APSELL Senior Executive Producer, NOVA, and Director, WGBH Science Unit, WGBH Boston Paula Apsell began her work in broadcast typing the public broadcaster WGBH Boston’s daily logs, a job, she notes, that is now mercifully automated. While at WGBH-FM, her next move, she developed the award-winning children’s drama series The Spider’s Web and served as an on-air radio news producer. She then joined WGBH’s pioneering science documentary series NOVA, producing, among several other programs, Death of a Disease, the first long-form documentary about the worldwide eradication of smallpox. Moving to WCVB, the ABC affiliate in Boston, she became senior producer for medical programming, working with Dr. Timothy Johnson. She then spent a year at MIT as a Knight Science Journalism Fellow until she took over the leadership of NOVA, where she is now senior executive producer and director of the WGBH Science Unit. In 2016, Apsell became the second woman and first from the profession of journalism and communications to receive the Galien Foundation’s annual Pro Bono Humanum Award, which recognizes contributions leading to improvements in the state of human health. She is also a recipient of the Bradford Washburn Award from the Museum of Science, Boston; the Carl Sagan Award, given by the Council of Scientific Society Presidents; the American Institute of Physics Andrew Gemant Award; and the Planetary Society’s Cosmos Award, among many others.

  • Gravity's Reverb: Listening to Space-Time, Or Articulating The
    GRAVITY’S REVERB: Listening to Space-Time, or Articulating the Sounds of Gravitational-Wave Detection STEFAN HELMREICH Massachusetts Institute of Technology http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0859-5881 I heard gravitational waves before they were detected.1 I was sitting in a pub in May 2015 with MIT physicists Scott Hughes and David Kaiser, my headphones looped into a laptop. Hughes was readying to play us some interstellar sounds: digital audio files, he explained, that were sonic simulations of what gravitational waves might sound like if, one day, such cosmic undulations arrived at detection devices on Earth. Gravitational waves are tiny but consequential wriggles in space-time, first theorized by Einstein in 1916— vibrations generated, for example, by such colossal events as the collision of black holes or the detonation of supernovae. Listening to Hughes’s .wav representations of black holes spiraling into one another, I heard washing-machine whirs, Ther- emin-like glissandos, and cybernetic chirps—noises reminiscent, I mused, of mid- twentieth century sci-fi movies (see Taylor 2001 on space-age music). Audio 1. Circular inspiral, spin 35.94% of maximum, orbital plane 0Њ,0Њ viewing angle. Created by Pei-Lan Hsu, using code written by Scott Hughes. Audio 2. Generic inspiral, eccentricity e = 0.7, inclination i =25Њ. Created by Pei-Lan Hsu, using code written by Scott Hughes.

DOI: 10.14506/ca31.4.02 GRAVITY’S REVERB These were sounds that, as it turned out, had a family resemblance to the actual detection signal that, come February 2016, would be made public by astronomers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), an MIT-Caltech astronomy collaboration anchored at two massive an- tennae complexes, one in Hanford, Washington, another in Livingston, Louisiana.

    Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space Author: Janna Levin Publishing Date: March 29, 2016 Available as audio-book also This book explains what it takes to win a Nobel Prize. It all goes back to Einstein’s general relativity published already in 1916 predicting gravitational waves, later mathematically supported by Schwarzschild’s solution for the collapsing of black holes. The author Janna Levin published her book in 2016, right at the time the announcement of the first direct observation of gravitational waves with a billion $ expensive equipment called LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), and a year before Rainer (Rai) Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish received the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics. The LIGO observatory is described as an unbelievable sensitive arrangement of measuring equipment being capable “to measure a change in distance comparable to less than a human hair relative to 100 billion times of the circumference of the world” (10-23 strain). Being a Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Janna Levin had first hand access to the scientists to describe their endeavor from the very beginning in the 1960’s and to illustrate their astonishing and fascinating backgrounds, their life-long struggles, trials and tribulations to contribute their share to cosmological science – and as it turned out, it was not straightforward at all, but finally was honored by the Nobel Prize. Jana Levin wrote this book “at the eve of success” being published on March 29th , 2016 not knowing of the first official announcement of a gravitational wave detection on February 11th 2016, which makes the charm of the book because the author herself believed in the success of the experiment despite almost unsurmountable precision an analytical requirements.

  • Penrose Process for a Charged Black Hole in a Uniform Magnetic Field
    Penrose process for a charged black hole in a uniform magnetic field Kshitij Gupta1, Y.T. Albert Law1, and Janna Levin2 1Department of Physics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, Barnard College of Columbia University, New York, NY 10027 Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Spinning black holes create electromagnetic storms when immersed in ambient mag- netic fields, illuminating the otherwise epically dark terrain. In an electromagnetic extension of the Penrose process, tremendous energy can be extracted, boosting the energy of radiating particles far more efficiently than the mechanical Penrose process. We locate the regions from which energy can be mined and demonstrate explicitly that they are no longer restricted to the ergosphere. We also show that there can be toroidal regions that trap negative energy particles in orbit around the black hole. We find that the effective charge coupling between the black hole and the super-radiant particles decreases as energy is extracted, much like the spin of a black hole decreases in the mechanical analogue. While the effective coupling decreases, the actual charge of the black hole increases in magnitude reaching the energetically-favored Wald value, arXiv:2106.15010v2 [gr-qc] 29 Aug 2021 at which point energy extraction is impeded. We demonstrate the array of orbits for products from the electromagnetic Penrose process.
