Abstract We present the first results from a 100-day Swift, NICER, and ground-based X-ray–UV–optical reverberation mapping campaign of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335, when it was in an unprecedented low X-ray flux state. Despite dramatic suppression variability, we still observe UV–optical lags as expected disk reverberation. Moreover, are consistent with archival observations luminosity >10 times higher. Interestingly, both low- high-flux states reveal that 6–11 longer than thin disk....
This research focuses on the experiences of six undergraduate white women who are physics and astronomy majors. Specifically we conducted semistructured, empathetic interviews that reveal how uncomfortable environments inside outside classroom, which were often propagated by male instructors peers, excluded women. The give accounts behaviors their peers influenced culture. We use standpoint theory to focus provide a holistic perspective as well identify key issues these faced in program....
Abstract We analyze institutional data from large introductory calculus-based physics courses at a public research university in the US which students enrolled these majored engineering, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The was analyzed two that are required for most of they often considered “weed out” poor performance can severely hinder students’ long term career goal achievement. In particular, act as gatekeepers many those who do not perform to their satisfaction first time repeat...
The saying-is-believing effect is an important step for changing students' attitudes and beliefs in a wise intervention. However, most studies have not closely examined the process of when individuals are engaged activity. Using qualitative approach, present study uses engagement framework to investigate (a) components effect; (b) how differently students may engage exercise. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 undergraduates scholarship program low-income transfer from...

Concepts involving conductors and insulators are challenging at all levels of instruction. Here, we summarized an investigation the difficulties that introductory students have pertaining to charging how research was used as a resource develop, validate, evaluate conceptual tutorial on this topic. The uses guided inquiry-based teaching–learning sequences focuses helping develop understanding using concrete examples. At large university in US, first evaluated whether there any statistically...
This research focuses on the experiences of seven undergraduate women who were majoring in physics a medium-size department at small liberal arts college. In semistructured, empathetic interviews we conducted, discussed how they decided to major physics, their interactions with peers and instructors, supported them during trajectory. We used Standpoint Theory focused get holistic perspective became interested have been journey, as well identify any challenges that faced program due identity....
We present comparative case study of three physics department culture from different institutions using the experiences undergraduate women. The studies conducted in United States include Johnson's 2020 a small at predominantly White liberal arts college, Santana and Singh's 2023 large research institution, 2024 medium-sized private college. Using synergistic frameworks such as Standpoint Theory, Domains Power, Holistic Ecosystem for Learning Physics an Inclusive Equitable Environment...
This research focuses on the experiences of seven undergraduate women who were majoring in physics at a small liberal arts college. In semi-structured, empathetic interviews we conducted, discuss how they decided to major physics, their interactions with peers and instructors, has supported them during trajectory, suggestions that would improve physics. We use Standpoint Theory focus get holistic perspective became interested have been journey as well identify any challenges faced program...
