A team from Georgia State University has garnered a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad grant from the U.S. Department of Education for a four-week seminar next summer, where Georgia State will take 16 educators and students in the humanities and social sciences to study Afro-Brazilian culture.

Participants will travel to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, where they will study Portuguese, and learn about the culture, art, history, politics, and community of Afro-Brazilians. Activities will include lectures, seminars, cultural events, and culturally relevant excursions to become fully immersed in the culture of Salvador da Bahia, located in a country that has the second largest population of Black people outside of the African continent.

Georgia State’s CHARA Array Detects Elusive, Dusty Inner Region of Distant Galaxy

Georgia State’s CHARA Array Detects Elusive, Dusty Inner Region of Distant Galaxy

An international team of scientists has achieved the milestone of directly observing the long-sought, innermost dusty ring around a supermassive black hole, at a right angle to its emerging jet. Such a structure was thought to exist in the nucleus of galaxies but had been difficult to observe directly because intervening material obscured our line of sight.

Now the inner disk is detected using the highest spatial resolution in the infrared wavelengths ever done for an extragalactic object. The new discovery was just published in The Astrophysical Journal.
