TL;DR: Gender equity is one of the biggest issues facing the field of astronomy and there is broad interest in addressing gender disparities within astronomy Many studies of these topics have been performed by professional astronomers who are relatively unfamiliar with research in fields such as gender studies and sociology as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the optical configuration of LBTI's Fizeau mode and their strategy for commissioning this observing mode and aim to maximize the science return.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate turbulent gas motions in spiral galaxies and their importance to star formation in far outer disks, where the column density is typically far below the critical value for spontaneous gravitational collapse.

TL;DR: In this article, probability density functions and higher order (skewness and kurtosis) analyses of the galaxy-wide and spatially-resolved HI column density distributions in the LITTLE THINGS sample of dwarf irregular galaxies were presented.
