629 00:57:55,109 --> 00:57:53,359 two disks each 1630 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:55,119 that are orbiting each other in a very 1631 00:58:01,030 --> 00:57:57,119 particular configuration 1632 00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:01,040 um and so it appears that it's only one 1633 00:58:07,589 --> 00:58:04,720 and it has um a common 1634 00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:07,599 circumstellarist so just one disk and 1635 00:58:11,990 --> 00:58:09,440 variations that could be exocomets 1636 00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:12,000 but it's not it's just it just happens 1637 00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:13,040 to be stars with 1638 00:58:17,109 --> 00:58:15,760 very similar temperatures um in a very 1639 00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:17,119 particular orbit they're 1640 00:58:20,309 --> 00:58:18,880 even really really close so it's really 1641 00:58:23,589 --> 00:58:20,319 hard to tell them apart 1642 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:23,599 um so yeah it was just a bad coincidence 1643 00:58:28,309 --> 00:58:25,839 that we could only rule out after 1644 00:58:30,230 --> 00:58:28,319 years and years and years of research 1645 00:58:33,349 --> 00:58:30,240 and there is another one that was 1646 00:58:35,829 --> 00:58:33,359 uh harder to to rule out 1647 00:58:37,670 --> 00:58:35,839 is this one this is also very dear to me 1648 00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:37,680 because this is like the first 1649 00:58:41,829 --> 00:58:41,280 um star that came out of my phd thesis 1650 00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:41,839 work 1651 00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:44,720 um published by one of my supervisors um 1652 00:58:49,589 --> 00:58:46,720 and we found well he found 1653 00:58:51,030 --> 00:58:49,599 that there was a lot of variations um i 1654 00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:51,040 took some of these observations 1655 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:54,000 this is like very there to me um and it 1656 00:58:58,789 --> 00:58:55,599 does look that there are comments it 1657 00:58:59,910 --> 00:58:58,799 does look like there is variations in 1658 00:59:03,109 --> 00:58:59,920 there 1659 00:59:05,109 --> 00:59:03,119 but after again months a couple of years 1660 00:59:05,990 --> 00:59:05,119 of study where we took a lot a lot a lot 1661 00:59:08,549 --> 00:59:06,000 of data 1662 00:59:09,109 --> 00:59:08,559 we found out that this is actually not 1663 00:59:12,150 --> 00:59:09,119 comets 1664 00:59:14,710 --> 00:59:12,160 it's just that there is um 1665 00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:14,720 the star is pulsating it's like wobbling 1666 00:59:17,829 --> 00:59:15,599 like this 1667 00:59:19,589 --> 00:59:17,839 um and it's expelling some material to 1668 00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:19,599 the to the disk around it 1669 00:59:22,950 --> 00:59:21,760 and it looks like there is a variation i 1670 00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:22,960 mean there is a variation in the 1671 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:24,640 circumstellar material to be fair 1672 00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:26,559 but it's not caused by comets is caused 1673 00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:28,400 by the star 1674 00:59:35,030 --> 00:59:31,680 um but no fear because 1675 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:35,040 we do find some comments 1676 00:59:39,670 --> 00:59:38,160 still um this was one of the ones that 1677 00:59:40,950 --> 00:59:39,680 the stars that we found have comments 1678 00:59:44,549 --> 00:59:40,960 from my phd thesis 1679 00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:44,559 this is a tiny comment here um 1680 00:59:48,309 --> 00:59:46,799 and this is actually a very particular a 1681 00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:48,319 particularly interesting star 1682 00:59:52,630 --> 00:59:50,640 because it has everything just like not 1683 00:59:54,230 --> 00:59:52,640 like metal victories but 1684 00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:54,240 feels like better victories because it 1685 00:59:57,670 --> 00:59:56,720 has um availabilities that it's really 1686 01:00:00,309 --> 00:59:57,680 really bright 1687 01:00:01,109 --> 01:00:00,319 it has some excess here uh if you 1688 01:00:03,109 --> 01:00:01,119 remember this 1689 01:00:04,309 --> 01:00:03,119 is the light that we spec from the star 1690 01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:04,319 and this would be the disk 1691 01:00:07,510 --> 01:00:06,240 but it also has some access here that we 1692 01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:07,520 think comes 1693 01:00:12,870 --> 01:00:10,880 from carbon in the disk so there might 1694 01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:12,880 be like a recent giant collision or 1695 01:00:15,349 --> 01:00:14,960 something that is releasing carbon so 1696 01:00:16,710 --> 01:00:15,359 that's 1697 01:00:18,870 --> 01:00:16,720 really really exciting it could also be 1698 01:00:21,109 --> 01:00:18,880 causing the extra comets um 1699 01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:21,119 and and we have even observed this with 1700 01:00:25,589 --> 01:00:23,440 an image so we know the disk is there 1701 01:00:27,270 --> 01:00:25,599 um so yeah this is one of the targets 1702 01:00:30,309 --> 01:00:27,280 that i'm most excited about 1703 01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:30,319 for the future um yeah 1704 01:00:37,030 --> 01:00:34,720 and so what's next um so 1705 01:00:37,910 --> 01:00:37,040 it's really hard to study exocomets um 1706 01:00:40,069 --> 01:00:37,920 they're very 1707 01:00:41,990 --> 01:00:40,079 time expensive you need to spend a lot 1708 01:00:43,109 --> 01:00:42,000 of nights in the telescope and take a 1709 01:00:45,670 --> 01:00:43,119 lot of data 1710 01:00:47,030 --> 01:00:45,680 to figure out to even try to catch one 1711 01:00:47,750 --> 01:00:47,040 of these events because they're highly 1712 01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:47,760 sporadic 1713 01:00:51,030 --> 01:00:49,760 you might be observing for i don't know 1714 01:00:53,430 --> 01:00:51,040 a year and not catch 1715 01:00:54,309 --> 01:00:53,440 any uh events except for the victories 1716 01:00:57,030 --> 01:00:54,319 where it's happening 1717 01:00:58,230 --> 01:00:57,040 every hour but for other stars it's not 1718 01:01:00,230 --> 01:00:58,240 that common 1719 01:01:02,789 --> 01:01:00,240 so it takes a lot of time it takes a lot 1720 01:01:03,829 --> 01:01:02,799 of money overall because you have to pay 1721 01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:03,839 someone to be there 1722 01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:05,760 like a student or a researcher or 1723 01:01:08,549 --> 01:01:06,880 someone 1724 01:01:09,990 --> 01:01:08,559 and you have to take the telescope for 1725 01:01:10,950 --> 01:01:10,000 yourself and other people need to do 1726 01:01:14,549 --> 01:01:10,960 research as well 1727 01:01:16,309 --> 01:01:14,559 so it's really really hard to do it um 1728 01:01:18,470 --> 01:01:16,319 but these sexual comments leave other 1729 01:01:20,230 --> 01:01:18,480 traces that we can actually follow 1730 01:01:21,750 --> 01:01:20,240 um when they evaporate because they 1731 01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:21,760 release gas and that 1732 01:01:25,109 --> 01:01:24,720 sometimes stays in the system so what we 1733 01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:25,119 do 1734 01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:29,760 it's try to go to antennas to long 1735 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:32,880 wavelength um observatories like 1736 01:01:36,150 --> 01:01:35,040 these images we're taking with alma and 1737 01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:36,160 these traces 1738 01:01:40,710 --> 01:01:38,720 co gas that it's in the outer region of 1739 01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:40,720 the system that we believed 1740 01:01:47,109 --> 01:01:44,000 um has has originated 1741 01:01:49,670 --> 01:01:47,119 in secondary um 1742 01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:49,680 processes so collisions or evaporation 1743 01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:50,640 of bodies 1744 01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:53,280 so these gas that we are seeing here um 1745 01:01:55,829 --> 01:01:55,280 is not a result of the planet formation 1746 01:01:59,510 --> 01:01:55,839 process 1747 01:02:01,990 --> 01:01:59,520 itself but was generated afterwards um 1748 01:02:02,950 --> 01:02:02,000 with the release of gas from the the 1749 01:02:05,829 --> 01:02:02,960 small bodies 1750 01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:05,839 in these systems so this looks like the 1751 01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:06,960 path to follow 1752 01:02:10,710 --> 01:02:09,680 to to go on studying exo comments 1753 01:02:13,190 --> 01:02:10,720 because it's 1754 01:02:14,470 --> 01:02:13,200 let's say less time expensive we cannot 1755 01:02:16,789 --> 01:02:14,480 study the dynamics of 1756 01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:16,799 the comments like this but it looks like 1757 01:02:21,510 --> 01:02:18,559 we could at least study the presence 1758 01:02:23,670 --> 01:02:21,520 and we could somehow study um some more 1759 01:02:24,230 --> 01:02:23,680 volatile materials because calcium is 1760 01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:24,240 not like 1761 01:02:30,710 --> 01:02:27,760 the best um tracer for volatiles that we 1762 01:02:32,789 --> 01:02:30,720 could be interested on like water 1763 01:02:33,829 --> 01:02:32,799 so so there is a lot of a lot of the 1764 01:02:35,750 --> 01:02:33,839 community is trying 1765 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:35,760 it's focusing now on this type of 1766 01:02:38,789 --> 01:02:36,880 studies um 1767 01:02:40,069 --> 01:02:38,799 at long wavelengths of this gas that 1768 01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:40,079 it's 1769 01:02:50,630 --> 01:02:47,599 and one um really exciting 1770 01:02:53,349 --> 01:02:50,640 project we have for the future it's to 1771 01:02:55,109 --> 01:02:53,359 try to use james webb uh to study this 1772 01:02:57,829 --> 01:02:55,119 gas 1773 01:02:58,789 --> 01:02:57,839 so james webb will be launched late 1774 01:03:01,589 --> 01:02:58,799 october 1775 01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:01,599 early november or just around maybe 1776 01:03:04,549 --> 01:03:03,280 before christmas we hope we hope it 1777 01:03:06,549 --> 01:03:04,559 depends on the aryan 1778 01:03:08,390 --> 01:03:06,559 rockets so let's hope everything goes 1779 01:03:11,270 --> 01:03:08,400 well um 1780 01:03:12,150 --> 01:03:11,280 it's the next uh nasa big telescope it's 1781 01:03:14,950 --> 01:03:12,160 also 1782 01:03:16,870 --> 01:03:14,960 uh the collaboration with issa and the 1783 01:03:19,270 --> 01:03:16,880 canadian space agency 1784 01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:19,280 so um it's going to be like the success 1785 01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:21,520 the successor of hubble but as brandon 1786 01:03:24,950 --> 01:03:23,119 told at the beginning 1787 01:03:27,109 --> 01:03:24,960 no one will replace hubble javelins or 1788 01:03:29,670 --> 01:03:27,119 ultraviolet eye in the sky but this 1789 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:29,680 would be our infrared eye in the sky now 1790 01:03:34,870 --> 01:03:31,599 that we don't have spitzer anymore 1791 01:03:37,990 --> 01:03:34,880 uh which was the previous uh mission 1792 01:03:40,390 --> 01:03:38,000 i think brandon also mentioned it um 1793 01:03:41,430 --> 01:03:40,400 and nasa oh sorry and james webb will do 1794 01:03:44,870 --> 01:03:41,440 something 1795 01:03:47,829 --> 01:03:44,880 really really important for the study of 1796 01:03:49,589 --> 01:03:47,839 life in other planetary systems for this 1797 01:03:53,029 --> 01:03:49,599 study of the chemical compositions of 1798 01:03:54,950 --> 01:03:53,039 the planet's resistance which is access 1799 01:03:56,789 --> 01:03:54,960 wavelengths that we could not do we 1800 01:03:58,710 --> 01:03:56,799 cannot observe from earth 1801 01:03:59,990 --> 01:03:58,720 and it will do it with a really high 1802 01:04:03,270 --> 01:04:00,000 spatial resolution 1803 01:04:04,630 --> 01:04:03,280 and with higher um um spectral 1804 01:04:08,150 --> 01:04:04,640 resolution that we have 1805 01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:08,160 uh until now um so so it's gonna 1806 01:04:12,230 --> 01:04:11,359 allow us to look at this these are some 1807 01:04:13,589 --> 01:04:12,240 of the instruments 1808 01:04:15,990 --> 01:04:13,599 sorry the instruments that are on board 1809 01:04:18,390 --> 01:04:16,000 of james webb so we will observe 1810 01:04:19,349 --> 01:04:18,400 from them from the red from the end of 1811 01:04:22,630 --> 01:04:19,359 the visible 1812 01:04:25,029 --> 01:04:22,640 to quite into the medium infrared 1813 01:04:26,789 --> 01:04:25,039 um and it will if you remember that the 1814 01:04:28,630 --> 01:04:26,799 the plot from before 1815 01:04:30,150 --> 01:04:28,640 it will allow us to look into these 1816 01:04:33,190 --> 01:04:30,160 chunks of 1817 01:04:35,510 --> 01:04:33,200 um of light that our atmosphere is 1818 01:04:37,510 --> 01:04:35,520 um absorbing and we cannot see from 1819 01:04:38,630 --> 01:04:37,520 earth so we will be able to do this from 1820 01:04:40,309 --> 01:04:38,640 space 1821 01:04:41,829 --> 01:04:40,319 and if you remember these chunks of 1822 01:04:45,190 --> 01:04:41,839 light that are absorbed from 1823 01:04:47,589 --> 01:04:45,200 our atmosphere are absorbed by water 1824 01:04:48,630 --> 01:04:47,599 so that means uh james webb will allow 1825 01:04:50,950 --> 01:04:48,640 us to look 1826 01:04:52,470 --> 01:04:50,960 uh for water in those systems because 1827 01:04:54,309 --> 01:04:52,480 our atmosphere would no longer be a 1828 01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:54,319 problem 1829 01:04:57,430 --> 01:04:56,640 and with this i hope you enjoyed the 1830 01:04:59,349 --> 01:04:57,440 talk 1831 01:05:03,990 --> 01:04:59,359 i thank you so much for coming and i'll 1832 01:05:07,829 --> 01:05:07,349 great thank you isabel um there's a lot 1833 01:05:09,270 --> 01:05:07,839 of inter 1834 01:05:11,349 --> 01:05:09,280 there's a lot of great conversations 1835 01:05:13,750 --> 01:05:11,359 going on in the uh 1836 01:05:14,470 --> 01:05:13,760 in the youtube chat i will just say that 1837 01:05:16,390 --> 01:05:14,480 if you are 1838 01:05:17,990 --> 01:05:16,400 in the youtube chat and you you miss 1839 01:05:20,309 --> 01:05:18,000 frank summers um 1840 01:05:21,029 --> 01:05:20,319 feel free to write down in in there and 1841 01:05:23,430 --> 01:05:21,039 give him a 1842 01:05:25,190 --> 01:05:23,440 wish for a happy uh vacation that'll be 1843 01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:25,200 a nice surprise when he sees that 1844 01:05:31,109 --> 01:05:28,559 um and 1845 01:05:31,910 --> 01:05:31,119 yeah i have a lot of questions i so my 1846 01:05:33,670 --> 01:05:31,920 when i watch 1847 01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:33,680 uh your presentation isabel and and 1848 01:05:38,069 --> 01:05:35,520 we'll get to some questions in the chat 1849 01:05:39,270 --> 01:05:38,079 what struck me was that uh you are doing 1850 01:05:42,549 --> 01:05:39,280 really hard work 1851 01:05:45,589 --> 01:05:42,559 this is really difficult work um 1852 01:05:47,589 --> 01:05:45,599 you know i when i did my phd i i did it 1853 01:05:49,510 --> 01:05:47,599 on on using spectroscopy of very 1854 01:05:50,950 --> 01:05:49,520 difficult to detect lines and things 1855 01:05:52,789 --> 01:05:50,960 and i thought that was hard but this 1856 01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:52,799 also looks very 1857 01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:54,960 very very difficult and so um kudos to 1858 01:05:59,349 --> 01:05:55,920 you and your team for 1859 01:06:01,029 --> 01:05:59,359 for taking this on um i'll start with a 1860 01:06:02,390 --> 01:06:01,039 question and then maybe grant can let us 1861 01:06:02,789 --> 01:06:02,400 know if there's some good questions from 1862 01:06:08,549 --> 01:06:02,799 the 1863 01:06:12,390 --> 01:06:08,559 uh let me see which one do i want to 1864 01:06:15,910 --> 01:06:14,069 i i guess i'll start with where you 1865 01:06:16,309 --> 01:06:15,920 ended which you ended with with james 1866 01:06:22,390 --> 01:06:16,319 webb 1867 01:06:23,589 --> 01:06:22,400 what other big breakthroughs in in the 1868 01:06:25,270 --> 01:06:23,599 field in your 1869 01:06:26,950 --> 01:06:25,280 in this field where will it come from 1870 01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:26,960 are there other particular telescopes or 1871 01:06:31,990 --> 01:06:28,960 techniques that's going to help us 1872 01:06:35,430 --> 01:06:32,000 um explore exocomics 1873 01:06:35,910 --> 01:06:35,440 yeah so um alma is doing a great job 1874 01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:35,920 with this 1875 01:06:40,470 --> 01:06:38,880 almighty interferometer that it's 1876 01:06:42,470 --> 01:06:40,480 located in chile 1877 01:06:44,309 --> 01:06:42,480 it's a bunch of antennas and the more 1878 01:06:46,069 --> 01:06:44,319 antennas you use just let's say the 1879 01:06:49,270 --> 01:06:46,079 higher resolution you get 1880 01:06:51,349 --> 01:06:49,280 so it has incredible resolving power 1881 01:06:52,309 --> 01:06:51,359 um and it allows us to actually look 1882 01:06:54,950 --> 01:06:52,319 into the systems 1883 01:06:56,630 --> 01:06:54,960 and see how they look like what's the 1884 01:06:57,670 --> 01:06:56,640 structure if there are rings in their 1885 01:06:59,589 --> 01:06:57,680 gaps 1886 01:07:00,950 --> 01:06:59,599 where is the gas located what's the 1887 01:07:02,230 --> 01:07:00,960 temperature of the gas what's the 1888 01:07:05,270 --> 01:07:02,240 composition 1889 01:07:08,950 --> 01:07:05,280 so um a lot of people are turning 1890 01:07:12,309 --> 01:07:08,960 uh to this type of of observatories 1891 01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:12,319 to do so from ground um i mentioned alma 1892 01:07:16,069 --> 01:07:13,039 but there's 1893 01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:16,079 pla apex there's a bunch of 1894 01:07:19,750 --> 01:07:17,680 observatories that are really good to do 1895 01:07:21,510 --> 01:07:19,760 so and i think 1896 01:07:23,349 --> 01:07:21,520 like if people are interested small 1897 01:07:24,710 --> 01:07:23,359 telescopes are also going to play a part 1898 01:07:26,470 --> 01:07:24,720 because these stars are really really 1899 01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:26,480 bright um 1900 01:07:29,829 --> 01:07:28,000 so you can just observe it with a small 1901 01:07:32,789 --> 01:07:29,839 telescope which are not so 1902 01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:32,799 pressured in terms of of observing time 1903 01:07:35,829 --> 01:07:34,319 so not as many people in the community 1904 01:07:37,270 --> 01:07:35,839 are demanding them 1905 01:07:40,710 --> 01:07:37,280 so so they could also play a role in 1906 01:07:43,829 --> 01:07:42,710 um i'll do a quick follow-up before i 1907 01:07:47,349 --> 01:07:43,839 before i turn it over 1908 01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:47,359 uh i'm curious if 1909 01:07:53,510 --> 01:07:50,400 if if roman will have any 1910 01:07:55,190 --> 01:07:53,520 any advantages here with its ability to 1911 01:07:56,069 --> 01:07:55,200 survey large patches of the sky i don't 1912 01:07:58,630 --> 01:07:56,079 know if 1913 01:08:01,109 --> 01:07:58,640 if for example if microlensing is a 1914 01:08:04,710 --> 01:08:01,119 technique that's helpful for finding 1915 01:08:07,990 --> 01:08:04,720 um moons maybe not comets but moons um 1916 01:08:08,630 --> 01:08:08,000 yeah definitely so there is a lot like 1917 01:08:10,150 --> 01:08:08,640 i'm not 1918 01:08:11,829 --> 01:08:10,160 expert in ones i just like them pretty 1919 01:08:14,549 --> 01:08:11,839 much very much um 1920 01:08:15,990 --> 01:08:14,559 um there is a lot of proposals on 1921 01:08:17,189 --> 01:08:16,000 techniques that could be used to look 1922 01:08:18,870 --> 01:08:17,199 for moons 1923 01:08:20,390 --> 01:08:18,880 and definitely necro lands you could 1924 01:08:23,030 --> 01:08:20,400 microlens it could be one 1925 01:08:24,149 --> 01:08:23,040 but uh as you know microlensing is 1926 01:08:25,669 --> 01:08:24,159 really difficult to use 1927 01:08:27,269 --> 01:08:25,679 because we depend on so many 1928 01:08:29,910 --> 01:08:27,279 astronomical factors 1929 01:08:31,269 --> 01:08:29,920 um so it's probably not the most 1930 01:08:33,189 --> 01:08:31,279 reliable like we could 1931 01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:33,199 we should not count on microlensing 1932 01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:34,400 alone to find moons 1933 01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:37,520 we should have a backup plan yeah 1934 01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:40,799 yeah so so i think there is where 1935 01:08:44,309 --> 01:08:42,880 other missions like tests for example 1936 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:44,319 are going to provide a lot of data they 1937 01:08:47,590 --> 01:08:45,839 have just announced that test is going 1938 01:08:48,870 --> 01:08:47,600 to improve a lot the cadence of the data 1939 01:08:52,070 --> 01:08:48,880 that they're taking 1940 01:08:53,349 --> 01:08:52,080 um so so yeah i think those type of 1941 01:08:55,990 --> 01:08:53,359 missions are going to play a role 1942 01:08:58,070 --> 01:08:56,000 in detecting moons okay and i i would be 1943 01:08:59,990 --> 01:08:58,080 a bad host if i didn't quickly explain a 1944 01:09:02,870 --> 01:09:00,000 technical term i just introduced 1945 01:09:03,910 --> 01:09:02,880 so um so for the audience uh 1946 01:09:07,110 --> 01:09:03,920 microlensing 1947 01:09:10,229 --> 01:09:07,120 is a technique in which you actually use 1948 01:09:13,829 --> 01:09:10,239 um gravitational lensing the mass of 1949 01:09:16,470 --> 01:09:13,839 a um the mass of of the object 1950 01:09:17,990 --> 01:09:16,480 to brighten essentially the light of a 1951 01:09:19,910 --> 01:09:18,000 background object so 1952 01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:19,920 roman will stare at lots and lots of 1953 01:09:23,910 --> 01:09:22,080 stars as it surveys 1954 01:09:26,390 --> 01:09:23,920 and sometimes those stars may just 1955 01:09:28,950 --> 01:09:26,400 brighten because a foreground planet 1956 01:09:30,789 --> 01:09:28,960 comes between us and that star and its 1957 01:09:33,269 --> 01:09:30,799 gravitational influence will actually 1958 01:09:33,990 --> 01:09:33,279 redirect the light and brighten it and 1959 01:09:35,669 --> 01:09:34,000 so we can use 1960 01:09:37,829 --> 01:09:35,679 that it's called microlensing we can use 1961 01:09:41,590 --> 01:09:37,839 that technique to discover planets and 1962 01:09:45,590 --> 01:09:41,600 and um maybe moons um 1963 01:09:49,749 --> 01:09:45,600 okay uh grant are there any um 1964 01:09:53,829 --> 01:09:49,759 questions from chat that we should 1965 01:09:57,270 --> 01:09:53,839 pick up absolutely chad has been 1966 01:09:58,709 --> 01:09:57,280 chad has been lively in a good way in a 1967 01:10:01,270 --> 01:09:58,719 good way yeah 1968 01:10:01,990 --> 01:10:01,280 so let's go ahead and get us started off 1969 01:10:04,070 --> 01:10:02,000 we've had a little 1970 01:10:05,270 --> 01:10:04,080 back and forth conversation um are you 1971 01:10:08,470 --> 01:10:05,280 familiar 1972 01:10:12,510 --> 01:10:08,480 uh dr raybury with um 1973 01:10:19,270 --> 01:10:12,520 the un was it un2 1974 01:10:22,630 --> 01:10:21,830 no okay all right no i'm sorry i'm i'm 1975 01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:22,640 no no no no no 1976 01:10:26,470 --> 01:10:25,120 by the way isa is fine um no need for 1977 01:10:29,590 --> 01:10:26,480 okay 1978 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:29,600 um i am not an expert on comets in the 1979 01:10:33,590 --> 01:10:30,560 solar system 1980 01:10:35,110 --> 01:10:33,600 at all um it was just a important part 1981 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:35,120 of my research and specifically when 1982 01:10:39,270 --> 01:10:37,199 putting together my thesis to 1983 01:10:40,470 --> 01:10:39,280 put it into context of what happens in 1984 01:10:43,350 --> 01:10:40,480 the solar system 1985 01:10:45,189 --> 01:10:43,360 so that's why i know something about 1986 01:10:48,070 --> 01:10:45,199 like carbonaceous countries and 1987 01:10:49,910 --> 01:10:48,080 and i know about 67p basically because i 1988 01:10:51,430 --> 01:10:49,920 was at isa when philae was landing and 1989 01:10:52,470 --> 01:10:51,440 there was a huge party and everybody was 1990 01:10:56,229 --> 01:10:52,480 super excited 1991 01:10:58,149 --> 01:10:56,239 but in no way i am an expert on comments 1992 01:11:00,149 --> 01:10:58,159 it's all good i figured i would ask just 1993 01:11:01,430 --> 01:11:00,159 because there was a discussion going on 1994 01:11:03,830 --> 01:11:01,440 but it's one of the hardest things to 1995 01:11:04,390 --> 01:11:03,840 explain about these talks is we all have 1996 01:11:06,310 --> 01:11:04,400 such 1997 01:11:07,669 --> 01:11:06,320 narrow fields of knowledge because 1998 01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:07,679 there's so much 1999 01:11:11,110 --> 01:11:09,520 of it and it intersects with so many 2000 01:11:14,070 --> 01:11:11,120 different disciplines 2001 01:11:14,550 --> 01:11:14,080 it's sometimes difficult to to get that 2002 01:11:17,590 --> 01:11:14,560 like 2003 01:11:19,510 --> 01:11:17,600 just because you were an expert on um 2004 01:11:21,030 --> 01:11:19,520 like exo comments or what have you 2005 01:11:24,790 --> 01:11:21,040 doesn't necessarily mean that 2006 01:11:27,910 --> 01:11:24,800 you'll be able to answer questions that 2007 01:11:31,830 --> 01:11:27,920 yeah so uh moving on to the next one 2008 01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:31,840 um i think this is a little bit 2009 01:11:35,110 --> 01:11:34,320 here we go how are the radial velocities 2010 01:11:37,189 --> 01:11:35,120 determined 2011 01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:37,199 is it doppler shift of the light or 2012 01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:40,400 using wobble or how is that determined 2013 01:11:47,270 --> 01:11:43,760 um okay so i assume it's asking about 2014 01:11:50,070 --> 01:11:47,280 the radial velocity of the comets um yes 2015 01:11:51,750 --> 01:11:50,080 okay so uh we always determine the 2016 01:11:53,189 --> 01:11:51,760 radial velocity of the comet space 2017 01:11:54,870 --> 01:11:53,199 the velocity of the comets based on the 2018 01:11:58,630 --> 01:11:54,880 radial velocity of the star 2019 01:12:01,590 --> 01:11:58,640 usually determined 2020 01:12:02,229 --> 01:12:01,600 by doppler shift of the of the spectral 2021 01:12:04,149 --> 01:12:02,239 features 2022 01:12:06,070 --> 01:12:04,159 we know the nominal value of the 2023 01:12:09,830 --> 01:12:06,080 wavelength of the features 2024 01:12:11,110 --> 01:12:09,840 so when we observe those values are not 2025 01:12:12,950 --> 01:12:11,120 usually the nominal ones they are 2026 01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:12,960 shifted uh depending 2027 01:12:16,390 --> 01:12:14,640 on the radial velocity of the star with 2028 01:12:19,110 --> 01:12:16,400 respect to earth 2029 01:12:21,030 --> 01:12:19,120 um which we also have to account for 2030 01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:21,040 corrections because earth is not always 2031 01:12:24,390 --> 01:12:22,320 in the same position 2032 01:12:25,910 --> 01:12:24,400 um so yeah we usually determine the 2033 01:12:28,229 --> 01:12:25,920 radial velocity of the star 2034 01:12:30,070 --> 01:12:28,239 and that's our zero and depending how 2035 01:12:33,110 --> 01:12:30,080 fast the comet is moving like towards 2036 01:12:36,950 --> 01:12:33,120 blue or red and then we 2037 01:12:40,070 --> 01:12:36,960 determine the velocity of the comets 2038 01:12:41,270 --> 01:12:40,080 okay thank you um brandon i'm gonna 2039 01:12:42,550 --> 01:12:41,280 search through i'm gonna turn it over 2040 01:12:43,750 --> 01:12:42,560 for you another one of your questions 2041 01:12:48,070 --> 01:12:43,760 that you have 2042 01:12:50,550 --> 01:12:48,080 sure sure so um isa i 2043 01:12:51,669 --> 01:12:50,560 i saw early on that you you so you did a 2044 01:12:55,189 --> 01:12:51,679 lot of work 2045 01:12:57,430 --> 01:12:55,199 amazing work going back decades to 2046 01:12:58,950 --> 01:12:57,440 actually find out that that that what 2047 01:13:01,750 --> 01:12:58,960 you were seeing were not comets but 2048 01:13:04,950 --> 01:13:01,760 actually the orientation of two stars 2049 01:13:06,950 --> 01:13:04,960 um and i'm just curious 2050 01:13:08,229 --> 01:13:06,960 maybe this is more of a a theory 2051 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:08,239 question but 2052 01:13:11,270 --> 01:13:09,600 you know when you have these multiple 2053 01:13:15,430 --> 01:13:11,280 star systems 2054 01:13:17,350 --> 01:13:15,440 um do we think we can still have 2055 01:13:18,950 --> 01:13:17,360 like a robust equivalent of a kuiper 2056 01:13:21,270 --> 01:13:18,960 belt or an oort cloud a commentary 2057 01:13:23,510 --> 01:13:21,280 system in those systems or are they 2058 01:13:25,590 --> 01:13:23,520 too disturbed and they get thrown out do 2059 01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:25,600 those exist 2060 01:13:30,149 --> 01:13:28,880 good question um i have no idea this is 2061 01:13:31,990 --> 01:13:30,159 something that we've been discussing 2062 01:13:34,550 --> 01:13:32,000 particularly with the system 2063 01:13:35,750 --> 01:13:34,560 because there are two big stars they're 2064 01:13:39,270 --> 01:13:35,760 bigger than the sun 2065 01:13:42,470 --> 01:13:39,280 um roughly eight type stars are like two 2066 01:13:44,149 --> 01:13:42,480 solar radii um because the radius of 2067 01:13:45,990 --> 01:13:44,159 of one of these stars is double the 2068 01:13:47,910 --> 01:13:46,000 rates of the sun and there are only two 2069 01:13:50,950 --> 01:13:47,920 astronomical units apart 2070 01:13:52,229 --> 01:13:50,960 um and we know both of them have uh 2071 01:13:55,669 --> 01:13:52,239 circumstellar material 2072 01:13:58,709 --> 01:13:55,679 very close to them so there 2073 01:14:00,470 --> 01:13:58,719 it must be interacting right 2074 01:14:01,750 --> 01:14:00,480 but it's something we have not been able 2075 01:14:04,550 --> 01:14:01,760 to prove yet 2076 01:14:06,390 --> 01:14:04,560 um we do have some smaller features that 2077 01:14:08,630 --> 01:14:06,400 i did not comment on 2078 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:08,640 um but in the paper they are mentioned 2079 01:14:12,630 --> 01:14:09,520 and we 2080 01:14:15,750 --> 01:14:12,640 think uh that is 2081 01:14:18,950 --> 01:14:15,760 somehow present in the interaction 2082 01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:18,960 of the stars or somehow um 2083 01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:20,880 appears from the interaction of the two 2084 01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:22,800 circumstantial mediums but we don't know 2085 01:14:26,550 --> 01:14:25,280 it's it's really hard to prove but it 2086 01:14:28,229 --> 01:14:26,560 would be 2087 01:14:30,950 --> 01:14:28,239 expected that there is some some 2088 01:14:34,950 --> 01:14:30,960 interaction in between them 2089 01:14:38,550 --> 01:14:34,960 great great grant did you have a 2090 01:14:39,590 --> 01:14:38,560 another question yet yeah i'm looking at 2091 01:14:42,870 --> 01:14:39,600 them right now 2092 01:14:44,550 --> 01:14:42,880 sure okay so 2093 01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:44,560 here's one and i agree with your 2094 01:14:47,990 --> 01:14:46,000 analysis of tests 2095 01:14:49,350 --> 01:14:48,000 i'm really excited about that mission 2096 01:14:52,790 --> 01:14:49,360 that was one of my favorite 2097 01:14:55,669 --> 01:14:52,800 talks that we had um but 2098 01:14:56,229 --> 01:14:55,679 how do we find the systems for us to 2099 01:14:58,790 --> 01:14:56,239 follow 2100 01:14:59,990 --> 01:14:58,800 up on them and test is one of the ways 2101 01:15:03,430 --> 01:15:00,000 that we do so but 2102 01:15:05,669 --> 01:15:03,440 how is it that you initially identify um 2103 01:15:06,550 --> 01:15:05,679 some sort of terrestrial body like this 2104 01:15:08,149 --> 01:15:06,560 and then 2105 01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:08,159 follow it up with a telescope or do you 2106 01:15:11,270 --> 01:15:09,760 start with a large like a larger 2107 01:15:13,030 --> 01:15:11,280 observatory 2108 01:15:15,189 --> 01:15:13,040 okay so this is a great question because 2109 01:15:16,790 --> 01:15:15,199 it's really really difficult to identify 2110 01:15:19,669 --> 01:15:16,800 targets 2111 01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:19,679 we don't know why there is no 2112 01:15:23,590 --> 01:15:21,760 explanation yet to this 2113 01:15:25,270 --> 01:15:23,600 why we find the exocomets around eight 2114 01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:25,280 type stars which are stars with a 2115 01:15:28,470 --> 01:15:26,960 particular temperature around 2116 01:15:30,790 --> 01:15:28,480 eight thousand nine thousand ten 2117 01:15:32,470 --> 01:15:30,800 thousand kelvin um 2118 01:15:34,070 --> 01:15:32,480 with this radius that is twice the 2119 01:15:35,669 --> 01:15:34,080 radius of the sun 2120 01:15:37,270 --> 01:15:35,679 we don't know why we find hexagons 2121 01:15:39,830 --> 01:15:37,280 around them but we kind of 2122 01:15:40,390 --> 01:15:39,840 know that we have to bias or search 2123 01:15:42,310 --> 01:15:40,400 towards 2124 01:15:43,910 --> 01:15:42,320 those stars because that's where we find 2125 01:15:46,310 --> 01:15:43,920 them um 2126 01:15:48,390 --> 01:15:46,320 even though uh we knew that we also 2127 01:15:51,350 --> 01:15:48,400 tried other spectral types like we had a 2128 01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:51,360 range between uh g-type stars which is 2129 01:15:55,189 --> 01:15:52,080 the sort of the 2130 01:15:59,030 --> 01:15:55,199 the spectral type of the sun to uh b 2131 01:16:02,470 --> 01:15:59,040 type stars so it's it goes o 2132 01:16:06,630 --> 01:16:02,480 o b a f k g 2133 01:16:08,390 --> 01:16:06,640 i think um so so we had a range 2134 01:16:09,830 --> 01:16:08,400 of spectral types and we tried to look 2135 01:16:11,910 --> 01:16:09,840 in them just for 2136 01:16:14,709 --> 01:16:11,920 statistics purpose to see if we found 2137 01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:14,719 any uh but we also buy a store sample 2138 01:16:18,630 --> 01:16:18,000 heavily on the fact that uh there was 2139 01:16:20,149 --> 01:16:18,640 already 2140 01:16:22,070 --> 01:16:20,159 circumstellar material around those 2141 01:16:24,790 --> 01:16:22,080 stars so we chose a lot 2142 01:16:25,830 --> 01:16:24,800 of disks of debris disks so it starts 2143 01:16:27,910 --> 01:16:25,840 with every disks 2144 01:16:29,430 --> 01:16:27,920 we chose a lot of stars where we knew 2145 01:16:32,550 --> 01:16:29,440 there were previous 2146 01:16:36,950 --> 01:16:32,560 detections of comets we chose stars 2147 01:16:39,110 --> 01:16:36,960 with anomalous abundances so for example 2148 01:16:41,270 --> 01:16:39,120 we do not expect the same amount of 2149 01:16:41,990 --> 01:16:41,280 metals in every star in the photosphere 2150 01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:42,000 of every star 2151 01:16:47,110 --> 01:16:44,800 but we do expect the same ratios so if 2152 01:16:48,709 --> 01:16:47,120 for some reason a star had a weird ratio 2153 01:16:50,630 --> 01:16:48,719 of material of metals 2154 01:16:52,229 --> 01:16:50,640 we would select that star to look for 2155 01:16:53,270 --> 01:16:52,239 exo-comets because we assume there is 2156 01:16:55,430 --> 01:16:53,280 something going on 2157 01:16:56,950 --> 01:16:55,440 in its circumstance medium and we also 2158 01:16:57,750 --> 01:16:56,960 chose stars that were really young for 2159 01:16:59,669 --> 01:16:57,760 example 2160 01:17:01,669 --> 01:16:59,679 because they are starting to settle so 2161 01:17:04,550 --> 01:17:01,679 they have a lot of dynamical activity 2162 01:17:05,830 --> 01:17:04,560 um so yeah the sample that i used for my 2163 01:17:08,390 --> 01:17:05,840 thesis and the sample that 2164 01:17:09,990 --> 01:17:08,400 is the samples that it's usually used by 2165 01:17:11,430 --> 01:17:10,000 people that study this type of phenomena 2166 01:17:14,390 --> 01:17:11,440 are really really biased 2167 01:17:15,430 --> 01:17:14,400 towards stars with lots of dust so very 2168 01:17:20,790 --> 01:17:15,440 bright discs 2169 01:17:24,709 --> 01:17:23,110 with that answers fascinating yeah that 2170 01:17:27,990 --> 01:17:24,719 was yeah 2171 01:17:30,870 --> 01:17:28,000 a plus question on that one so 2172 01:17:33,669 --> 01:17:30,880 just just you know for my thesis it was 2173 01:17:38,390 --> 01:17:33,679 a 117 stars that we studied 2174 01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:38,400 wow and we found comets in around uh 25. 2175 01:17:42,830 --> 01:17:41,440 so personal follow-up to that once you 2176 01:17:46,550 --> 01:17:42,840 have 2177 01:17:48,229 --> 01:17:46,560 more like um more access to it like with 2178 01:17:49,669 --> 01:17:48,239 further test messages or what have you 2179 01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:49,679 how is the 2180 01:17:54,310 --> 01:17:52,880 how are we expanding the results rather 2181 01:17:57,590 --> 01:17:54,320 than just 2182 01:17:58,310 --> 01:17:57,600 judging by more like arbitrary metrics 2183 01:18:01,430 --> 01:17:58,320 or 2184 01:18:03,590 --> 01:18:01,440 composition like is is there a better 2185 01:18:04,709 --> 01:18:03,600 method moving forward or is it just 2186 01:18:07,830 --> 01:18:04,719 distance and 2187 01:18:09,669 --> 01:18:07,840 proximity you mean in terms of where to 2188 01:18:12,870 --> 01:18:09,679 look for comments 2189 01:18:15,270 --> 01:18:12,880 yeah yeah so um 2190 01:18:16,470 --> 01:18:15,280 my thesis work was and and most of the 2191 01:18:18,310 --> 01:18:16,480 comments that i talked about 2192 01:18:20,149 --> 01:18:18,320 are found in spectroscopy and test is a 2193 01:18:21,030 --> 01:18:20,159 photometric mission so it does kind of 2194 01:18:24,229 --> 01:18:21,040 slightly different 2195 01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:24,239 thing um we can find 2196 01:18:27,669 --> 01:18:27,120 comets with photometry kepler has proven 2197 01:18:30,790 --> 01:18:27,679 that 2198 01:18:33,350 --> 01:18:30,800 exocomets 2199 01:18:34,390 --> 01:18:33,360 uh infotometry for beta peak uh which is 2200 01:18:37,590 --> 01:18:34,400 like our model 2201 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:37,600 uh star for this uh studies um 2202 01:18:41,510 --> 01:18:40,080 so it can be done it's just really 2203 01:18:44,550 --> 01:18:41,520 difficult because you need 2204 01:18:47,910 --> 01:18:44,560 a lot of data um and maybe you are 2205 01:18:49,750 --> 01:18:47,920 i think i don't want to say any 2206 01:18:51,590 --> 01:18:49,760 stupid thing but i think it was like a 2207 01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:51,600 hundred days of observations for the 2208 01:18:55,350 --> 01:18:54,560 victories and they found three comments 2209 01:18:59,350 --> 01:18:55,360 so it's 2210 01:19:00,950 --> 01:18:59,360 it's really um very time expensive 2211 01:19:02,790 --> 01:19:00,960 that's why for example test is a very 2212 01:19:04,630 --> 01:19:02,800 good option because it will be observing 2213 01:19:06,390 --> 01:19:04,640 the stars nonetheless because 2214 01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:06,400 it's it's a survey so it will observe a 2215 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:08,400 lot of them um 2216 01:19:12,070 --> 01:19:10,560 but yeah it's kind of at this point this 2217 01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:12,080 is still kind of random 2218 01:19:16,790 --> 01:19:14,560 we do not know where to point rewards 2219 01:19:20,790 --> 01:19:16,800 look 2220 01:19:23,030 --> 01:19:20,800 i love the the sheer two sides of 2221 01:19:26,070 --> 01:19:23,040 astronomy you have very 2222 01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:26,080 dedicated fantastic 2223 01:19:31,270 --> 01:19:29,040 instruments that are down to like the 2224 01:19:35,270 --> 01:19:31,280 photon and then it's like well 2225 01:19:36,390 --> 01:19:35,280 just point it that way like the the 2226 01:19:41,189 --> 01:19:36,400 conjunction of those two 2227 01:19:41,199 --> 01:19:45,030 it's so very human i love it 2228 01:19:49,590 --> 01:19:47,830 all right um let's see going down 2229 01:19:50,790 --> 01:19:49,600 through the chat here uh brandon feel 2230 01:19:53,590 --> 01:19:50,800 free to take another while i left 2231 01:19:55,110 --> 01:19:53,600 sure sure i'll take another uh question 2232 01:19:56,790 --> 01:19:55,120 here um 2233 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:56,800 uh so this is the first time i've 2234 01:20:01,270 --> 01:19:59,040 actually heard that the first exo comet 2235 01:20:03,270 --> 01:20:01,280 was basically detected in 1987. i mean 2236 01:20:04,149 --> 01:20:03,280 it was detected before 2237 01:20:06,790 --> 01:20:04,159 and i know you said there's some 2238 01:20:09,750 --> 01:20:06,800 controversy about claiming that or 2239 01:20:11,110 --> 01:20:09,760 or they they didn't necessarily call it 2240 01:20:13,270 --> 01:20:11,120 an exo comment i don't 2241 01:20:15,350 --> 01:20:13,280 use phrase that but the idea that we we 2242 01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:15,360 may have found x that there's data that 2243 01:20:19,270 --> 01:20:16,320 exists 2244 01:20:20,629 --> 01:20:19,280 with exocomets in them from 1987 is 2245 01:20:23,750 --> 01:20:20,639 fascinating to me 2246 01:20:27,189 --> 01:20:23,760 and um so my question is 2247 01:20:29,430 --> 01:20:27,199 how how much information now that 2248 01:20:31,750 --> 01:20:29,440 we kind of know better what to look for 2249 01:20:32,229 --> 01:20:31,760 do you think exists in archival data 2250 01:20:34,390 --> 01:20:32,239 across 2251 01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:34,400 our missions that are just sitting there 2252 01:20:38,870 --> 01:20:36,080 to be explored 2253 01:20:40,070 --> 01:20:38,880 i i cannot even start to think about it 2254 01:20:41,830 --> 01:20:40,080 it's something 2255 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:41,840 i would really love to do go through 2256 01:20:46,470 --> 01:20:43,280 spectroscopic data 2257 01:20:49,270 --> 01:20:46,480 now that we are getting so much better 2258 01:20:51,110 --> 01:20:49,280 at studying and analyzing large amounts 2259 01:20:51,830 --> 01:20:51,120 of data with machine learning or 2260 01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:51,840 whatever 2261 01:20:56,550 --> 01:20:54,400 new techniques we have if i would love 2262 01:20:57,110 --> 01:20:56,560 to just go through archives try collect 2263 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:57,120 all the high 2264 01:21:00,390 --> 01:20:59,440 resolution spectroscopic data do a 2265 01:21:03,510 --> 01:21:00,400 search 2266 01:21:05,189 --> 01:21:03,520 um it's really difficult for other 2267 01:21:07,030 --> 01:21:05,199 reasons like 2268 01:21:08,550 --> 01:21:07,040 the data is treated in different ways 2269 01:21:09,110 --> 01:21:08,560 and you should do an homogeneous 2270 01:21:11,270 --> 01:21:09,120 treatment 2271 01:21:13,110 --> 01:21:11,280 through all of them to to compare and 2272 01:21:14,310 --> 01:21:13,120 stuff like that 2273 01:21:18,070 --> 01:21:14,320 but it has been done for better 2274 01:21:20,229 --> 01:21:18,080 victories uh there was a paper in 2014 2275 01:21:22,390 --> 01:21:20,239 that was published in nature that is 2276 01:21:23,189 --> 01:21:22,400 studied thousands of exo comments around 2277 01:21:26,310 --> 01:21:23,199 beta peak 2278 01:21:27,189 --> 01:21:26,320 um i think there were two thousand or 2279 01:21:29,510 --> 01:21:27,199 maybe more 2280 01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:29,520 um and they actually found some very 2281 01:21:32,950 --> 01:21:31,040 interesting things because they had so 2282 01:21:35,270 --> 01:21:32,960 so many data from so so many years 2283 01:21:36,310 --> 01:21:35,280 um like there are like two families of 2284 01:21:38,229 --> 01:21:36,320 comets 2285 01:21:39,350 --> 01:21:38,239 um they are consistent with two 2286 01:21:42,229 --> 01:21:39,360 different locations 2287 01:21:43,830 --> 01:21:42,239 and they actually have kind of different 2288 01:21:45,750 --> 01:21:43,840 compositions 2289 01:21:46,870 --> 01:21:45,760 it's kind of bold to assume that and to 2290 01:21:49,590 --> 01:21:46,880 say that but 2291 01:21:51,430 --> 01:21:49,600 they they do we do see that they have 2292 01:21:52,149 --> 01:21:51,440 different amounts of calcium and sodium 2293 01:21:54,870 --> 01:21:52,159 in them 2294 01:21:55,750 --> 01:21:54,880 so so there's two families of exocomets 2295 01:21:57,750 --> 01:21:55,760 in beta peak and 2296 01:21:59,510 --> 01:21:57,760 the only reason we know that is because 2297 01:22:00,790 --> 01:21:59,520 we reached the point where we had 30 2298 01:22:03,830 --> 01:22:00,800 years of data 2299 01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:03,840 wow wow 2300 01:22:09,510 --> 01:22:07,760 yeah it reminds me of of some of those 2301 01:22:10,870 --> 01:22:09,520 results that we've had in the last 10 2302 01:22:13,189 --> 01:22:10,880 years where 2303 01:22:13,910 --> 01:22:13,199 um people have discovered you know 2304 01:22:17,510 --> 01:22:13,920 planets 2305 01:22:19,590 --> 01:22:17,520 example that are on the archive that 2306 01:22:20,709 --> 01:22:19,600 you know as as he says you were saying 2307 01:22:22,310 --> 01:22:20,719 as our machine learning and our 2308 01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:22,320 techniques improve 2309 01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:24,480 the data is there to do a reanalysis and 2310 01:22:26,870 --> 01:22:25,760 you find things that you didn't see 2311 01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:26,880 before 2312 01:22:34,950 --> 01:22:33,270 oh and you're muted there you go very 2313 01:22:37,189 --> 01:22:34,960 much so yeah 2314 01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:37,199 so i'll get us our last question here we 2315 01:22:39,990 --> 01:22:38,880 have time for probably about one more 2316 01:22:43,510 --> 01:22:40,000 and we'll call it 2317 01:22:45,430 --> 01:22:43,520 um observations by alma 2318 01:22:48,310 --> 01:22:45,440 have they provided any data of 2319 01:22:51,669 --> 01:22:51,110 all right so comets is that or exocomets 2320 01:22:55,270 --> 01:22:51,679 i'm sorry 2321 01:22:57,189 --> 01:22:55,280 yeah um okay so uh to look for extra 2322 01:22:59,189 --> 01:22:57,199 comments what we do is like examine 2323 01:23:00,629 --> 01:22:59,199 uh time series of data so we compare 2324 01:23:02,390 --> 01:23:00,639 like we take 2325 01:23:04,229 --> 01:23:02,400 one spectra one fourth metric point now 2326 01:23:05,590 --> 01:23:04,239 and then another one in 15 minutes or 2327 01:23:08,709 --> 01:23:05,600 whatever we compare 2328 01:23:09,430 --> 01:23:08,719 um that it's really expensive to do with 2329 01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:09,440 alma 2330 01:23:14,709 --> 01:23:12,800 time to detect gas 2331 01:23:16,629 --> 01:23:14,719 it's a completely different wavelength 2332 01:23:19,990 --> 01:23:16,639 it's a completely different instrument 2333 01:23:23,030 --> 01:23:20,000 um but what we do see from alma data 2334 01:23:24,870 --> 01:23:23,040 it's the outcome of the exocomets we see 2335 01:23:27,350 --> 01:23:24,880 the gas that they have released 2336 01:23:28,550 --> 01:23:27,360 in the medium that it's revolving around 2337 01:23:29,590 --> 01:23:28,560 the stack that was released by 2338 01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:29,600 collisions 2339 01:23:33,030 --> 01:23:32,480 or by evaporating comets or whatever and 2340 01:23:35,189 --> 01:23:33,040 and 2341 01:23:37,110 --> 01:23:35,199 that's what alma is capable to to give 2342 01:23:37,990 --> 01:23:37,120 to us and it's also very important the 2343 01:23:40,149 --> 01:23:38,000 fact that it's 2344 01:23:41,030 --> 01:23:40,159 volatile materials so it's materials 2345 01:23:43,830 --> 01:23:41,040 that evaporate 2346 01:23:44,470 --> 01:23:43,840 at very low temperatures unlike calcium 2347 01:23:47,350 --> 01:23:44,480 calcium is 2348 01:23:48,070 --> 01:23:47,360 metal right um it's a refractorial a 2349 01:23:50,229 --> 01:23:48,080 metallic 2350 01:23:52,229 --> 01:23:50,239 we call a metal in in astrophysics it's 2351 01:23:55,110 --> 01:23:52,239 a refractory material it needs 2352 01:23:56,070 --> 01:23:55,120 thousands of kelvin of temperature to 2353 01:23:57,430 --> 01:23:56,080 evaporate 2354 01:23:59,910 --> 01:23:57,440 so it has to be really really close to 2355 01:24:02,950 --> 01:23:59,920 the star but in contrast to that 2356 01:24:03,750 --> 01:24:02,960 the volatiles are very easily evaporated 2357 01:24:07,189 --> 01:24:03,760 so they're found 2358 01:24:10,229 --> 01:24:07,199 at long distances from the start and 2359 01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:10,239 they are not only easy to find far away 2360 01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:10,480 and 2361 01:24:18,149 --> 01:24:14,320 very very important 2362 01:24:25,030 --> 01:24:21,990 okay all right so awesome 2363 01:24:26,149 --> 01:24:25,040 thank you very much both of you brandon 2364 01:24:29,750 --> 01:24:26,159 for 2365 01:24:30,149 --> 01:24:29,760 filling in and being our our lovely host 2366 01:24:31,750 --> 01:24:30,159 and 2367 01:24:34,629 --> 01:24:31,760 i hope you're getting a lot of rest 2368 01:24:38,790 --> 01:24:37,590 and um isabel thank you so much for uh 2369 01:24:42,629 --> 01:24:38,800 for coming and talking 2370 01:24:45,910 --> 01:24:42,639 and i'll let you finish this up yeah 2371 01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:45,920 yeah i'm very happy and um so again 2372 01:24:51,750 --> 01:24:49,360 just a reminder that um we have 2373 01:24:53,669 --> 01:24:51,760 we have uh what was it i have to look at 2374 01:24:57,030 --> 01:24:53,679 my presentation again 2375 01:25:00,070 --> 01:24:57,040 um to see what the next dates are 2376 01:25:02,470 --> 01:25:00,080 i'll just remind you all real quick so 2377 01:25:03,189 --> 01:25:02,480 uh september 7th we have astrology 2378 01:25:04,870 --> 01:25:03,199 versus uh 2379 01:25:06,390 --> 01:25:04,880 versus astronomy what's the difference 2380 01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:06,400 really um 2381 01:25:10,070 --> 01:25:09,360 and so please join us for that and um 2382 01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:10,080 frank 2383 01:25:13,910 --> 01:25:12,400 should should be back but if he's not 2384 01:25:14,709 --> 01:25:13,920 then there's an issue but i'm happy to 2385 01:25:17,910 --> 01:25:14,719 fill in 2386 01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:17,920 um and uh in october how dark is space 2387 01:25:21,990 --> 01:25:21,120 uh and so yeah we have a couple of a 2388 01:25:23,990 --> 01:25:22,000 really great 2389 01:25:25,510 --> 01:25:24,000 public lecture series coming up and 2390 01:25:28,070 --> 01:25:25,520 thank you all for joining us 2391 01:25:29,030 --> 01:25:28,080 and thank you isa yeah thank you very
