UWM ASTRONOMER HELPS FIND COSMIC SEARCHLIGHT NEW FAST RADIO BURST DISCOVERY FINDS ‘MISSING MATTER’ IN THE UNIVERSE

An international team of scientists using a combination of radio and optical telescopes has for the first time managed to identify the location of a fast radio burst, allowing them to confirm the current cosmological model of the distribution of matter in the universe.

On April 18, 2015, a fast radio burst (FRB) was detected by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)’s 64-m Parkes radio telescope in Australia. An international alert was triggered to follow it up with other telescopes and within a few hours, a number of telescopes around the world had found the signal, allowing astronomers to determine the location, and ultimately the distance, to the source.

FRBs are mysterious bright radio flashes generally lasting only a few milliseconds. Their origin is still unknown, with a long list of potential phenomena associated with them. FRBs are very difficult to detect; before this discovery only 16 had been detected in the decade since they were first seen.

“In the past FRBs have been found by sifting through data months or even years later. By that time it is too late to do follow up observations,” said Evan Keane, Project Scientist at the Square Kilometre Array Organization and the lead scientist behind the study. To remedy this, the team developed its own observing system to detect FRBs within seconds, and to immediately alert other telescopes, when there is still time to search for more evidence in the aftermath of the initial flash.

David Kaplan, an astronomer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, is a

member of the team that searched through data from other telescopes and also helped interpret the data to form a more comprehensive picture of this mysterious event.

“We’ve been able to locate the object and determine its distance – several billion light-years away,” Kaplan said. “That’s important because the nature of the radio signals from FRBs indicate how much material they’ve gone through.

“Most of the gas in the universe isn’t in galaxies. Instead, it lies between them in the ‘intergalactic medium.’ Knowing the distance to this object lets us take a ‘census’ of the intergalactic medium in a way that hasn’t been possible before.”

In the current model, the universe is believed to be made of 70% dark energy, 25% dark matter and 5% “ordinary’ matter,” the matter that makes up everything we see.

However, through observations of stars, galaxies and hydrogen, astronomers have only been able to account for about half of the ordinary matter, the rest could not be seen directly and so has been referred to as “missing.”

“The good news is our observations and the model match, we have found the missing matter,” Keane said. “It’s the first time a fast radio burst has been used to conduct a cosmological measurement.”

In the future, the Square Kilometre Array, with its extreme sensitivity, resolution and wide field of view is expected to be able to detect hundreds of FRBs and to pinpoint their host galaxies. A much larger sample will enable precision measurements of cosmological parameters such as the distribution of matter in the universe, and provide a refined understanding of dark energy. uwm.edu/news

‘CORKTOWN’ EXPLORES GENTRIFICATION IN DETROIT AND MILWAUKEE

By Kathy Quirk In preparing for “Corktown,” a play about gentrification set in Detroit’s oldest surviving neighborhood, the director, set designers and a group of artists visited an old coke fuel plant near Milwaukee’s inner harbor.

On their most recent visit, the group learned the building was going to be razed and replaced with condos, according to Rebecca Holderness, director of “Corktown” and associate professor of acting in the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts.

That change reflected the ideas explored in the play, March 2-6 at the UWM Mainstage Theatre, as well as influencing the aesthetic for the production’s set and set dressings. A collaboration of graffiti murals by artist James Tomasello, TRUE Skool art director, and his students, along with UWM community art students of Senior Lecturer Raoul Deal, will be displayed in the theater to transport the audience to “Corktown.”

Written by Jeff Augustin, “Corktown” explores the impact of gentrification in a neighborhood that is half as old as the city itself. Parallels with Milwaukee are obvious.

UWM art students collaborate in ‘Corktown’ production “The subject is the push and pull within a community – the downturns and upturns, the transformation of different neighborhoods,” Holderness said.

UWM’s production goes beyond the play to encourage the Milwaukee community to explore the impact of change – positive and negative.

Deal, coordinator of the Community Arts BA program, focused his Introduction to Community Arts class in the fall semester on art and gentrification. UWM students worked with high school artists from TRUE Skool, which uses urban arts to engage young people in social justice, community service and civic engagement.

“Corktown” is a good fit for UWM actors because it focuses on a diverse group of young people coming of age in the neighborhood, Holderness said.

One of the young characters is a young graffiti artist who is featured in a new gallery taking advantage of inexpensive gallery space in the downtrodden neighborhood, sparking more artists to move into the neighborhood and attracting the interest of developers.

“As the artists move in, the neighborhood becomes more attractive to developers, but their interests are not always aligned with the concerns of neighbors,” Deal said.

The play doesn’t take a position on gentrification. “It encourages the viewer to think about the original history and beauty of a particular community and why it’s important to preserve that,” Holderness said.

Using art as a vehicle to foster conversations about – and find sustainable solutions to social challenges – is part of Peck School of the Arts’ core mission, according to Holderness.

“I think that for us to reach out to TRUE Skool and collaborate with them through Raoul’s class, then work with a new playwright and even commission some new art from a Milwaukee-based artist, all affirms this idea that we are part of Milwaukee. It also affirms that we are a place where a wide diversity of students and artists can find education and expression. It reflects the city and invites the city in,” Holderness said The exploration of this theme will continue in UWM Theatre’s next Mainstage Theatre production, “Hot L Baltimore.” Opening April 27 and directed by Bill Watson, professor of theater, “Hot L Baltimore” explores the impact of gentrification on a collection of down-and-out misfits in a rundown hotel in Baltimore http://uwm.edu/news

Why

Daily Should

Newspapers NOT

Be

On

The Decline

News flash! Daily newspapers should have many years before they are a dinosaur.

It will not be before the internet is a well organized machine before there will be a problem. And, that does not look to be any time in the near future.

Newspaper outsiders generally don’t understand how they work and, therefore, are announcing there death prematurely.

But, many dailies are struggling you say. True enough. It is because the leaders of these companies are married to the idea of what they think a newspaper should be and are pitting their weakness against the strength of the internet, television, cable news etc. By the time the daily gets its news to the reader, it is so antiquated that there is cobwebs growing on it.

The strength of the newspaper is that it is clear and targeted. The internet and other inexpensive media resources are a muddy mess. Not many advertisers trust that a site outside of their own is reaching anyone of significance.

Newspapers are an advertising delivery system. This is their primary purpose as a profitable business. Journalists can believe whatever high minded, fairy tale they want, but it is advertising that keeps the doors open.

The way to keep potential advertising customers glued to a publication is not by recycling the same thing they heard, saw and consumed over the last twelve or more hours, but by presenting something that is new and thought provoking. In simple terms, they cannot compete on current news and shouldn’t try.

There is an infinite amount of information that is so awe inspiring that it will keep the readers waiting with great anticipation as the current issue is being delivered. It is up to the newspaper to let their audience know that they have changed direction dramatically… but that it is a good new direction.

Readers will never tire of stories on how to improve their health, save money, etc.

Newspapers have to remember that their primary purpose to be in business is to stay in business and that they have a huge advantage over inexpensive media such as the internet because these media are currently hard to navigate when it comes to located a local product or sale.

Leah Holmes has been named the Alfreeda Goff Athlete of the Year for the track and field indoor season, the Horizon League office announced Friday.

For Milwaukee, this marks the seventh indoor league athlete of the year award in the last 12 years and the first since Simbi Laaro did so in 2014. It is also the 14th athlete of the year award for Milwaukee in the Horizon League between the men and the women, indoor and outdoor.

This continues the incredible season for Holmes, who was crowned league athlete of the year and conference champion in cross country in early November.

“This is an awesome honor for Leah and she is completely deserving of this,” Milwaukee head coach Pete Corfeld said. “Ever since she won cross country this fall, that has been a total confidence boost for her to go after any race – no matter the distance – and that has shown in her results.

“She’s a program maker. It’s great that she is realizing her potential, especially in our program. We are incredibly proud of her and are excited to see her continue to grow.”

Holmes has dominated in every event she has competed in at every meet this season.

The junior has finished first or second in all but one event so far this year and is ranked first in the Horizon League in the mile, second in the 800m and third in the 3000k despite this being her first indoor collegiate 3k.

On top of that, all of those times are new personal records and rank in the top10 in Milwaukee program history, with the mile time checking in second all time in Panther history.

She has also helped the Milwaukee DMR team post the fastest time in the league this season at 11:56.36. That time also ranks second in school history and just outside the top-100 in the nation.

The Horizon League Track Athlete of the Year Award was remaned to the Alfreeda Goff Athlete of the Year Award this offseason in honor of former Horizon League senior associate commissioner Alfreeda Goff. Goff, who worked at the Horizon League for 16 years, is one of the most recognized administrators in intercollegiate athletics. Before moving into athletic administration, Goff served as the track and field coach at the University of Pittsburgh. She currently sits on the advisory board for the Bowerman Award, the highest accolade given of the year’s best student-athlete in American collegiate track and field.

Milwaukee returns to the track this weekend, heading to Youngstown, Ohio for the Horizon League Indoor Championships, starting Saturday.

sports<<page 1 lection that season.

He was one of the faces of the team that went to the NCAA’s, helping the Panthers get there after being named MVP of the Horizon League Championship. He averaged 20.5 points in the four games.

“I am thankful for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to meeting and working with everyone,” Aaron said in a press release through the team website. “I can’t wait to represent the Worcester Wolves.”

Halversons Close Out Career On Top AT LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS mkepanthers.com Twin brothers Tim Halverson and Nic Halverson finished first and second in the same event for a memorable moment for the Milwaukee men’s swimming and diving team to close out the 2016 Horizon League Championships Saturday at the Oakland University Aquatic Center.

Milwaukee finished the four-day meet with 382.5 points for fifth place overall and just behind UIC (399) for fourth. Host Oakland won the meet with 840 points, with Cleveland State (597.5) and Wright State (585) the closest behind. Green Bay (366) and Valparaiso (153) rounded out this year’s scoring.

“Unfortunately, we had DQ in the 800 free relay on the first night and that got us in a little bit of a funk that we just couldn’t quite get out of the rest of the meet,” Milwaukee head coach Kyle Clements said. “The team showed its fight and you saw some depth and a lot of different people scoring points. We’re a very talented team with different people in different events, and that showed throughout the week.

“We graduate a talented group of seniors, but we have people on our league roster and our Midwest roster – not to mention our incoming recruits – that will continue to help this program grow.”

The Halverson twins led the off the night with a memorable race in the mile. Tim (15:43.03) was able to just edge out Nic (15:46.47) down the stretch for the league title with the two brothers taking first and second for Milwaukee in the 1650 free.

“It means a lot,” Tim said of being able to finish his career 1-2 with his brother.

“Throughout high school we were always 1-2, and we finished our high school season 1-2 in the 500, as well. It means a lot. He’s a great training partner. He’s been swimming longer than I have, so it was nice to be with him until the end.”

UWM wasn’t done there. Freshman Zach Kishpaugh finished fifth overall despite not swimming in the evening’s fast heat of the timed final, clocking in with a seasonbest time of 16:00.79. Max Gatzke – last year’s league champ in the mile – finished ninth overall in 16:08.12.

Freshman Jacob Barson continued his impressive showing against the best in the league, taking seventh in the 200 breast with a finals time of 2:02.60.

In the 200 butterfly, Ryan Menninga won the consolation final with an impressive time of 1:50.54, breaking his own freshman record. Yevgeniy Foster came in 14th in 1:53.55 and Anthony Kolbus was 16th in 1:54.82 as Milwaukee showed its depth in the event.

Nick Menninga led the way for UWM in the 100 free. The junior touched the wall in 45.52 for 10th place overall on the day.

In the final event of the night, the Panthers turned in yet another strong showing all the way to the end. T. Halverson, Tanner Nimke, Erik Wahlgren and N. Menninga combined to take third in the 400 free relay with a season-best time of 3:02.51.
