Talk on tiny stars slated for March 9

Harry Shipman, Annie Jump Cannon Professor of Astronomy

4:56 p.m., Feb. 7, 2005--"Tiny Stars: White Dwarfs and Brown Dwarfs Shine Feebly in the Dark Sky" will be the subject of a presentation by Harry L. Shipman, Annie Jump Cannon Professor of Astronomy, at noon, Wednesday, March 9, in the Morris Library Class of 1941 Lecture Room.

An internationally recognized scholar in astronomy and astrophysics, Shipman will highlight research about white dwarf stars, which are final life stages of stars, and brown dwarfs. He also will talk about how the changing nature of the astronomical library has affected his research.

The free public event is part of UD’s Scholar in the Library Series, which is sponsored by the Professional Development Committee of the University of Delaware Library Assembly of Professional Staff (UDLAPS). Light refreshments will be served and brown bag lunches are welcome at the presentation.
