ASTROPHYSICS

WHAT IS GALACTIC ARCHAEOLOGY?

Dr Anke Arentsen-Ardern is an observational astronomer in the field of Galactic Archaeology at Cambridge's world famous Institute of Astronomy. She works on the formation and evolution of the ancient Milky Way and the properties of old stellar populations, using observations of old, metal-poor stars, typically utilising spectroscopy. Anke has been a Herchel Smith Fellow at the Institute of Astronomy and Research Fellow at Fitzwilliam College Cambridge University. She did her undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands before going to Germany to do her PhD at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam. She was then a Postdoc at the Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg, France. She has used telescopes across Europe and draws on global data to inform the earliest stages of the earliest stars in our galaxy.

"Galactic Archaeologist" is one of the coolest job titles I have ever seen. If you like astronomy and are interested in how its research is done, this will be a treat!

The Polymath World Channel brings you interviews with extraordinary researchers and academics working on the frontiers of their disciplines. Meet and hear from scientists, professors, lecturers, researchers, engineers, philosophers and astronauts.
