During this talk I\u0027ll present the latest\ndiscoveries in our celestial neighborhood, including a comprehensive\n2010 census of stars, brown dwarfs, and planets closer than\n10 parsecs (about 33 light years). It turns out we\u0027ve got many\nmore small, red, neighbors than we knew, and some of them are\norbited by planets. There are also other dark, hidden, companions\nthat so far have eluded detection \u2013 just who are they?\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe School of Physics welcomes Todd Henry, professor of astronomy at Georgia State University.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Presented by the Georgia Tech School of Physics and the Department of Physics \u0026 Astronomy at Georgia State University"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-11-01 17:04:39","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:20","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-11-06T20:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-11-06T21:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-11-06T21:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-11-07 00:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-11-07 01:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-11-07 01:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chara.gsu.edu\/~thenry\/","title":"Dr. Todd Henry"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4188","name":"astronomy"},{"id":"1830","name":"GSU"},{"id":"960","name":"physics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
