An international team of astronomers has discovered the first radio-bright tidal disruption event (TDE) occurring outside a galaxy’s center using the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) Very Large Array (NSF VLA) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), along with several partner telescopes.

First-ever Detection of “Heavy Water” in a Planet-forming Disk
The discovery of ancient water in a planet-forming disk reveals that some of the water found in comets—and maybe even Earth—is older than the disk’s star itself, offering breakthrough insights into the history of water in our Solar System.
Astronomers Detect Lowest Mass Dark Object Yet in Distant Universe
An international research team, using a worldwide network of radio telescopes, has detected an enigmatic dark object with a mass about one million times that of our Sun without observing any emitted light. This is the lowest mass dark object ever detected at a cosmological distance using only its gravitational influence.
NRAO’s Lory Wingate outlines Project Management best practice in new textbook.
AUI wishes to congratulate Lory Wingate, whose book, “Project Management for Research and Development: Guiding Innovation for Positive R&D Outcomes” has been published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group, an important publisher of scientific, technical, and medical content for academics, professionals, and students.
Lory is Director of Program Management at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). Her book forms part of the publisher’s Best Practices and Advances in Program Management series, outlining methods that can be applied to innovation projects and other creative endeavors. The book’s diagrams, surveys, checklists, and question-answer forms guide readers through a process that helps them structure their own projects. NRAO has benefitted from Lory’s expertise in this area since she joined in 2009, following previous roles in policy research, aerospace engineering, production and support, and scientific research organizations. She has an MBA in information technology management, is a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®), and Certified Expert Systems Engineer (INCOSE®). Her book can be obtained through www.crcpress.com or www.amazon.com.
