Brighton Astro – Brown Dwarfs: Linking Stars and Planets
June 6 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
- DOORS: 7.00pm
- LECTURE: 7.30pm
Speaker: Dr Sonali Shukla
Stars and planets are distinct astronomical objects yet their formation processes are intertwined. Brown dwarfs straddle both categories, exhibiting characteristics of both stars and planets but not quite fitting into either category. This talk will explore the history, discovery and latest results from the study of brown dwarfs, drawing parallels with low-mass dwarf stars and giant planets. Studying brown dwarfs enhances our understanding of concurrent star and planet formation, shedding light on the origin of the solar system and beyond.
