The Milky Way’s nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, is a promising target for deep multi-wavelength observations. Come listen to Prof. Julianne Dalcanton talk about her work catching up with the neighbor at #AAS233!
A spectrum is worth a thousand pictures. But all-sky spectra? Well, I bet they are worth many many thousands of pictures — introducing SDSS-V.
A ghostly plasma lens occulting QSR J1819+3845 has been imaged directly at radio wavelengths. What can we learn about this strange interloper? (Image: unrelated observation of solar activity resembling a jack-o’-lantern, courtesy NASA/GSFC/SDO)
Prof. Laura Lopez’s work bridges many gaps: between theory and observation, across the electromagnetic spectrum, and from beginning to end of stellar lives.
Pairs of occulting galaxies allow for the dust in galaxies to be mapped very accurately and give insight into the attenuation law in the outskirts of galaxies.
