SUMMARY:Online General Meeting - July 2020
DESCRIPTION:RSVP using the link on the box above.\nPlease install/update zoom client prior to the event.\n \nCosmic Dawn: The Birth of Galaxies in our Universe\n \nThe Milky Way is but one of an estimated two trillion galaxies in our observable Universe. Modern astronomical telescopes have revealed a rich ecosystem of galaxies\, but our Universe wasn’t always that way. In fact\, there was a time when galaxies did not exist. In this talk\, I will describe how astronomers are trying to unravel the mystery of how and when the first galaxies formed. \nAnson D’Aloisio\n \nI am an Assistant Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at UC Riverside. My research interests are in the fields of theoretical astrophysics and cosmology. I am particularly interested in the formation of structures in the Universe (e.g. galaxies and galaxy clusters)\, the epoch of reionization\, and gravitational lensing. I was born and raised in Middletown\, Connecticut. I did my undergraduate work at the University of California\, Riverside\, where I received my B.S. in Physics (minor in Math) in 2005. I went to graduate school at Yale University and received my Ph.D. in Physics in 2011. From there\, I took postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas at Austin\, and the University of Washington. \nViews: 1

SUMMARY:General Meeting - June 2020
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed.\nTo provide feedback about the meeting\, click here.\n \nOur Dusty Universe\n\nThe two first images of ESO’s GigaGalaxy Zoom project combined to show a whole view of the Milky Way as could be seen with the unaided eye\, and a more central region observed with an amateur telescope. \n\n  \nMost of the heavy elements that make up the Earth and everything on it (including us) once resided in tiny grains of dust in interstellar space.  I will describe the fascinating lives of interstellar dust grains from their formation in fiery supernova explosions to their incorporation into planets like Earth.  Although dust is an important player in many processes happening in our Galaxy\, it is still very mysterious.  I will explain how we are working to understand the properties of interstellar dust both in our Galaxy and others using space telescopes like Spitzer\, Herschel and\, soon\, the James Webb Space Telescope.\n  \nKarin Sandstrom\n  \n\n  \nI received my Ph.D. in Astronomy & Astrophysics in 2009 from the University of California\, Berkeley. I then moved to Heidelberg\, Germany as a postdoctoral researcher in the Galaxies and Cosmology Department at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. In 2011\, I was awarded a Marie Curie fellowship from the European Union to continue my postdoctoral work at MPIA. I moved to Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona in 2013 to become the Bok Postdoctoral Fellow. In August 2015\, I started as an assistant professor at the University of California\, San Diego in the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences.\nViews: 1

SUMMARY:General Meeting - May 2020 - Online
DESCRIPTION:This was an online event!\nPlease help us by submitting the feedback form. The link is on the box above.\n \nDeploying Astronomy-Inspired Techniques to Help Reduce the Damage from Wildfires\n \nOver the last decades\, we have developed image acquisition\, processing\, and analysis systems for finding distant supernovae. Such efforts resulted in the Berkeley Automated Supernova Search\, which was the first totally automated system for detecting nearby supernova. This search morphed into the Supernova Cosmology Project\, which extended our search reach to billions of light years\, and and helped lead to the discovery that the Universe’s expansion seemed to be speeding up a bit. One night while Pennypacker was discovering high redshift supernova at the Isaac Newton Telescope in the Canary Islands\, a significant fire in Oakland caused ~1.5 billion dollars of damage and the loss of 25 lives.\nFaced with the increasing danger of wildfires in California\, the speaker (CP) helped build a team (beyond UC Berkeley) and the collaborations that could use some of our ideas and skills to help decrease wildfire dangers\, through early detection. Our present evolving system includes searching cameras from the HPWREN system of cameras of UCSD\, and also cameras from the ALERT wildfire set of cameras. This system has proven capability to scan millions of images\, find small fires\, with a low false positive rate. \n\nIn addition\, we are proposing to build a geo-synchronous satellite that could detect a very small fire from geo orbit\, and alert fire manager to this fire early in it evolution. \nSuch systems hold the promise to make California a bit more resilient to the dangers of wildfires. \nDownload the published paper  -> Final_smoke_remotesensing-12-00166-v2 \n  \n \n  \nCarlton R. Pennypacker is an astrophysicist at the University of California\, Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and is the principal investigator for the Hands On Universe project.\nDr. Pennypacker has been motivated by the power and potential of student and scientist partnerships when teachers and students started discovering supernovae in the Hands On Universe project. Some of his discoveries have been featured in the news media.\nHe was awarded the Prix Jules Janssen of the French Astronomical Society in 2010.\nDr. Pennypacker has spent much of his career as a research astrophysicist\, receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1978. His principal research was the studying of supernovae and the building of techniques for their automated discovery. With Rich Muller\, he co-founded the Berkeley Supernova Search\, which later became the Supernova Cosmology Project. He shared the 2007 Gruber Prize in Cosmology and the 2015 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for the Supernova Cosmology Project’s discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. \nViews: 1

SUMMARY:General Meeting - April 2020 - Online!
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event\, please find the link to join on the top banner of this page!\nWill We Go to the Moon … and Do the Other Things?\n \nFifty years ago America landed men on the Moon. We’ve been trying to do it again for the last thirty years. Will the Artemis program get us there? Our future depends on our ability to set ambitious goals and martial resources toward those goals. What do our past successes teach us about how to achieve great things again? The Apollo program\, NASA’s grand reconnaissance of the solar system\, even the development of the internet all hold lessons for us today. \n \n\n\n\nDr. Laura Danly is the Curator of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles\, California. At Griffith Observatory\, her responsibilities include the development and implementation of all educational\, planetarium\, gallery\, telescope\, and theatre programs. She supervises a staff of about 150 including all of the interpretive staff\, and the art\, production\, and technical staffs who provide the astronomical\, audio-visual\, and multi-media programming throughout the Observatory. In particular\, Dr. Danly has produced\, directed\, and co-written four of Griffith Observatory’s most recent programs in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. Most recently\, Dr. Danly oversaw the renovation of all the technical systems in the planetarium theatre. \nDr. Danly spent the first ten years of her career at NASA’s Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) where she was a post-doctoral and Hubble Fellow conducting research with the Hubble Telescope (1987-1997). While at NASA she began her dual careers in astronomical research and public astronomy as STScI’s first Project Scientist for Education. After her departure from NASA in 1997\, she held academic appointments for eight years as a professor at Pomona College and the University of Denver where she taught physics and astronomy. During that time Dr. Danly also designed and implemented multi-disciplinary\, cross-departmental curricula in the then-new field of Astrobiology. \nWhile in Denver\, Dr. Danly also held an appointment as the first Curator of Space Science at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science\, and the first Chair of their new Space Sciences Department. From Denver\, Dr. Danly moved to New York City where she was the Senior Manager of Astrophysics Education at the American Museum of Natural History (2004-2006). \n \nDr. Danly’s experiences in public education span a wide range of activities and methods\, including planetarium show production\, astronomical data visualization\, exhibit design and construction\, and special event and broadcast production. She is an accomplished lecturer and teacher\, and has developed curricula for ages from elementary school to graduate school. She led several groups of university students that flew experiments on NASA’s KC-135 “vomit comet” aircraft. At NASA\, she founded STScI’s Women’s Science Forum\, a program for high school girls interested in science\, which is still active today. \nDr. Danly has delivered scores of public lectures\, and serves as a frequent resource to television and radio media for describing concepts in astronomy to the public. In recent years she has been a frequent guest on broadcast science programs and a regular host on the History Channel’s program\, The Universe. \nDr. Danly holds a Ph.D. in Astronomy (University of Wisconsin – Madison) and a bachelor’s degree in Physics from Yale University. She is a spectroscopist specializing in ultraviolet observations from space satellites. Her research focuses on the large-scale distribution and dynamics of the interstellar medium and its relationship to galaxy evolution. Dr. Danly is a member of the International Astronomical Union\, the American Astronomical Society\, and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific where she served for six years as a member of its Board of Directors. She has served on advisory boards to the White House and NASA. \n\n\n\nViews: 1
