Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Anthony Brown
For the past decade, ESA’s Gaia mission has helped reshape astronomy in more ways than you can probably think of. You can hear more about Gaia in Prof. Anthony Brown’s plenary talk at #AAS241!

A dormant stellar mass black hole has been found, practically in our own backyard!
A remote object on the edge of our solar system made a star “disappear”! But while it obscured the star, it was also revealing information about itself!
So far, astronomers have no confirmed detections of planets outside our Galaxy. Today’s paper searches for planets of extragalactic origin, from a dwarf galaxy that has since merged into the Milky Way halo.
Today’s paper posits that precise observations of wide binaries can be used, in conjunction with simulations, to test the validity of modified gravity theories!
Dust mapping with Gaia has changed our perspective on the sun’s neighborhood, but how do revelations about the nearby structure of dust fit in with our understanding of the Milky Way’s large scale skeletal structure?
