U.S.-China Cooperative Research (Astronomy): Hydrodynami- cal Process in Binary Star Systems

该奖项提供资金，以支持合作研究， 理论天体物理学的合作 美国西北大学的罗纳德·塔阿姆博士和 中国南京紫金山天文台将与 根据这项研究相互作用的双星星系统的授权， 已经被证明是充满活力的地方， 偶尔会有短暂的活动 具体来说，这项研究 将集中在薄吸积盘的动力学不稳定性。 这个项目是由美国国家科学基金会 与中国科学院根据《合作议定书》 1980年签署，1986年续签。

This award provides funds to support cooperative research in theoretical astrophysics between the United States and China. Dr. Ronald Taam of Northwestern University and Professor Wang Deyu of the Purple Mountain Observatory, Nanjing, China, will work together under this grant to investigate interacting binary star systems, which have been demonstrated to be sites of energetic and occasionally highly transient activiity. Specifically, this study will focus on dynamical instabilities in thin accretion disks. This project is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences under the Protocol on Cooperation in Basic Sciences signed in 1980 and renewed in 1986.
