New publication from Dan Stinebring with alumnus Hengrui Zhu, and from Michael Moore with collaborators in China and Missouri

AAS and IOP publication
As found in the Web of Science:

  • a recent publication from Emeritus Professor of Physics and Astronomy Dan Stinebring and May graduate Hengrui Zhu. 

Dolch, T., Daniel R. Stinebring, G. Jones, Hengrui Zhu '21, R. S. Lynch, T. Cohen, P. B. Demorest, M. T. Lam, L. Levin, M. A. McLaughlin, and N. T. Palliyaguru. 2021. Deconvolving pulsar signals with cyclic spectroscopy: a systematic evaluation. Astrophysical Journal 913:98.


From the abstract: "We show that cyclic spectroscopy is most effective for high [signal-to-noise ratio] and/or highly scattered pulsars. We conclude that cyclic spectroscopy could play an important role in scattering correction to distant populations of highly scattered pulsars not currently included in PTAs."

  • and from Professor of Biology Mike Moore:

Zhang, Y., T. Deng, L. Sun, J. B. Landis, Michael J. Moore, H. Wang, Y. Wang, X. Hao, J. Chen, S. Li, M. Xu, P. Puno, P. H. Raven, and H. Sun. 2021. Phylogenetic patterns suggest frequent multiple origins of secondary metabolites across the seed-plant 'tree of life'. National Science Review 8:nwaa105.

The concluding sentence of the abstract notes that "the distribution patterns for [plant secondary metabolites] observed in this study may also be useful in the search for natural compounds for medicinal purposes."
