Two MIT Kavli Institute IAP 2013 activities on the "Life Cycle of Stars" were selected to be video-recorded as part of an ongoing MIT Libraries and AMPS video project sponsored by Neil Pappalardo. See "The High Energy Lifestyle of Young Stars" by Dr. Norbert Schulz (MIT Kavli Institute); "Dissecting the X-rays from Supernova Remnants" by Dr. Laura Lopez (Pappalardo Fellow, Einstein Fellow, MIT Kavli Institute). Note: MIT retains copyright to these videos.
Researchers at The Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research explore extreme and unusual phenomena found beyond the Earth including extrasolar planets, black holes, neutron stars, and distant galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
