I s tayed at the University to study for my PhD in astrophysics at the Institu te of Astronomy\, graduating in 2005. After this she undertook postdoctora l research at the Institut d’Astrophysics de Paris\, Queen’s Universit y Belfast and the Institute of Astronomy. In 2011 I was appointed as a Lec turer of Astrophysics at The University of Auckland. My research is focuss ed upon the lives and deaths of stars. Most of my work involves the suite of computer codes I have created\, the Binary Population and Spectral Synt hesis code (BPASS\, bpass.auckland.ac.nz). Using BPASS I study stars in ou r own Galaxy to stars in the galaxies at the edge of the observable Univer se. In addition to my research activities I am also keen to participate in public understanding of science activities and have helped out at open da ys for previous departments. I have also given many public talks in Invern ess\, Chester\, Antrim and Cambridge. My talks are on various subjects suc h as: "The Birth\, Life and Death of Stars"\, "Stars in their death throes ” and “Supernova Kicks and Runaway Stars". More information can be fou nd at https://jjeldridge.blogs.auckland.ac.nz/\n\n\nAbstract\n\nMost of th e stars in the Universe are not single like our Sun but in binary stars sy stems. A binary star is composed of two stars in orbit around each other\, as they age they can "get-in-each-others" way and experience very differe nt evolution to that of our stars like our Sun. Only over the last decade it has become clear that to accurately understand the Universe we need to take account of these interacting binary stars. In my talk I will go over a few examples showing how understanding binary stars allows us to unders tand the appearance of galaxies\, the diversity of supernovae\, the produc tion of the most abundant and rarest elements and the production of gravit ational wave transients.\n\n SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-US:Live zoom presentation - Sep 17 (Thursday) 4 PM - Ph ysics and Astronomy Colloquium DTSTART;TZID=Central Standard Time:20200917T160000 DTEND;TZID=Central Standard Time:20200917T170000 UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E0080000000084CF93626C8BD601000000000000000 010000000E66BD0A8B47D2549B98D1560757F2C81 CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20200915T143330Z TRANSP:OPAQUE STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en-US:Live Zoom X-MICROSOFT-CDO-APPT-SEQUENCE:0 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-OWNERAPPTID:2118745220 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:FALSE X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INSTTYPE:0 X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
