@Shalmalee_Kapse Snehalata Sahu had a poster on the UVIT legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters (GlobULeS), and one showing the comparison between far UV and optical CMDs. Susmitha Rani Anthony presented a work on the study of the abundance of sulfur in the halo and in GCs. #MODEST20
Gaurav Singh presented his results on the distribution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in the globular cluster NGC 6656. He finds that the minimum of the BSSs bimodal distribution is not where expected based on the relaxation condition of the cluster. #dinamicalclock #MODEST20
Alexey Bobrick told us about white dwarf - neutron star binaries in globular clusters (GCs) and warned us about three points: 1) theory needs to be calibrated through a comparison to what happens in the field; 2) assumptions should be tested; 3) binaries influence GCs. #MODEST20
We were given a tour of the art collection @TIFRScience: truly amazing pieces there! Here you see some of my favourites #MODEST20
Pierfrancesco Di Cintio explained us how dynamical friction and diffusion shape the bimodality in the distribution of blue straggler stars observed in globular clusters. He pointed out that diffusion is a particularly important ingredient! #dynamicalclock #MODEST20
I was up first today, and I spoke about internal rotation of globular clusters and how I am planning to characterize it by means of the family of rotating dynamical models that I am developing with @parallasseh #MODEST20
We also had a public lecture by Simon Portegies Zwart, who walked us through the troubled past of our Solar System! (the lecture will also be available on YouTube!) #MODEST20
Achamavedu Gopakumar talked about how the study of compact binaries in star clusters will benefit from multiwavelength astronomy. @LIGO and @LISACommunity will see many black hole - black hole binary systems! #MODEST20
Third day of #MODEST20 in sunny Mumbai! Did I mention that the beautiful garden of @TIFRScience ends at the sea?
I caught up with Prof. Simon Portegies Zwart @StrwLeiden who is visiting @TIFRScience for the #MODEST20 astronomy conference. He's giving a public lecture tomorrow 5th Feb 5PM on "The Traumatic Evolution of the Solar System". I asked why it was traumatic! https://t.co/CSVNKLcH5o
Finally, we had Prasanta Kumar Nayak talking about UVIT observations of Kron 3. He sees that red hook stars are extended over 2 magnitudes in the UV-optical CMD: an age spread cannot explain this feature, and he thinks that this is due to a spread in metallicity. #MODEST20
