Astrophysics Journal Club at N.C. State University
Welcome to the home page for the Astrophysics Journal Club. As of Fall 2009, we are meeting on Thursdays at 3:00 pm, in Riddick 400P. Our meetings are public and anyone with an interest in astronomy and astrophysics is welcome to attend. Each week, we select a recently published article from the scientific literature and discuss the paper and its findings. One person is in charge of leading the discussion, but our format is more of an open forum than a lecture. The presenter for each week chooses the journal paper for that week's meeting. Individual pages for each week are below, complete with a schedule of who will be presenting that week.
