Radio Observations of Compact Symmetric Objects Shed New Light on Black Hole Phenomenon

Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs) harbor supermassive black holes that emit powerful jets traveling at near-light speeds in opposite directions. However, unlike their counterparts in other galaxies, these jets remain compact, not extending out to great distances as expected. For decades, scientists presumed that CSOs were youthful entities, with their jets destined to expand over time. New findings, published in three papers in The Astrophysical Journal, challenge this notion.

NRAO and SpaceX Coordinate to Protect Radio Astronomy

Supported by the National Science Foundation, NRAO and SpaceX are developing a system called Operational Data Sharing (ODS) that provides the current status (position in the sky and observing frequency) of two of its telescopes: the VLA in New Mexico and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia.

Woodstar Labs Welcomes New Wave of Cyber Analysts

Woodstar Labs, a subsidiary of AUI focused on cutting-edge-cybersecurity solutions, microelectronics, eLearning, and STEM education welcomes a new cohort of Cyber Analysts. Woodstar labs is excited to work with this talented group of young professionals as we continue to expand our capabilities and initiatives.

Brendon Shao

Brendon is our newest team member who joined Woodstar Labs in late April 2020. He has been contributing to the creation of internal processes and website development. He will also be working with the team to advance CMMC requirements and controls. He anticipates graduating from George Mason University with a B.S. in Cyber Security Engineering and a minor in Data Analysis in Spring 2022.

Melody Jackson

Melody joined Woodstar Labs in March 2020 where her primary focus has been on Elasticsearch and Microsoft Power Automate. She has been instrumental in creating workflows and automating processes in the company. She anticipates graduating from George Mason University with a B.S. in Cyber Security Engineering in Spring 2022.

Ian Russell

Ian joined Woodstar Labs in early January 2020. He has focused on external network data collection and Python-based automation solutions. He has significantly contributed to Woodstar Labs data collection and aggregation processes. He anticipates graduating from George Mason University with a B.S. in Cyber Security Engineering in Spring 2022.
