Dr Or Graur talking about Supernovae and the science of exploding stars, on the Universe Stage, at New Scientist Live 2022
Dr Graur studies supernovae - the explosions of stars - as well as other transient astrophysical phenomena. He uses observations (images and spectra) obtained with ground- and space-based observatories and large-scale spectroscopic surveys (such as SDSS and DESI). He is specifically interested in uncovering the nature of the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae, studying these supernovae when they are several years old, and conducting population studies of supernovae in general. He is also working on discovering and characterizing tidal disruption events - flares caused by stars that are ripped apart by super-massive black holes - and the galaxies in which they occur.
