Acceleration of particles to high energy via gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field
Charles H. McGruder
Gravitational repulsion is an inherent aspect of the Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein-Hilbert field equations of general relativity. We show that this circumstance means that…
The 1916 PhD Thesis of Johannes Droste and the Discovery of Gravitational Repulsion
Charles H. McGruder, B. Wieb VanDerMeer
One of the biggest mysteries of astrophysics is the question of how highly energetic particles in relativistic jets and cosmic rays are accelerated. Recently, it has been suggested…
Maximizing LSST's Scientific Return: Ensuring Participation from Smaller Institutions
Charles T. Liu, Beth Willman, Joshua Pepper +21
The remarkable scientific return and legacy of LSST, in the era that it will define, will not only be realized in the breakthrough science that will be achieved with catalog data.…
The RCT 1.3-meter Robotic Telescope: Broad-band Color Transformation and Extinction Calibration
Louis-Gregory Strolger, Andrew M. Gott, Michael Carini +7
The RCT 1.3-meter telescope, formerly known as the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 50-inch telescope, has been refurbished as a fully robotic telescope, using an autonomous s…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy Through K-12 Education and Public Outreach (Paper II)
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
In order to attract, recruit and retain underrepresented minority students to pursue Astronomy and related fields, we must ensure that there continues to be a well qualified pool o…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy at the Undergraduate, Graduate, and Postdoctoral Levels (Paper I)
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
If the ethnic makeup of the astronomy profession is to achieve parity with the general population within one generation (~30 years), the number of underrepresented minorities earni…
