«Astronomía para Principiantes» continúa en SBS radio


Nuestro socio, el astrofísico y divulgador científico Ángel R. López-Sánchez (Australian Astronomical Optics, Macquarie University) continúa en 2020 con la colaboración que, ininterrumpidamente desde febrero de 2016, realiza con SBS radio en español. Se trata de la sección de diez minutos «Astronomía para Principiantes» que se suele emitir el primer o el último domingo del mes.

En 2020 Ángel ya ha realizado dos intervenciones: el domingo 2 de febrero (episodio 42), donde explicó la situación del cambio de brillo de la famosa estrella supergigante roja Betelgeuse con Carmenza Jiménez, y el domingo 1 de marzo (episodio 43), en el que habló con Esther Lozano sobre la Agencia Australiana del Espacio.

Todas las entrevistas son en español. Aunque puedes encontrar los audios con las entrevistas en la página web de SBS radio en español, Ángel los está compilando en su canal de iVoox.

López-Sánchez is an astrophysicist and science communicator working at the Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO) and the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Macquarie University (MQ) in Sydney (NSW, Australia). His research is focused in the analysis of star formation phenomena in galaxies of the Local Universe, especially in dwarf starbursts and spiral galaxies, using multi-wavelength (UV, optical, IR, radio) data. He presented his PhD Thesis at University of La Laguna and the Instituto Astrofisica de Canarias (Spain) in 2006. In 2007 he joined CSIRO Astronomy & Space Science (Sydney) with a postdoctoral position. He then joined the AAO (formerly the Australian Astronomical Observatory) and MQ in 2011. In July 2018 he was appointed as Senior Lecturer at AAO-MQ. He has been providing instrument and observing support at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT, Siding Spring Observatory, NSW) since 2011, being the instrument scientist of several instruments: the multi-fiber spectrograph 2dF+AAOmega and the near-infrared imager and spectrograph IRIS2. He also has large experience with integral-field spectroscopy (IFS), being a very active member of the SAMI collaboration at the AAT and part of the HECTOR Science Team. He currently is the Instrument Scientist of KOALA+AAOmega at the AAT, and leads the international astronomy survey "HI KOALA IFS Dwarf and irregular galaxy Survey" (Hi-KIDS), that is getting unique, high-quality IFS data of a sample of 100 nearby dwarf and irregular galaxies for which 21cm H I interferometric data is available He has large experience teaching undergraduate and PhD students and giving lectures and classes about Astronomy. Dr. López-Sánchez is passionate science communicator who continuously gives talks and public lectures, writes popular science articles and organizes science communication events and stargazing activities. He is very active in social media, his Twitter feed is @El_Lobo_Rayado.
