The Natural Science Seminar Series at York College presents Sébastien Lépine from the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History.

    Real estate within 300 light-years of the Sun: a census of M dwarf stars for exoplanet surveys and Galactic archaeology.

    M dwarfs are the staple stars of the Galaxy. By far the dominant type of hydrogen-burning body, they also have a knack for "hiding in plain sight" due to their relatively low luminosities. As a result, the census of M dwarfs has traditionally been very incomplete, even in the neighborhood of the Sun. I will present results from my SUPERBLINK survey, which is now identifying over 90% of all M dwarfs within 300 light-years of the Sun -- some 300,000 stars all barely explored. This new census opens up huge "real estate" opportunities in the search for exoplanets. I will explain why M dwarfs make such attractive targets for current exoplanet surveys, particularly in the search for Earth-mass objects within a "habitable" zone. In addition, M dwarfs live such long lives, that they hardly change at all over cosmological timescales (>10 billion years). I will explain how M dwarfs can be used "stellar fossils" to explore the formation history and evolution of our Galaxy.

Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University and created by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld in 1992. The project is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. As a clinic, law students handle case work while supervised by a team of attorneys and clinic staff.

    Our guest speakers will be Elizabeth Webster and Nicole Harris from the Innocence Project.

    This visit was organized by Dr. Robin A. Harper, an Assistant Professor of political science and the Pre-Law advisor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences.  This program is open to all interested students and faculty.  The mission and work of The Innocence Project incorporates the work of specialists in many fields including criminal justice, ethics and jurisprudence, sociology, genetics, biotechnology, and chemistry to name a few.  This is a great opportunity to se the subjects taught in the classrooms at work in the "real world".

    Faculty are welcome to bring their classes to this event.

    If you are interested in attending, please let us know by sending an e-mail to Robin A. Harper

    Additional information about this program, such as room location, will be released shortly.
