    Once again, great video. I learn something new every time. Of course Dr. Gray's eloquence just takes it one step further as well. Would love to sit down over a cup of coffee and listen to her speak about almost anything.

  • @SharpAssKnittingNeedles

    Damn dr gray is my pick for faculty of the year! When brady is asking her questions it's so obvious she's actually listening and thinking about it! Had many professors who wouldn't even come close to being that compliant

    Dr. Gray, I like that you were able to take a technical paper and explain it in plain English. Now I can go to it and perhaps decipher some of it.

    Dr. Grey did a great job as always to help make an interesting video, especially on a 'less than extraordinary object". Love this channel! *Edit* I better not find a dislike on this video!

    Dr. Gray you are the best. I love how you explain a probably dense paper succinctly, but in such a way that it still stirs the imagination. My regards to Brady for putting together such an inspiring body of work as well.

  • @pipertripp
    @pipertripp Před 8 lety

    This was a really good one. You can always find something that's interesting if you do some looking and Meghan didn't disappoint with this one. These star population studies are so cool. We can learn a lot from these seemingly dull open clusters.

    I clicked on this because I thought it was MC50, the band with Wayne Kramer that is marking 50 years since the MC5's first album, "Kick Out The Jams." But that's okay because I like this stuff, too.

  • @acaryadasa
    @acaryadasa Před 8 lety

    I was really hoping that there was going to be some discussion about why in some of the clusters there appears to be a clustering of the rotational speeds along two fairly obvious lines, irrespective of solar mass. I can't even imagine what could be causing that, but I would have loved to hear some speculation about it. It is most obvious in the h Per, Pleiades, less obvious in the M50, and M35 clusters.

  • @FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog

    Fascinating topic, yet again :).
    Wouldn't planets orbiting the star cause it's rotation period to slow down too similar to how the Moon slows down Earth's rotation speed?

  • @veggiet2009
    @veggiet2009 Před 8 lety

    And I would assume that the more factors we have to gauge an age of a star would let us pinpoint more accurately what we believe that age to be, and if there are an outliers like say an extremely red star that appears redshifted but is actually younger and closer to us, having more factors that can tell us this is actually young can let us look at the factors which disagree and ask "why," why do these apparent discontinuities exist, is there a different reason why it's red or is there a different reason why it spins like a young star.

  • @soren81
    @soren81 Před 8 lety +4

    How do we know the difference between rotating stars with star-spots and exoplanet transitions? It seems to me, that these two observations must be pretty similar. The period of a star rotation and the orbital period of a planet can also be fairly similar, right?

    • @jackwhite3820
      @jackwhite3820 Před 8 lety +5

      My guess would be, that the star-spots will form a brightness profile like ridges on a key, and that pattern will repeat itself with every rotation. With an exoplanet you get only a single dip in the brightness profile, and it will move relative to the ridges in the profile caused by star-spots.

    • @pyrodoll2422
      @pyrodoll2422 Před 5 lety

      And the star spots will come and go over a short period.

  • @robbielosee
    @robbielosee Před 8 lety

    I'm curious about how some of the charts seem to have a high band and a low band with a less populated gap in between. Is this some intermediate speed that for some reason the stars are less likely to spend much time spinning at?

  • @sataniclegion
    @sataniclegion Před 8 lety +1

    I always love these videos. Just have a question because I am curious. What would happen, theoretically, if there was a quasar and a black hole, both of similar size relative to one another, on a collision course?

  • @oliviercloutier1975
    @oliviercloutier1975 Před 8 lety

    This looks to my like an interpretation of an HR diagram, which is also used to measure the age of a star cluster. Which of the two methods seems to be the most accurate?

  • @thijsjong

  • @TiagoTiagoT

  • @harmenopoulos

    at the far right the M50 curve goes down a bit..
    faster rotation by very high mass?

  • @alanmarston8612
    @alanmarston8612 Před 8 lety

    Dr. Gray, are any of these star clusters being grabbed up by say other groups of star systems, or is it just that the timing of the process is longer than we can observe now?

  • @OtherTheDave
    @OtherTheDave Před 8 lety

    Around the 0:25 mark (and again around 7:08 or so), I see two "loops" coming out of the left & right sides of cluster, which are dimmer than the rest of the image's background. At its extremes, the left loop nearly reaches the sides of the frame, and the right one does go out of frame.
    Are these apparent "dark loops" just a trick of the camera, or do the images really show "structured" dust-heavy/star-poor regions? If so, where does their shape come from?

  • @dirfgiS
    @dirfgiS Před 8 lety +1

    In a star cluster, are stars close to each other? Is it comparable to our own solar system where the planets are relatively close to the sun? Also, not all stars are part of a star cluster, right?

    • @HRW653
      @HRW653 Před 8 lety +3

      Close is a relative term, they are still pretty far from each other. But from where we are standing they are a cluster. A star is pretty massive and needs it own personal space, can't be too close to another star or bad things happen. There are not alot of lonely stars that I know of, but given enough time and chance I'm sure there are some. They form from giant clouds so they rarely come into existence own their own.

    • @thulyblu5486
      @thulyblu5486 Před 8 lety +7

      Our sun is not in a cluster, but is currently on the edge of the Ursa Major Moving Group (which contains most of the stars from the big dipper).
      The stars in the clusters are relatively close together, but it's not comparable to planets. The average distance in a globular cluster is about 1 light year (our sun's closest neighbor is 4.2 ly away). Compare that to the distance of the most distant planet from the sun, Neptune, it's 0.000475 ly (or 30 AU... the earth is at 1 AU)

    • @Blackadder1620

      Lots of stars are binary, the most stars the less stable orbits so, they don't last long.

  • @thulyblu5486
    @thulyblu5486 Před 8 lety +3

    So our earth is rotating on its axis, our sun is rotating on its axis, star clusters are rotating, galaxies are rotating... is the observable universe as a whole rotating?

    • @HRW653
      @HRW653 Před 8 lety

      The cluster itself is not rotating, they measured the induvidual rotation of the cluster members. But yeah, rotation is a perfect mechanism to keep moving while standing still :D

    • @thulyblu5486
      @thulyblu5486 Před 8 lety

      Lau
      It's not rotating? I'd have at least expected it to be rotating like the moon, once rotating around its axis for every orbit around the milky way.

    • @HRW653
      @HRW653 Před 8 lety +2

      Orbit around a galaxy takes millions if not billions of years, they are not relevant or meaningfull in this research

    • @thulyblu5486
      @thulyblu5486 Před 8 lety +3

      Lau
      Well OK, but do you actually know whether they are rotating?
      I'm thinking that globular clusters for example must be rotating just in order to hold their shape. The stars must be rotating around the common center of mass in order not to fall into it slowly. They are gravitationally bound after all.

    • @HRW653
      @HRW653 Před 8 lety +2

      You're absolutely right, all those masses interact in some way depending on size, distance and relative speed.
