Astronomers have uncovered a previously unknown, extreme kind of star factory by taking the temperature of a distant galaxy using the ALMA telescope. The galaxy is glowing intensely in superheated cosmic dust while forming stars 180 times faster than our own Milky Way.

Astronomers Share Largest Molecular Survey To-date: GOTHAM Legacy Data Goes Public
Astronomers in the “GBT Observations of TMC-1: Hunting Aromatic Molecules” research survey, known as GOTHAM, have released a spectral line survey with largest amount of telescope time ever conducted, charting more than 100 molecular species only found in deep space.
Astronomers Map Mysterious “Dark” Gas in the Milky Way
An international team of astronomers has created the first-ever large-scale maps of a mysterious form of matter, known as CO-dark molecular gas, in one of our Milky Way Galaxy’s most active star-forming neighborhoods, Cygnus X.
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.
