The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) and the Texas Tech University System (TTU System) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the establishment of a critical site for a proposed, cutting-edge telescope, the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).
A team of chemists and astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, the largest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever detected in space.
Nineteen high school students have been awarded for academic achievement, community involvement and leadership skills.
By combining the NSF NRAO’s expertise in radio astronomy with JHU’s cutting-edge computational resources, the collaboration will tackle the immense data processing and analysis challenges posed by the ngVLA and future astronomical surveys.
