Joseph Eimer, Chuck Bennett, and Toby Marriage Publish Microwave Polarization Maps of 75% of the Sky
Associate Research Scientist Joseph Eimer, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Chuck Bennett, and Professor Toby Marriage have published maps of the sky in The Astrophysical Journal that help to explain the formation and evolution of the universe. The team employed the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor, or CLASS, telescope, a collaboration led by JHU.
Yahui Zhang Named 2024 Sloan Research Fellow
Assistant Professor Yahui Zhang has been named a Sloan Research Fellow. Zhang is among 126 early-career scholars who represent the most promising scientific researchers working today. Each recipient receives $75,000, which may be spent over a two-year term on any expense supportive of their research.
Suvi Gezari Named Science Lead for NASA’s UVEX Space Telescope Scheduled for 2030 Launch
Research Scientist Suvi Gezari has been named Science Lead for the Dynamic Universe on NASA’s UVEX (UltraViolet EXplorer) space telescope mission. UVEX is NASA’s next Astrophysics Medium-Class Explorer mission and is scheduled to launch in 2030. It will survey ultraviolet light across the entire sky to provide more insight into galaxies near and far, localize gravitational wave events, characterize supernovae within hours of explosion, and provide a legacy data archive for the science community.
Research by Nashwan Sabti, et al. on High-redshift Galaxies Subject of APS Physics News Feature
A recent publication in Physics Review Letters by Postdoctoral Fellow Nashwan Sabati, Julian Muñoz, and William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor Marc Kamionkowski about ultramassive galaxies in the early universe is now the subject of a American Physical Society news feature and commentary titled “JWST Sees More Galaxies than Expected.”
David Thilker and the PHANGS Team Share Video Comparing Panchromatic Imaging of Nearby Disk Galaxies
Principal Research Scientist David Thilker and the team comprising the PHANGS (PHysics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS) HST+JWST program at STScI have released a new video of 19 nearby disk galaxies that show stars, gas, and dust on small scales. The video contrasts the starkly different appearance of spiral galaxies in ultraviolet-to-visible light from HST and in near- and mid-infrared light from JWST. The new data from JWST are revolutionizing our understanding of galaxies (in particular their dusty substructure and sites of star formation) but can only be fully interpreted with help from the aging Hubble. This fact underscores the need for realization of a future large UV-visible-NIR telescope such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory concept now under study by NASA.
Charles Meneveau Receives G K Batchelor Prize for 2024
Professor Charles Meneveau has been awarded the G K Batchelor Prize for 2024. This prestigious prize of $25,000 is sponsored by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and is awarded every 4 years to recognise the achievements of an active scientist who has made significant research contributions to fluid mechanics over the previous decade.
David Thilker Leads JWST Observations of 19 Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Principal Research Scientist David Thilker and the team comprising the PHANGS program have released new images of 19 nearby disk galaxies that show stars, gas, and dust on small scales. The near- and mid-infrared images to uncover the origins of intricate structures in hopes of advancing our understanding of the star formation process.
JHU Partners with Xanadu, a Global Leader in Quantum Computing, Spearheaded by Gregory Quiroz
Associate Research Scientist Gregory Quiroz has started a partnership with Xanadu to identify cooperative research projects that advance quantum computing. Quiroz will integrate Pennylane, a software framework for quantum computing, into his curriculum at APL. In particular, he and Dr. Paraj Titum will supplement quantum theory coursework with numerical, Pennylane examples provided by Xanadu, to bridge the gap between theory and modern quantum computing applications. In the long term, the partnership will seek to enhance quantum computing awareness and research within the department.
New Publication Identifies an Expected Key Building Block for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers
In a recent work published in Physical Review Letters, Postdoctoral Fellow Xiaoying Xu, former Postdoctoral Fellow in the department, Yufan Li, and Jacob L. Hain Professor C.L. Chien have demonstrated […]
