Description: Dr. Tyrone Woods is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. His work explores the underlying physics of some of the most energetic events in the Universe and the lives of the stars that precipitate them.
I am currently a Plaskett Fellow at the National Research Council of Canada’s Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre in Victoria, BC where I study the physics of some of the most energetic events in the Universe and the lives of the stars that precipitate them. Immense stellar explosions brighter than entire galaxies and even ripples in space-time itself can be caused by two interacting stars. These “binaries” are not as uncommon as one may think; around half of the stars that we see in the nig
