SUMMARY:General Meeting - October 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Universe in Infrared Light (There is no Red in Infrared) \nThe infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum plays an indispensable role in both terrestrial and astronomical applications. On Earth\, IR light runs our remote controls\, provides security and surveillance\, and identifies disease. In space\, infrared light allows us to explore planet surface features\, quantify an atmosphere\, and probe through a galactic dust cloud. As advanced technology expands both the size and sensitivity of the IR sensor array\, missions like New Horizons and spacecraft like the James Webb Space Telescope become practical. \n \nToday’s infrared devices make discoveries of thousands of asteroids by the likes of NeoWise to Big Bang protogalaxies imaged by Hubble-like space telescopes something no longer beyond human accomplishment.. This talk will make a somewhat abbreviated overview of the role infrared light and the IR sensor have played in modern astronomy. \n \nGary Bostrup \nGary is a retired Rockwell International Science Center semiconductor materials engineer working in the infrared (IR) sensor field. Over his career\, he helped design and build IR detectors for everything from the Hubble Space Telescope\, to the Deep Impact Probe\, to the New Horizons spacecraft\, to the James Web Space Telescope. Devices Gary help create are active to this day in astronomical observatories around the world from Mauna Kea in Hawaii to South Wales\, Australia. Among the many discoveries\, sensors built by his team helped establish the current limit of the Big Bang at 13.8 billion light years. recorded the first impacts on Jupiter of the comet Shoemaker-Levy\, and finally charted the surface of Pluto. Gary was honored to work with fellow engineers across several disciplines that designed and built the infrared sensors to be launched on the James Web Space Telescope in 2020.\nGary also trained to be an astronaut payload specialist\, intended to fly abroad the Space Shuttle Discovery. In the process\, he logged over 10\,800 seconds in near-zero gravity aboard NASA’s Vomit Comet Boeing 707 low gravity airplane platform. He also served on the NASA material design committee tasked to help build the International Space Station. Gary followed this with space research done at Edward’s Air Force Base\, Marshall Space Flight Center and NASA Washington. These days he enjoys collecting space memorabilia\, doing web design/coding\, and contacting the ISS space station as a ham radio operator. \nViews: 3

SUMMARY:Astrophysics SIG Meeting
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nOur Astrophysics group meets to discuss and learn about how the universe works as a seminar group that bases its discussions on topics of interest introduced by the participants and the videos that are shown during the meetings on different aspects of astrophysics. The meetings are held in the classroom at the Heritage Museum of Orange County\, located at 3101 W. Harvard Ave.\, Santa Ana. The museum is located about a half-block west of Fairview; Harvard is about two miles north of the 405 Fwy\, between Warner and Edinger.

SUMMARY:General Meeting - September 2019
DESCRIPTION:News from the Universe\n \nThe Virgo and two LIGO Gravitational Wave observatories are in observation mode. They detect more than one inspiral event per week\, of Black Holes and Neutron Stars\, and started making a strange picture of the collapsed-matter Universe. \nWhy are there so many heavy Black Holes out there? How did they form in the early Universe? Why so many inspirals? And also why BH pairs appear to come from random pairing and not from binary star systems? And on another front\, how can pulsar neutron stars be spheres smoother than 20 µm over 12 km radius and still be rigid enough to generate the starquakes believed to cause the pulsar frequency glitches? These are some of the new questions we have to answer. We also learned about the source of at least one class of Gamma Ray Bursts\, the galactic gold factories\, and more. \nRiccardo DeSalvo\n \nA lifetime instrument maker\, starting from the laser of his thesis in Pisa\, then for 15 years in High Energy Physics (CERN and Cornell Lab for Nuclear Studies)\, finally 25 years on Gravitational Waves\, on mechanical design of GW detectors (Virgo\, TAMA\, KAGRA and parts of LIGO)\, initially on seismic isolation\, then on dissipation mechanisms and thermal noise in dielectric coating mirrors\, the limiting factor of GW detection. Presently make a living developing sensors for FB\, and work on coatings and GW developments as a personal hobby\, with 3-4 students. \nViews: 3
