- Interview with Dr Anna Watts (MPA) - January 2008 (MP3)
Nick talked to Anna Watts about neutron stars. Anna tells us how these extremely dense objects push our understanding of general relativity and nuclear physics. Observations using X-ray telescopes are now allowing us to monitor star quakes and infer properties of highly magnetised neutron stars - magnetars. - Interview with Dr Carole Mundell (Liverpool John Moores University) - May 2007 Extra (MP3)
Nick Rattenbury talked to Carole Mundell about supermassive black holes in active galaxies. We find out that black holes aren't really great cosmic vacuum cleaners and allow some matter to escape their grasp and be hurled out in jets. Some of these jets even appear to be moving faster than light. - Interview with Prof Steve Rawlings (University of Oxford) - April 2007 (MP3)
