Want to make your own rainbow?

At PriSM 09: Getting Personal with Rainbows, you’ll use prisms, lasers, water drops, and mist to see how rainbows really form and test the theory yourself.

I have started to maintain a newsletter called 'Todays Research Minutes'' where I am writing short summaries of my state-of-the-art research in astrophysics based on daily arXiv: https://t.co/b7f9VeVUmE
Happy to hear any comments/suggestions.

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@Kaju_Nut Faced it..can't agree more. The expert comments and consolidated comments phase shifted completely.

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@Yo320 It was a nice read. I have written a summary which you can find here: https://t.co/KuEeDFLgEv

@Yo320 Fig. 2 is quite interesting.

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@GRraytracing Great!

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@Yo320 Congratulations 👏

[Rajeev Raghavan @LabRajeev]

The @ANRFIndia #NPDF evaluations + recommendations are nothing short of a joke! Here is an example of a proposal that received positive feedback, but NOT recommended! No transparency on criteria for recommended proposals + no list of recommended proposals. A BIG BLACK HOLE

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@GRraytracing How's the conference at Jeju?

[Phil Armitage @philip_armitage]

New paper! In work led by Hannalore Gerling-Dunsmore, we show that magnetic fields generated self-consistently via the magnetorotational instability stabilize AGN accretion disks against self-gravity and fragmentation. (1/2)

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@astro_magnetism Wow!

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@GRraytracing Congratulations 🎉

[Samik Mitra @SamikMitra10]

@Yo320 Enjoyed reading it.
The idea of introducing \alpha is really making the picture completely different. This is what we all were missing, although it was always in front of us.
