September 2010 Extra: Homecoming

September 2010 Extra

In the show this time, we have an interview with Dr Dan Evans about black holes and jets and put your astronomical questions to Dr Tim O'Brien. As always we round up your feedback and bring you a selection of odds and ends from the astronomy world.

Interview

Dr Dan Evans is an astrophysicist at MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and also holds a research affiliation with Harvard University, at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. In this interview he talks about his main research interests of X-ray and multiwavelength observations of phenomena related to supermassive black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). He can also be found on the History Channel's 'The Universe' TV series.
