Radio Investigations of the Galactic Center Region

加州大学洛杉矶分校的马克·莫里斯博士将对我们银河系的核心进行无线电波长的观测研究。在几年的超大阵列观测中，PI和他的同事们收集了大量关于银河系中心的数据，他们有了一些发现，这些发现突出了银河系内部区域强磁场的重要性。他们目前的研究继续这些研究，通过密集的计算工作来实现现有数据库的全部潜力，并通过新的观察来澄清造成独特观察到的现象的物理过程。银河中心提供了一个适度活跃的星系核的特写例子。因此，它可以为我们提供新的见解，这些过程也发生在更活跃的塞弗特和类星体现象中。有了新的仪器，如甚大阵列和新的数据分析能力，如超级计算机上的图像处理，我们能够以前所未有的细节研究银河系中心的结构。莫里斯博士在完善我们对银河系中心的认识方面一直处于领先地位。

Dr. Mark Morris, at the University of California, Los Angeles, will carry out observational research on the nucleus of our Galaxy at radio wavelengths. During several years of observing with the Very Large Array, the PI and his colleagues have gathered a very extensive body of data on the Galactic Center, and they have made several discoveries which highlight the importance of strong magnetic fields in the inner regions of the Galaxy. Their current research continues these studies with intensive computational work to realize the full potential of the existing data base and with new observations to clarify the physical processes responsible for the unique observed phenomenology. The Galactic Center provides a close-up example of a moderately active galactic nucleus. As such it can be expected to give us new insights into processes which also occur in the more active Seyfert and quasar phenomena. With new instrumentation such as the Very Large Array and new data analysis capabilities such as image processing on supercomputers, we are able to study the structure of the center of our Galaxy in unprecedented detail. Dr. Morris has been a leader in refining our knowledge about the Galactic Center.
