Dr Kathy Romer, Professor at the university of Sussex
Hi everyone, today I am joined by Dr Kathy Romer, an astrophysicist at the University of Sussex. Dr Romer has been an astrophysicist for a very long time, having worked at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester and many others. She spoke about her interest in x-rays emitted from galaxy clusters.
Dr Romer shared some of her most exciting and coolest experiences as an astrophysicist, including a trip to the south pole! She also mentioned how in the past astronomers would have to travel to the obersevations sites in places like Chile to take the images, rather than having it all automated from your office. Dr Romer spoke about the recent James Webb space telescope images, and her reaction and thoughts to seeing the amazing pictures.
