We’re excited to report that Emeritus Professor Richard Durisen’s first published novel, a work of science fiction, is available on Amazon! The book is entitled “From the Shadows of the Landscape,” and the teaser reads “By the 37th Century, the Human Domain stretches hundreds of light years into the Milky Way Galaxy. Most occupants live long, rich, and untroubled lives—until something beckons from far beyond its edge.”
Graduate student Agustin Heron along with faculty member Cristobal Petrovich and collaborators recently published their work on substructures in planet forming disks based on high-resolution images from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). These images reveal that planet-forming disks are rich in substructures — rings, gaps, spirals, clumps, and bright crescent-shaped asymmetries. Many of these features are thought to signal young planets embedded in the disk.
IU Astronomy graduate students hosted the first Astronomy on Tap event of the year at The Orbit Room on February 11, 2026. With a Valentine’s Day theme, the event featured engaging talks by graduate students Tash Sandford and Katherine Barber that connected astronomy with the spirit of the holiday.
