The Science of Star Wars
In the past couple of weeks, I had the pleasure of working with the communications office and other faculty at Georgia Tech to produce a series of short articles on the Science of Star Wars. I chose to highlight the findings of NASA's Kepler Mission and connect them with the planets in the Star … Continue Reading ››
2 New Papers: Massive BH Formation and Growth
In the past month, we have submitted two papers on the subject of massive black hole formation and growth. The first was led by John Regan at Durham University, and the second was led by KwangHo Park here at the CRA.
In Regan et al. (arXiv), we investigate the process of massive black … Continue Reading ››
