  1. GAASP:Gravity/Astronomy & Astrophysics/Space Physics NY Times & NPR Landolt Standards: 2825 citations B. Schaefer Farnese Atlas

  2. Commentary (slide #1) • GAASP includes a large fraction of P&A faculty • The group has a broad range of research interests and successes, most of which will not be mentioned due to time constraints; examples of breadth are: • Professor Landolt’s meticulous work on “standard stars” that is used for critical calibration of astronomical observations by the worldwide (professional & amateur) community; over 2800 citations, to date! • Hearne Professor Pullin’s work on “quantum-loop gravity” that aims to unify/expand our mathematical and physical understanding of the (traditionally disconnected) fields of quantum fields and gravity. • Professor B. Schaefer’s careful analysis of the star catalog that has been preserved on the marble statue known as the Farnese Atlas; 2005 media coverage included NY Times and NPR.
