Meet the AAS 248 Plenary Speakers: Ian Roederer
Where do the elements on the periodic table come from? Tune into Dr. Ian Roederer’s Plenary Lecture at #AAS248 to find out!
Guest: If you give a galaxy a starburst, it’ll probably quench the gas away
The distribution of post-starburst regions within galaxies is linked to diverse quenching pathways that are likely driven by mergers. Guest author, Emmy Wisz, explains how different star formation histories could be the key to understanding quenching mechanisms.

[Guest] The Walking Red: Why are you so quiet and overdense?
Why do we see so many massive, dead galaxies at early cosmic times? Guest author Tatevik Mkrtchyan illuminates a slice of the cosmic graveyard!
Is that a galaxy-like star cluster? Or a cluster-like dwarf galaxy?
Compact ultra-faint systems? More like confusing ultra-faint systems!
SED Fitting: How Astronomers Understand Galaxies Across Time
When studying distant galaxies, SED fitting is one tool to rule them all. But how can we learn the detailed history of entire galaxies from just a few snapshots?
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Adam Burgasser
Today we interview Dr. Adam Burgasser, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), and a plenary speaker at #AAS247
