Hi all, Thanks for inviting me to give a talk in your meet-up, and also thanks to Vivek for a summary of an astrophysics talk! However, I would like to clarify a few issues (kept with "?") with Vivek's summary:
> 1) They are also known neutron stars - about 10 times heavier than the sun > - very dense and regular gravitational physics cannot be used to explain > their gravitational behavior? (not clear how they are different from > black holes) > Neutron stars are not 10 times heavier than the sun. They are 1 to 2 times of the solar mass. They are formed when stars 10 times or more die (a significant amount of mass is lost during the death or the supernova explosion). > > 2) Python3 script to read this data and plot the positions on the globe - > 3d earth image projects on to a 2d oval shaped earth on the screen. > Used galpy for plotting(matplotlib?) > Yes, galpy did all the calculations but the plotting window was called by matplotlib. > 3) Project SKA - Square Kilometer Array. Huge sets of telescopes etc in > Australia and South Africa are used to capture data. Entire world is > involved in this project. A lot of programming is required for this. Those > interested can contact her > Not me, I am basically a theoretician. Interested people might think to contact relevant persons in NCRA. > > 4) Link to the National Center for Radio Astrophysics (also contains links > to the SKA Indian team???): > Yes, but the team involves theoreticians also. Thanks and regards, Manjari
