The Meridian S02E02 - Galactic archeology & ash on the mountain

The second season of the Lund Observatory astronomy podcast has arrived, giving you an insight into the life and work of our astronomers! 

In the second episode of the second season Nic and Rebeca invite Diane Feuillet to the microphone.  Diane is a researcher here at Lund Observatory working on galactic archaeology using stellar abundances, ages and kinematics. 

This season we are also bringing you some field reporting from the  Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma, where a team of astronomers are  trying to catch an ultra-hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet. The Meridian is produced by Lund Observatory.
