“Observations of Fast Radio Bursts at Frequencies Down to 400 Megahertz” and “A Second Source of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts”
Nature, vol. 566, no. 7743, 14 February 2019, 230-234 and Nature, vol. 566, no. 7743, 14 February 2019, 235-238, respectively.

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), located at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton, BC, is the newest and largest radio telescope in Canada and one of the largest in the world. UBCO scientists and their collaborators across Canada and around the world are using CHIME to unlock the mysteries of dark energy in the universe, magnetic fields in our Milky Way Galaxy, and fast radio bursts. As of 2020, CHIME has now discovered most of the known fast radio bursts and is providing many clues to help us understand the origin of these enigmatic events.

Dr Alex S. Hill is an astronomer who joined the faculty at UBC Okanagan in 2019. After completing his PhD in Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011, he held research positions at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s Australia Telescope National Facility in Sydney, at Haverford College near Philadelphia, and at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton, BC. His research focuses on gas and magnetic fields between the stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Dr Tom Landecker holds Adjunct appointments at the University of Calgary (Physics and Astronomy), the University of British Columbia Okanagan (Physics and Engineering), and the University of Sydney (Physics). He was Principal Research Officer in the Radio Astronomy Program of NRC-Herzberg until his retirement in January 2014. Since his retirement, he has continued his research in astronomy and the engineering of radio telescopes.

UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project
The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
The UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO’s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.
Artwork and other images that are a part of this project are displayed solely for educational purposes.
