ABOUT US FACULTY ACADEMICS COURSES ... LINKS Departmental News 08/24/2005 :: Physics and Astronomy Department has hired four new graduate faculty Dr. Chonglin Chen has been appointed as Associate Professor. He received his Ph.D. in Solid State Science from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in 1994, working on surface diffusion. He also has a Masters degree in physics from Penn State, and an M.S. in Materials Engineering from the Institute of Metal Research, The Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before coming to UTSA, he was Associate Research Professor of Physics and Materials Science, and Task Leader of Oxide Thin Film Science and Nano Structures, at the Texas Center for Superconductivity, University of Houston. Dr. Chen is an experimentalist with an impressive publication record in the physics of epitaxial thin films, nanostructures, and advanced materials in general. Dr. Zlatko Koinov, who was until recently a full-time Lecturer at our department, has been promoted to the position of Assistant Professor. His expertise is in theoretical solid state physics and received his Ph.D. from St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University, Russia. Before coming to the U.S., he was a professor at Sophia University in Bulgaria. More information about Dr. Koinov can be found on his page on this web site. We, at the Physics and Astronomy Department, are all very happy and fortunate to have these four new professors joining us now that the graduate programs start operations. We wish the best of luck to all of them.

Astronomy News Announcements of current events in Astronomy, published by Perth Observatory Friday, September 16, 2005 “Night Sky” for September 19, 2005 - The Moon's waning, with last quarter phase coming next Sunday the 25th. Venus dominates the western sky at dusk, with Jupiter well below it and setting earlier and earlier. Venus will be around till New Year. Mars rises in the east-northeast at about 10:30pm, looking like a bright orange star. Information provided by Perth Observatory, 337 Walnut Rd, Bickley 6076. Phone 9293-8255, fax 9293-8138. posted by Greg at 4:17 PM Friday, September 02, 2005 "Night Sky" for September 5, 2005 - Many people are mystified by the movements of the planets. Venus and Jupiter, for instance. Being the brightest starlike objects in the western evening sky, these two planets have captured people's attention lately with their apparent close approach. They're nowhere near each other! Venus is about 165 million km from here, and Jupiter about 936 million km. Venus looks mighty bright because it's close to us. Jupiter is much bigger, but much further away. Planets closer to the Sun orbit faster, and those further out go slower. All of the planets, including Earth, orbit in an easterly direction. We're overtaking Jupiter on the inside track, so it seems to slip a bit further west each night. Venus is overtaking us on the inside, and therefore isn't slipping to the west - it's more or less keeping pace with us, and seems to hold station in the western sky each evening while Jupiter and the stars go slowly scrolling past it. If this explanation doesn't gel for you, try drawing a sketch showing the positions of Venus and Jupiter and the stars nearby. Within a couple of days, you'll see how Venus has shifted compared to Jupiter and the stars.

Astronomy News The following news stories are adapted from NASA press releases and Astronomy Magazine news updates. Click on the links for more information about these discoveries! A New Extrasolar Planet is Found Inside a Globular Cluster July 10, 2003 The Chandra X-ray Observatory Discovers an X-ray Jet Coming From a Pulsar July 10, 2003 A wild jet of x-rays is shooting out from the Vela pulsar, located about 1,000 light years away. This is the most erratic stellar jet ever discovered, traveling at half the speed of light and reaching half a light year into space. The jet is also changing rapidly: within the space of two weeks, noticeable changes in shape and intensity can be seen, as pictured below. The bright rings or bubbles seen in the pulsar are now believed to be shockwaves resulting from the jet's motion. NASA Launches the Mars Opportunity Rovers July 7, 2003 There are currently four spacecraft on their way to Mars. The most recent traveler is NASA's Mars Opportunity rover, which will land near the Martian equator in January 2004. Opportunity's twin spacecraft, Spirit, was launched on June 10, and will land in a crater on the opposite side of the planet from Opportunity. The main goal of the Opportunity and Spirit missions is to study evidence of water in the rocks and soil of the Martian surface. The European Space Agency launched its first planetary exploration mission on June 2, when Mars Express lifted off. In July 1998, Japan also launched its first planetary satellite, called Nozomi, but it encountered some problems which are making the trip to Mars last a lot longer than was expected.
