MSUM’s Society of Physics Students members Melissa Foley, Jane Glanzer and Isobel Snellenberger attended and presented at the APS Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics at Northwestern University January 18-20. There, they learned about challenges of being a woman in physics and presented their research done at MSUM. Melissa, Jane and Isobel hope to use tools learned at this conference […]
Friday, Dec. 7 | 3 p.m. | Hagen 325 Student Projects: Jane Glanzer, Senior Project: B-Band Stretch Method for SN 2011fe. SN 2011fe was a Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that occurred in the galaxy M101 in 2011. Type Ia act as good distance indicators because of their ability to be standardized, meaning that there is a distinct relationship between their […]
Friday, Sept. 28 | 3-3:50 p.m. | Hagen Hall 325 Investigations of Noise Transients in the Advanced LIGO Calibration Model LIGO searches for gravitational waves in calibrated data using time-dependent calibration parameters. In this project, we looked for significant fluctuations in these parameters during the second observing run. Large fluctuations in these parameters may indicate a significant error in the Advanced […]
The Student Leadership Awards Ceremony was held to celebrate and recognize student involvement at MSUM. The ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 18 where we recognized these individuals for their inner passion to get active, connected, and involved. The Student Leadership Award winners: Olivia Matthews with SPECTRUM for Student Organization Advisor of the Year Adam Schutt from Kappa Sigma for […]
Friday, Feb. 23 | 3-3:50 p.m. | HA 325 Physics Seminar this Friday will feature senior project proposal talks by MSUM physics students Sam Holen and Jane Glanzer. Jane will speak about super novas in a talk titled “Light Curve Study of SN2011fe with the Stretch and MLCS Method.” Sam will speak about different ways to determine the electric potential […]
