Corrigendum: “Gender Systematics in the NRAO Proposal Review System”(2021, PASP, 133, 115002)
In Hunt et al., we used the Anderson–Darling (AD) two-sample test to evaluate the probability that the observed linear rank distributions for female and male principal investigators are from the same parent sample. We determined the nominal AD p -value, ρ AD ( x , y ), where x and y are the female and male linear ranks, and estimated the uncertainty by calculating the mean and 68% confidence intervals from the AD p -value bootstrapped distributions, ρ AD boot . Since the p -value is a measure of probability, and the distribution of p -values is uniform, this method is not appropriate. Here we calculate ρ AD boot as the proportion of bootstrapped AD test statistics that are greater than or equal to the nominal AD test statistic. We find that the nominal and bootstrapped AD p -values are similar and therefore we do not recommend any changes to the conclusions in Hunt et al.

INAF Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory at 150
On 26 September 2019, the 150th anniversary of the first inauguration of the Observatory was celebrated at the Teatro del Cielo of the INAF- Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory. This article reconstructs the highlights of the event, which was attended by numerous representatives of political and scientific institutions. Following the welcome addresses of the institutional figures, the event focused on the inaugural speech given in 1869 by the Observatory’s founder and first director, Giovan Battista Donati.

The ghost in the telescope : stories from the Herschel Space Observatory
\"The Ghost in the Telescope is an insider's account of the Herschel Space Observatory, which was built to answer the questions of how the stars and galaxies were born. Written in an engaging manner for a general audience, the book tells the stories of the telescope itself, the discoveries it made, and the engineers and astronomers who made and used it. The book, based on the author's own experience and interviews with the key astronomers and engineers, tells the story of the mission, from its original concept on a piece of paper in Venice to the moment after the end of the mission when the engineers had to decide whether to crash the spacecraft into the Moon. Containing some of the most spectacular pictures ever taken of the universe, the book describes all the major discoveries made with the telescope. The book also gives an account, accessible to anyone without previous scientific knowledge, of the latest research into the births of stars and galaxies. The book should interest anyone who is curious about astronomy, space missions, and how astronomy is done in practice. It is designed to be easy to read and does not require any previous scientific background\"-- Provided by publisher.
