5. Planetary Transits

Frontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)
Professor
Bailyn talks about student responses for a paper assignment on the
controversy over Pluto. The central question is whether the popular
debate is indeed a "scientific controversy." A number of scientific
"fables" are discussed and a moral is associated with each: the demotion
of Pluto (moral: science can be affected by culture); the discovery of
51 Peg b (morals: expect the unexpected, and look at your data); the
disproof of pulsation as explanation for the Velocity Curves (moral:
sometimes science works like science).
00:00 - Chapter 1. A Case for Pluto? Interactions between Culture and Science
08:53 - Chapter 2. Velocity and Center of Mass
24:23 - Chapter 3. Observations of Hot Jupiters and the Selection Effect
31:55 - Chapter 4. Hot Jupiters - Double or Pulsating Stars?
39:49 - Chapter 5. Measuring Doppler Shifts to Understand Hot Jupiters
