The July meeting will be held in the Student Union building at Cochise College, Sierra Vista on July 13, 2018 at 7 PM.
Our speaker will be Dr. Kaitlin Kratter, Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona.
Dr. Kratter’s research focuses on the formation and evolution of stellar and planetary systems. Kratter employs analytic and computational techniques to tackle topics including accretion disk dynamics, binary formation, few body dynamics, and planet-disk interactions. Her current work is focused on the intersection of binary and planet formation, especially in circumbinary systems. She is also collaborating closely with observers to discover extreme mass ratio binaries, and very young multiple star systems.
