Constraining the Proton-to-Electron Mass Ratio over Cosmic Time
Using a rotational transition of methanol, this paper attempts to see if a fundamental constant has changed over cosmic time.
Active Asteroids
What happens when something looks like a comet but orbits like an asteroid?
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
MKIDs are an exciting new cryogenic detector technology that can be easily multiplexed into large arrays. The authors create a detector sensitive to UV, optical, and near-IR, and test it in the lab.
Looking for Lightning on Mars
Do dust storms cause lightning on Mars? This paper uses the Allen Telescope Array to search for electrostatic discharge on the Red Planet.
