Burst 11- DASCH Photometry with Dr. Josh Grindlay

22 min • 6 februari 2016

Released: 6 February 2016

Duration: 22 minutes, 18 seconds

An edited interview with Dr. Josh Grindlay concerning the use of measurements of star brightness from the Digital Access to a Sky Century @HArvard to measure the dimming (or not) of Tabby's Star over a Century. Grandly critiques Hippke's paper that found dimming in several stars in the DASCH data, and also Schaefer's claim that Tabby's Star (KIC 8462852) is slowly dimming.
