A team of astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a partner, has captured a massive stream of gas—one trillion miles, or .2 light years long—feeding the young triple-star system GW Orionis.

NSF NRAO radio observations help rule out a relativistic jet in rare stellar explosion
Astronomers studying a rare stellar explosion first spotted as a brief burst of X-rays used radio observations to help show that the dying star did not produce the powerful jet often associated with gamma-ray bursts.

The National Society of Black Physicists is pleased to announce the 2015 Annual Conference
The conference is to be held at the Hilton Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland on Wednesday, February 25–Saturday, February 28, 2015.
The Annual Conference brings together a broad range of experts in multiple fields of physics (astronomy, astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter and materials, physics, high energy….and more). NSBP conference is the largest academic meeting of minority physicists in the United States. It is co-organized in partnership with Associated Universities, Inc. and co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
NSBP is privileged to have 246 students sponsored by the National Science Foundation. In addition, the Hilton Baltimore Hotel will sponsor two students through a separate application process.
The conference will consist of three full days of educational sessions, exhibitions, and interactive networking opportunities, as well as, a student career fair and poster sessions on cutting edge issues related to current trends in physics and science.
We hope you will join us as we “Re-Vision The Future of Scientific Leadership.”
