Late evolution, death, and afterlife of stars stripped in binaries (PhD defense Eva Laplace, UvA)
Eva Laplace hopes to receive her PhD from the University of Amsterdam on 14 January. Laplace studied how binary stars influence each other.
In a side project, she created award-winning software that depicts the life of a star in a more intuitive way. Until now, all teaching methods used diagrams that were difficult to grasp, such as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, which is more than a hundred years old. The supervisors are Selma de Mink and Lex Kaper. Copromotor is Stephen Justham.
