Hands-on Gravitational Wave Astronomy: Extracting astrophysical information from simulated signals
Louis J. Rubbo, Shane L. Larson, Michelle B. Larson +1
In this paper we introduce a hands-on activity in which introductory astronomy students act as gravitational wave astronomers by extracting information from simulated gravitational…
Gravitational Waves: new observatories for new astronomy
Louis J. Rubbo, Shane L. Larson, Michelle B. Larson +1
This article reviews the current status of gravitational wave astronomy and explains why astronomers are excited about the new generation of gravitational wave detectors. As part o…
Studies of Air Showers above 10^18 eV with the CHICOS Array
T. W. Lynn, E. Brobeck, B. E. Carlson +10
CHICOS (California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory) is presently an array of more than 140 detectors distributed over a large area (~400 km^2) of southern California, and will c…
Search for Correlated High Energy Cosmic Ray Events with CHICOS
R. D. McKeown, B. E. Carlson, E. Brobeck +8
We present the results of a search for time correlations in high energy cosmic ray data (primary E > 10^14 eV) collected by the California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory (CHICO…
Science Icebreaker Activities: An Example from Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Michelle B. Larson, Louis J. Rubbo, Kristina D. Zaleski +1
At the beginning of a class or meeting an icebreaker activity is often used to help loosen the group and get everyone talking. Our motivation is to develop activities that serve th…
Search for Correlated High Energy Cosmic Ray Events with CHICOS
B. E. Carlson, E. Brobeck, C. J. Jillings +8
We present the results of a search for time correlations in high energy cosmic ray data (primary E > 10^{14} eV) collected by the California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory (CHI…
Simulations of Glitches in Isolated Pulsars
Michelle B. Larson, Bennett Link
Many radio pulsars exhibit glitches wherein the star's spin rate increases fractionally by . Glitches are ascribed to variable coupling between the neutron…
Superfluid Friction and Late-time Thermal Evolution of Neutron Stars
Michelle B. Larson, Bennett Link
The recent temperature measurements of the two older isolated neutron stars PSR 1929+10 and PSR 0950+08 (ages of and yr, respectively) indicate that t…
