Wild Stars

In Part I we presented 2 interviews from Mike Simonsen of Simostronomy (and the AAVSO) from a conference he attended recently, Wild Stars in the Old West II . Mike has blogged extensively about this.

In this episode we present 3 new interviews with professional astronomers about cataclysmic variable stars. Christopher Tout, Paula Szkody and Boris Gaensicke discuss their work and ideas from the conference. It can be heavy stuff at times but gives a fascinating insight into the world of stellar astrophysics.

Many thanks to Mike Simonsen for bringing us these interviews! He is a fun guy to talk to. We’ll be hearing more from Mike!
