The Center produced the first Variable Sources in Galaxies Workshop where research presentations were given on the topic of time-resolved observations of objects in galaxies that vary. Galaxies are relatively stable structures over millions (but possibly not billions) of years. However, galaxies are teeming with erratically variable sources. This zoo of flickering, pulsating, dipping, flaring and oscillating objects provide a wealth of information about exotic objects in our galaxy and others. In this workshop, many of these variable sources were discussed.
The Scientific Organizing Committee was spearheaded by Professor Dave Russell, along with Joseph Gelfand, Andrea Macció, and Ingyin Zaw. The workshop poster may be found here.
CASS Director, Professor Andrea V. Macciò moderated a talk called Careers in Space on November 29, 2023. He was joined by UAE astronaut Hazzaa AlMansoori alongside crew members from NASA's Expedition 69, Frank Rubio (NASA), Stephen Bowen (NASA), and Andrey Fedyaev (Roscosmos). They discussed their individual career highlights and engaged with students and the NYUAD community.
