Brian Cherinka joined the Dunlap in October, 2012, as part of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) team.
Cherry is currently a permanent astronomer of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France, under the Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie de l’Environnement et de l’Espace (LPC2E). Cherry’s research interests lie in the area of pulsar and transients, as well as signal-processing…
Rachael Alexandroff studies feedback from actively accreting supermassive black holes (quasars) using a variety of multi-wavelength data in the radio to the X-ray. She previously identified the largest catalog of optically-selected obscured quasars in the early Universe and has been using this catalog to study…
John Antoniadis’s research focuses on using pulsars as laboratories to study fundamental physics. He is particularly interested in measuring the masses of millisecond pulsars and inferring the equation-of-state of dense nuclear matter.
In January 2017, Laura moved to Yale University to become an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department.
While at the Dunlap, Rachel Friesen studied the earliest stages of star formation by observing the cold, dense molecular clouds from which stars arise. She examined the light emitted by molecules within these regions to gain an understanding of the composition, structure, temperature and internal…
