Astrophysics Sessions with Steve Shore

Agenda 2025-2026

• 2025 September 12th Young stellar objects
  Herbig Ae, T Tau, FU Ori (and FUOrs), Herbig-Haro objects
  
• 2025 October 10th Be stars
  and the combined effects of rotation, decretion (disks), and outflows (winds), interpretation of spectra of composite systems; why this is different than cataclysmics; binary stars among the Be stars
  
• 2025 November Pulsation
  mechanisms and observations (photometric and spectroscopic), including irregular variables; radial and nonradial oscillations; periodic oscillations and music (I hope you like this one)
  
• 2025 December Advanced stages of ordinary stellar evolution
  red giants and supergiants, AGB stars; Mira, RV Tau and semi-regular variables
• 2026 January: The Light as electromagnetic wave
• 2026 February: Reading a spectrum

Agenda 2024-2025

• 2024 September: Novae at multiwavelengths
• 2024 October: Accretion processes onto white dwarfs
• 2024 November; Planetary Nebulae
• 2024 December: H II regions and massive stars
• 2025 January: LBV and the path to Supernovae
• 2025 February: Supernovae
• 2025 April: Mergers, tidal disruption events, red novae – transients and follow-up (especially important for amateur observations)
• 2025 March: T CrB and the Symbiotic Recurent Novae, RS Oph, V745 Sco, V407 Cyg …
