Informal Socialization in Physics Training

Posted by klaurent March 22, 2022April 4, 2022Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: This paper addresses issues related to the process of informal socialization into physics, particularly for senior graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Many physicists’ careers are built on the relationships they […]

Librational Feedback Cooling

Posted by dbos March 21, 2022Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Charles P. Blakemore, Denzal Martin, Alexander Fieguth, Nadav Priel, Gautam Venugopalan | Summary: Librational motion, whereby a rigid body undergoes angular oscillation around a preferred direction, can be observed in optically trapped, silica microspheres. We demonstrate the cooling of one librational degree of freedom for $sim 5~mu$m […]

Accretion Variability as a Guide to Stellar Mass Assembly

Posted by klaurent March 21, 2022Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: William J. Fischer, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Gregory J. Herczeg, Doug Johnstone, Ágnes Kóspál | Summary: Variable accretion in young stellar objects reveals itself photometrically and spectroscopically over a continuum of timescales and amplitudes. Most dramatic are the large outbursts (e.g., FU Ori, V1647 Ori, and EX […]
