Welcome to the fall edition of DiRAC’s newsletter!
It’s always a delight to be able to greet and welcome our students, researchers and supporters to the new academic year! For DiRAC, 2024 is shaping to be a big one: from welcoming new postdocs, students, and faculty, to starting to commission the Rubin Observatory in Chile.
Thanks to the generous support of the DiRAC Advisory Board, and the local UW Astronomy community, the Student Research Prize Program was successfully wrapped up for 2023 this August!
At the University of Washington, Ari Heinze and Siegfried Eggl (University of Illinois), developed a new version of an algorithm now called HelioLinc3D, which uses orbital physics to sort through millions of junk detections and find the real asteroids moving in a consistent way.
Earlier this month, a beautiful print issue of the UW Magazine featured DiRAC.
