Ohana Kilo Hoku: Hawaiian Culture Based Astronomy Outreach
Tyler Trent
University of Maryland
Astronomy in Hawaii has become highly controversial in recent years, with construction of new telescopes on Mauna Kea drawing large protests from the local communities, especially Native Hawaiians. As someone who was born and raised on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, and has Native Hawaiian ancestry, I share my perspective on the conflict and present on the work of Ohana Kilo Hoku, a Native Hawaiian non-profit organization I am a member of. Drawing inspiration from ancient Native Hawaiian's who used the night sky to navigate the Pacific Ocean, we work to cultivate relationships between the youth and the science of the sky above.
Physics Colloquium – Jong-Woo Kim
Studying Magnetism with Resonant X-ray Scattering at Advanced Photon Source
Jong-Woo Kim, Physicists
Magnetic Material Group/Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory
X-ray scattering at synchrotron facilities such as the Advanced Photon Source provides a powerful platform for investigating magnetic order with element and orbital specificity. In this colloquium, I will introduce the fundamentals of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the principles of resonant elastic X-ray scattering (REXS), emphasizing how tuning to absorption edges enhances sensitivity to electronic and magnetic structures.
