String Cosmology: Modern String Theory Concepts from the Big Bang to Cosmic Structure This relatively new field applies equations from string theory to solve the questions of early cosmology, since the standard picture of our universe emerging from a 'big bang' leaves many fundamental issues un...
Title: The Stellar Population of the Chamaeleon I Star-Forming Region Authors: K. L. Luhman (Penn State) I present a new census of the stellar population in the Chamaeleon I star-forming region. Using optical and near-IR photometry and follow-up spectroscopy, I have discovered 50 new members of...
Title: New insights into the Be/X-ray binary system MXB 0656-072 Authors: E. Nespoli, P. Reig, A. Zezas The X-ray transient MXB 0656-072 is a poorly studied member of high-mass X-ray binaries. Based on the transient nature of the X-ray emission, the detection of pulsations, and the early-type com...

Mathematicians come closer to solving Goldbach's weak conjecture Mathematician Terence Tao of the University of California, Los Angeles, has now inched toward a proof. He has shown that one can write odd numbers as sums of, at most, five primes - and he is hopeful about getting that down to three. B...
