[vsnet-chat 7285] Koji Mukai- The Interview

[Mike Simonsen]

The latest CVnet Interview with Koji Mukai is now online. Follow the links
from the CVnet home page:
http://cvnet.aavso.org

Koji is a PhD astronomer working for the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as
a USRA research scientist. One of his main interests is intermediate polars,
magnetic CVs that confound our attempts to understand them in many ways.
Even classifying which systems actually belong to the IP class creates some
controversy and disagreement among astronomers.

Koji has his own set of standards for inclusion in this subset of CVs, and
is known as 'The Curmudgeon' because of his strict interpretation of the
definition of this group of systems.

Fortunately, Koji is far from being a real curmudgeon, and has graciously
invested a good deal of time and effort into making this interview
interesting and informative.

We have also made some improvements to the CVnet website I hope you will
enjoy.

Regards,
Mike Simonsen
