Orion’s Erupting Star System Reveals Its Secrets

FUor stars flare suddenly, erupting in brightness, before dimming again many years later. It is now understood that this brightening is due to the stars taking in energy from their surroundings via gravitational accretion, the main force that shapes stars and planets. However, how and why this happens remained a mystery—until now, thanks to astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

Pride Month Statement

 

Pride Month is a time for celebration of LGBTQIA+ communities in commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising of 1969. At AUI, we celebrate an environment that is safe and welcoming to all, and the strength that our diversity brings us. We also reflect on our policies, outreach, and behavior to ensure a meaningful and lasting embrace of diversity and inclusion every day—beyond the month of June. At AUI, we remain committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture that accepts and appreciates all individuals regardless of race, gender, gender identity/expression, age, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, or national origin and culture.

Innovation and problem solving skills are paramount to science and technology and we ensure a diversity of perspectives and attract and retain top talent through a culture of inclusivity. This month we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ communities and how they help make AUI better as an organization.
