2022 Beatrice Hill Tinsley Lecture (RASNZ) at Hawke's Bay: A deadly dance: When black holes and neutron stars collide.
The venue, EIT Lecture Theatre, has a limit of 70 attendees under the red traffic light, Vaccine Pass and masks are required for attending the lecture.
What happens when the densest objects in the universe collide at half the speed of light? It starts with a stretch of a wobble in the fabric of spacetime, and sometime sends in cosmic explosions that create some of the rarest and shiniest elements in the Universe. Together we’ll learn how some of the most massive stars in the cosmos live and die with bang, to create the black hole and neutron star mergers we can “hear” colliding a hundred million light years away. This 45-minute “lecture” will combine cutting edge science and wacky humour to make the mysteries of merging black holes and neutron stars accessible to all ages and backgrounds.
