Paul Duffell

Dr. Ranadeep Dastidar -- Astrophysics at the Speed of Light

June 30, 2026 11:00pm 1:06

The Theory of Relativity was discovered by Einstein over a century ago, and it tells us how time and space are distorted when moving close to the speed of light. We mere earthlings don't get the opportunity to move that...

Dr. Abigail Polin -- Astrophysics Q & A #3

May 31, 2026 11:20pm 1:17

Abigail Polin is back, and we are doing another astrophysics Q&A! This time, our questions come from a class of third graders in Indiana. You'll be surprised at how some of the simplest questions can lead us down a ver...

Dr. Jeff Gerber -- Let's Talk Stars

April 30, 2026 11:16pm 1:05

This episode we get back to the objects that inspired the whole field of astrophysics -- stars. Those little points of light that first inspired us as children are incredible physics laboratories that we can still use t...

Dr. Charles Law -- All the Molecules in Protoplanetary Disks

March 31, 2026 11:00pm 50 min

Just how much do we know about how the planets formed? How much of this can we learn from getting images of young solar systems? Why does it help to look at the disk using radio waves instead of optical wavelengths? D...

Dr. Daniel Polin -- The Biggest Digital Camera in the World

February 28, 2026 11:00pm 1:14

The Vera Rubin Observatory has just started taking its first data this month. We have a special guest (Dr. Daniel Polin) who helped in the construction of the camera for Rubin. This digital camera was a major feat due ...

Dr. Gurtina Besla -- Dark Matter in the Milky Way

January 31, 2026 11:00pm 1:01

Most of the mass in the universe is invisible. We call it "Dark Matter", and the only reason we know it's there is because we can see how it gravitationally interacts with regular matter. For example, in our own galaxy, ...

Dr. Abigail Polin -- Astrophysics Q & A #2

December 31, 2025 11:00pm 1:23

What's the deal with black holes?

Dr. Kaitlin Kratter -- Building a Solar System on the Computer

November 30, 2025 11:00pm 1:15

How did our solar system form? More generally, how does any solar system form? We get some of our answers to these questions by looking at newly-forming planetary systems in the first million years of their lives. But...

Dr. Tim Cunningham -- White Dwarfs Sometimes Eat Planets

October 31, 2025 11:00pm 1:15

A white dwarf star is the compact, dense remnant of a once-thriving solar system. Long after the original star has died and turned into a white dwarf, it can still interact with its solar system. We can even see white ...

Dr. Merel van 't Hoff -- The Birth of the Planets

September 30, 2025 11:00pm 58 min

How did the planets form? What was going on in the first few brief million years of our solar system? And how did it impact what we see in our solar system today? Dr. Merel van 't Hoff takes us on a journey through as...

Dr. Wen-Fai Fong -- The Neutron Star Mash

August 31, 2025 11:00pm 43 min

What kinds of things do neutron stars do? They can smash into each other, producing bright flashes of radiation and strong ripples in spacetime that can be detected across the universe! Or, a neutron star can just be s...

Dr. Daniel D'Orazio -- The Black Hole Shuffle

July 31, 2025 11:02pm 1:03

Just how big can black holes get? Well, they can get super-massive! That is, millions to billions of times as massive as the sun. How do we know this? We've detected these supermassive black holes at the centers of g...

Dr. Abigail Polin -- Astrophysics Q & A

June 30, 2025 11:00pm 1:25

In this week's episode, Dr. Abigail Polin joins us to answer your questions from the internet, on a variety of topics tangentially related to astrophysics! Questions range from the basic and fundamental to the obscure a...

Dr. Andrea Derdzinski -- How do we see black holes?

May 31, 2025 11:00pm 55 min

A black hole is so dense, its gravitational field prevents anything from escaping, including light. You would think that would make them the "blackest" things in the universe; how in the world do we know they are there?...

Dr. Jared Goldberg -- Does Betelgeuse have a Betelbuddy?

April 30, 2025 11:00pm 1:04

Up in Orion's shoulder sits Betelgeuse, a supergiant star near the end of its life. The surface of Betelgeuse has been roiling and pulsing for centuries, as long as humans have recorded its modulated luminosity. Dr. Jare...

Dr. Yvette Cendes -- Black Holes on the Radio

March 31, 2025 11:01pm 53 min

What happens when a black hole eats up a star? Apparently a lot of things happen, and if you wait around awhile and look in the radio, even more things happen! Dr. Yvette Cendes tells us what it's like to be a radio as...

Dr. Maxim Lyutikov -- How do you make a Fast Radio Burst?

February 28, 2025 11:00pm 1:07

Some things happen out in the universe that are too powerful to make in a lab. Other phenomena are so coherent and well-ordered, we can't figure out how they can be made without a lab! Fast radio bursts are an incompre...

Dr. Lindsey Kwok -- The Forensic Science of Supernovae

January 31, 2025 11:00pm 55 min

How do we know so much about supernovae, when all we see is this little point of light getting brighter and then dimmer over time? Given this minimal data, we can often say what type of star exploded, and even some detai...

Dr. Paul Duffell -- The Universe on a Computer (with host Dr. Abigail Polin)

December 31, 2024 11:01pm 1:10

How big a computer do you need to simulate a supernova? Or a planet being formed? Or a black hole swallowing gas? Many astrophysicists spend their time developing computational models to simulate these systems and lea...

Dr. Brenna Mockler -- When Black Holes Get Hungry

November 30, 2024 11:00pm 1:00

What do black holes like to eat? Sometimes a steady diet of interstellar gas just isn't enough and a black hole needs to snack on a whole star. No judgment, we all get that way sometimes. But it can lead to some extre...
