Nordhaus presents on star deaths
Jason Nordhaus, associate professor of physics, gave an invited talk on how the death of a star affects the evolution of planetary systems at the European Astronomical Society meeting July 13 in Krakow, Poland. Nordhaus’ research focuses on the physics of planetary destruction and how such events imprint signatures on the white dwarf, neutron star, and black hole remnants produced during stellar death.
