The music of the stars, with the "founding mother" of asteroseismology
from Late Night Live - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Conny Aerts had a hunch, that stars had internal rotation and measuring those rotations could give us rich information about the universe. She was right, and became the "founding mother" of the new field of asteroseismology. And because the vibrations of the stars are waves, they can be rendered as music: what does a red giant star sound like, anyway?Guest: Professor Conny Aerts, Institute of Astronomy at the University of LeuvenProducer: Alex Tighe
