Why Should I Stay? The Factors Influencing Student Affairs Professional\u27s Retention

This study investigates the factors influencing the retention of student affairs employees. It examines if role expectations, financial compensation, burnout and emotional investment, value and importance, and supervisor influence factor into student affairs professionals’ decision to remain in the field. This study found significant positive correlations exist between remaining in the field and clear role expectations, good financial compensation and benefits, and a healthy balance between work and life. Indicating, these factors could positively influence a student affairs professionals’ decision to remain in the field. These findings add to the research pertaining to the retention of student affairs professionals

Kilonova Emissions from Neutron Star Merger Remnants: Implications for Nuclear Equation of State

Multi-messenger observation of binary neutron-star mergers can provide valuable information on the nuclear equation of state (EoS). Here, we investigate to which extent electromagnetic observations of the associated kilonovae allow us to place constraints on the EoS. For this, we use state-of-the-art three-dimensional general-relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics simulations and detailed nucleosynthesis modeling to connect properties of observed light curves to properties of the accretion disk, and hence, the EoS. Using our general approach, we use multi-messenger observations of GW170817/AT2017gfo to study the impact of various sources of uncertainty on inferences of the EoS. We constrain the radius of a $\rm{1.4 M_\odot}$ neutron star to lie within $\rm{10.19\leq R_{1.4}\leq 13.0}$~km and the maximum mass to be $\rm{M_{TOV}\leq 3.06 M_\odot}$.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures.
