Location: Exact address given in confirmation email ? Lecture: "Neutron Stars: The Densest Matter in the Universe" ? Speaker: PhD Student, Sanika Khadkikar What is the densest material you know? Is it something found here on Earth, on other planets, or in the Sun? From the ashes of dying stars, we find the densest material anywhere in the universe, locked inside extraordinary objects called neutron stars. When a massive star dies and forms a neutron star, its death can outshine entire galaxies for a brief, dazzling moment. Yet the explosion is only the beginning of the story. We often say “we are all stardust,” but that’s only half true: roughly half of the elements heavier than iron are really “neutron star poop,” forged in the titanic collisions of these dense stellar remnants. Join us to uncover how neutron stars create elements like gold, platinum, and uranium that shape our world, and what these exotic objects reveal about the most extreme physics in the cosmos. Sanika S. Khadkikar is a 4th-year PhD student at The Pennsylvania State University. She uses gravitational-wave, X-ray, and gamma-ray observations to understand what neutron stars are made of, how they collapse into black holes, and how their mergers produce heavy elements across the universe.
