Actually, this situation could be more common than you might think, as most stars are in binary systems. If a star is in a binary pair, how does that affect its life and death? Dr. Katelyn Breivik of Carnegie Mellon University tells us all about these systems and what scientists and other curious minds can learn from them. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-astrophysics-podcast-6738395/episodes/dr-katelyn-breivik-how-binary-stars-evolve/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-astrophysics-podcast-6738395/dr-katelyn-breivik-how-binary-stars-evolve.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
