Yesterday we talked about triples.
It is an interesting thing that as we seem to not find any binaries in clusters, we do find triples... hmm.
First Rosemary discussed stability of triples - dynamical stability of isolated triples to internal spontaneous ejection - looking at analytic criteria for overlapping resonances to second order in the disturbing function
then Ivanova and meself talked - first Ivanova skated through the theoretical zoo of dynamically formed triples, stable and not, finishing with a teaser about 4U1820-303, then I talked about The Triple.
all on video and podcast as always.

Many years ago, as I was writing up my thesis, my advisor burst into my office with the hot news.
Someone had announced a possible discovery of an extrasolar planet!
It seems strange now, but back then we really did not know if there were any other planets around other stars.
A lot of astronomers…

new week, new topic - actually we'll be doing a lot of extragalactic globulars and the mass function of the clusters, but we start with Guido summarizing what we know about the stellar mass function within the clusters - including mass segregation and differential mass loss.
Wheee.

So there's another planet pulsar out there? Interesting...
That's a strange phenomenon in the universe.
