 Student Ashley Disbrow presents her work at the 2014 American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, DC.  Student Emma Wadley created the installation art, titled Void (2016), shown above. Her artist statement includes this description: "I have used black paper to represent fear through the colour associated with death, shadows and the deepest nights ... The addition of light creates an eerie iridescence and the soundscape aims to unnerve and intrigue through otherworldly noise of Gravitational waves and the Mariana Trench." 2018Dark Energy in light of Multi-Messenger Gravitational-Wave astronomyJose MarĂa Ezquiaga, Miguel ZumalacárreguiarXiv:1807.09241 Observational evidence of the central engine to GRB170817AMaurice H.P.M. van PuttenarXiv:1806.02165 Constraining the nuclear equation of state with GW170817Soumi De, Daniel Finstad, James M.
