In today's episode of The Skyentists, astronomers Kirsten Banks and Ángel López-Sánchez talk about exotic stellar objects: white dwarf stars, neutron stars, pulsars, magnetars, and stellar black holes! They summarise what are the nature and origin of each of these exotic little beasts as well as discuss their differences. For "Space News", Kirsten announces that she is now the official "Tiktoker" of SpaceAustralia.com and that she's having a lot of fun with it. Ángel talks about the 3rd Data Release of the "SAMI Galaxy Survey" (he is part of the team), that includes the dissection of more than 3000 galaxies obtained using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Ángel also discusses the discovery of the most distant quasar known so far, J0313-1806, which is observed when the Universe was only 690 million years old! The Skyentists bring the bright, famous, red giant star Aldebaran ("the Eye of the Bull") for "What's Up!" Keep sending your questions and feedback, we are expecting to record another episode very soon!
