The Physics Colloquium continues at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 17 in Magruder Hall 1000 with a presentation on subdwarf B variable stars by Maggie Brewer of the Department of Physics at William Jewell College. Subdwarf B variable (sdBV) stars are a class of hot, helium burning stars that represent a stage of late stellar evolution. These stars, only classified in the last 20 years, have short periods of around 200 seconds. The short periods make these stars ideal for undergraduate students to study, as a few nights of data can lead to well defined periods. This is an intermediate level presentation. Snacks are provided five minutes before the talk. For a list of upcoming colloquia go to http://physics.truman.edu/colloquia/mainstage.asp.
