Astronomy in the City for Astronomy Education [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015 AbstractAstronomy is part of our culture. Astronomy cannot be isolated in a classroom, it has to be integrated in the normal life of teachers and students. “Astronomy in the city” is an important part of NASE (Network for Astronomy School Education) (Ros & Hemenway 2012). In each NASE course we introduce a “working group session” chaired by a local

Astrophotonics: the rise of integrated photonics in astronomy [PDF]
Optics & Photonics News (2019), 2019 Astronomers have come to recognize the benefits of photonics, often in combination with optical systems, in solving longstanding experimental problems in Earth-based astronomy. Here, we explore some of the recent advances made possible by integrated photonics. We also look to the future with a view to entirely new kinds of astronomy, particularly in an

Jets, Disks and Winds from Spinning Black Holes: Nature or Nurture?
Galaxies, 2022 A brief summary is given of an alternative interpretation of the Event Horizon Telescope observations of the massive black hole in the nucleus of the nearby galaxy M87. It is proposed that the flow is primarily powered by the black hole rotation, not the
