UArizona astronomers have joined an international effort to study the aftermath of the brightest flash of gamma rays ever observed. Observations involving UArizona telescopes and instruments provide astronomers with a "cosmic lab" to study how massive stars die.

Bhattacharya's research focuses on the molecular pathways involved in the degeneration of axons, the threadlike cell structures that are critical for neuronal communication.

As a sizable asteroid makes a close pass by Earth, a team of UArizona students is ready to observe the action to practice and test procedures that could be useful in mitigating an impending asteroid impact in the future.
