Chandra Large Project Observations of the Supernova Remnant N132D: Measuring the Expansion of the Forward Shock
Xi Long, Paul P. Plucinsky, Terrance J. Gaetz +15
We present results from the Chandra X-ray Observatory Large Project (878 ks in 28 observations) of the Large Magellanic Cloud supernova remnant N132D. We measure the expansion of t…
Improving Undergraduate Astronomy Students' Skills with Research Literature via Accessible Summaries: An Exploratory Case Study with Astrobites-based Reading Assignments
Briley L. Lewis, Abygail R. Waggoner, Emma Clarke +17
Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, but reading comprehension skills are rarely exp…
Multi-Observatory Study of Young Stellar Energetic Flares (MORYSEF): No Evidence For Abnormally Strong Stellar Magnetic Fields After Powerful X-ray Flares
Konstantin V. Getman, Oleg Kochukhov, Joe P. Ninan +9
We explore the empirical power-law relationship between X-ray luminosity (Lx) and total surface magnetic flux (Phi), established across solar magnetic elements, time- and disk-aver…
Multi-Observatory Research of Young Stellar Energetic Flares (MORYSEF): X-ray Flare Related Phenomena and Multi-epoch Behavior
Konstantin V. Getman, Eric D. Feigelson, Abygail R. Waggoner +8
The most powerful stellar flares driven by magnetic energy occur during the early pre-main sequence (PMS) phase. The Orion Nebula represents the nearest region populated by young s…
