Congratulations to CIERA’s Raffaella Margutti, recipient of a prestigious Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation. Prof. Margutti studies the biggest explosions and disruptions in the universe, including supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, compact stellar mergers and tidal disruption events. Margutti will use the award for research, education, and public outreach initiatives,
Joining the “Gravity & the Extreme Universe” program, assistant professor Raffaella Margutti has been named by CIFAR one of 14 international early-career researchers with exceptional promise. CIFAR is a Canadian-based global charitable organization that “convenes extraordinary minds to address the most important questions facing science and humanity.” Professor Margutti will receive a two-year term in
American Astronomical Society Publishing announced their top-cited papers from 2018, including an electromagnetic observation paper led by Professor Raffaella Margutti. Overall, the AAS journals published more than 4,400 research papers which have gathered over 10,700 citations so far. Margutti’s paper reports observations of the binary neutron star event GW170817. Read it here: The Binary Neutron
Three Northwestern University faculty members — mathematician Bao Le Hung, astrophysicist Raffaella Margutti and biomedical engineer Jonathan Rivnay — each have been awarded a prestigious 2019 Sloan Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The three are among 126 outstanding early-career scholars being recognized for their achievements and potential to contribute substantially to their scientific fields. This
“For many astronomers, 2018 will be remembered as the Year of the Cow — after the nickname of a spectacular stellar explosion that has kept them busy for months. The unusual event has offered an unprecedented window on to the collapse of a star, two teams of researchers suggest in papers submitted to the arXiv

“Astronomers using telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) studied a cataclysmic stellar explosion known as a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, and found its enduring “afterglow.” The rebound, or reverse shock, triggered by the GRB’s powerful outflows slamming into surrounding debris, lasted thousands of times longer than expected. These observations
Northwestern has issued a press release, Astronomers discover ‘heavy metal’ supernova rocking out: First clear evidence of a metal-rich birthplace for a superluminous supernova, which begins: “Many rock stars don’t like to play by the rules, and a cosmic one is no exception. A team of astronomers, including Northwestern University’s Raffaella Margutti, has discovered that an extraordinarily
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has issued a press release, NuSTAR Finds New Clues to ‘Chameleon Supernova’, which begins: “We’re made of star stuff,” astronomer Carl Sagan famously said. Nuclear reactions that happened in ancient stars generated much of the material that makes up our bodies, our planet and our solar system. When stars explode in violent
As part of a 5-year faculty expansion initiative in the Physics & Astronomy Department, Dr. Raffaella Margutti, an expert on supernovae, has joined Northwestern as an assistant professor. Dr. Margutti was previously a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard’s Institute for Theory and Computation. At CIERA, Dr. Margutti’s group will work with broad-band observations (from X-rays to
