David Charbonneau: How to Find an Inhabited Exoplanet
Over the past two decades, astronomers have discovered thousands of planet candidates around other stars. The recent announcement of an Earth-mass planet in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system, highlights the fact that these other solar systems are common. Watch as one of the pioneering scientists in the field of exoplanet detection and characterizations shares the details of this exciting research. GTCC’s Cline Observatory and the GTCC Foundation present the 2016 Jo Cline Astronomy Lecture, “How to Find an Inhabited Exoplanet,” by Dr. David Charbonneau.
The NASA Kepler Mission taught us that Earth-sized planets are a commonplace throughout the Galaxy. But did life take root on any of these distant worlds? Using upcoming large telescopes, astronomers will search the atmospheres of Earth-like planets for the telltale chemical fingerprints of life.

Gabriela Gonzalez Einstein: Gravitational Waves, Black Holes, and Other Matters
Cline Observatory and the GTCC Foundation present The 2018 Jo Cline Memorial Astronomy Day Lecture "Einstein, Gravitational Waves, Black Holes, and Other Matters" by Dr. Gabriela González, LSU/LIGO
About the Talk: More than a hundred years ago, Einstein predicted that there were ripples in the fabric of space-time traveling at the speed of light: gravitational waves. On September 14 2015, the LIGO detectors in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana in the US registered for the first time ever a loud gravitational wave signal traveling through Earth, created more than a billion years ago by the merger of two black holes. Several other gravitational waves from black holes were detected, including one by LIGO and the Virgo detector in Europe produced by two neutron stars giving birth to a black hole, generating also electromagnetic waves (light!) detected by many telescopes, and helping us understand the origin of gold. We will describe the history and details of the observations, and the gravity-bright future of the field.
About the Speaker: Gabriela González is a physicist working on the discovery of gravitational waves with the LIGO team. She was born in Córdoba, Argentina, studied physics at the University of Córdoba, and pursued her Ph.D. in Syracuse University, obtained in 1995. She worked as a staff scientist in the LIGO group at MIT until 1997, when she joined the faculty at Penn State. In 2001 she joined the faculty at Louisiana State University, where she is a professor of physics and astronomy. She has received awards from the American Physical Society, the American Astronomical Society and the US National Academy of Sciences, and is a Fellow of the Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She has been a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration since it was funded in 1997, served as the elected LSC spokesperson in 2011-2017, and is known for participating in the announcement of the discovery of gravitational waves in 2016. Her work has focused on LIGO instrument development (especially reducing noise sources and tuning alignment systems) and LIGO data calibration and diagnostics, critical to increasing the astrophysical reach of data analysis methods.

Gayle Riggsbee: When an Eclipse Trip Cost was only One Dollar
When an Eclipse Trip Cost was only One Dollar — Gayle Riggsbee, member of the Charlotte Amateur Astronomers Club since 1960, discusses events surrounding a solar eclipse that was predicted to occur May 28, 1900, in the southeastern part of America. Riggsbee shares how George Hale, director of the Yerkes Observatory, suggested that many of the major astronomical observatories meet at the same place along the eclipse path so that their research could be coordinated. This is the story of how participating institutions and famous (or soon to be famous) people gathered in Wadesboro, N.C., to observe the eclipse.

Our Sun: Then, Now, and What Might Be by Dr. Alicia Aarnio, UNC-Greensboro
How do we know what the sun was like in its youth, and the conditions under which our unique blue planet came to be? What do we know about other stars like the sun that can give us more insight into its temperament now and into the future? The solar-stellar connection helps us piece together these puzzles, allowing us to look into the sun's past and into its future with fascinating and potentially catastrophic answers!
Dr. Alicia Aarnio is an astrophysicist studying the sun, young suns, and young, intermediate-mass stars. She is currently assistant professor of physics and astronomy at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she works with students on research in her group, the UNCG-stars. Magnetic fields, often blamed and sometimes feared in astrophysics, have long fascinated and been, in their various manifestations, the overarching focus of Dr. Aarnio's research throughout her career. In addition to her research, Dr. Aarnio is active in the American Astronomical Society leadership, co-chairing the Working Group on Accessibility and Disability as well as the departmental climate Site Visit Oversight Committee. You can find her on twitter @AliciaAarnio.
