Rutgers Astrophysics Journal Club

Spring 2006 Schedule

Coordinator: Neelima Sehgal

*** Graduate students: Order your FREE lunch here ***

    Look here for a list of classic astronomy (theory) papers as an idea for your journal club article.
Additionally, check out the NASA Astrophysics Data System to search for refereed articles
(at the bottom there is an option to sort by citations, if that is your wish).

The Astrophysics Journal Club is held Wednesdays at 12:00 PM in Serin Physics Rm. 112 , for the Spring of 2006.
