Aaron Stemo, A PHD candidate at the university of Colorado Boulder
Today I spoke with Aaron Stemo, a PHD candidate studying AGN galaxy mergers. This is when two galaxies collide where one or more of them have a very bright galactic centre.
In this episode we talked about how Aaron became involved with his current research and what AGN galaxies are. It was also very interesting about how he used computational techniques to cut down a database of 500,000 galaxies into just the 200 that met the criteria he was looking for.
