Dr. Wyse at the Johns Hopkins University will use this award to investigate the present day kinematics and distribution of chemical elements of the stars of our Milky Way Galaxy. Dr. Wyse is adopting a new and promising observational technique for this work, which will be done primarily with the four meter diameter Anglo-Australian Telescope. Our Galaxy offers a unique opportunity for addressing fundamental problems in the areas of galaxy formation and evolution, through the development and analysis of detailed models of its three dimensional structure. Dr. Wyse's theoretical modeling of her new observational results will provide new insight into the shape and scale of the gravitational potential of the Galaxy and into the course of evolution of the Galaxy.

约翰·霍普金斯大学的怀斯博士将利用该奖项来研究银河系恒星的现代运动学和化学元素分布。 Wyse 博士在这项工作中采用了一种新的、有前途的观测技术，该技术将主要使用四米直径的英澳望远镜来完成。 我们的银河系通过开发和分析其三维结构的详细模型，为解决星系形成和演化领域的基本问题提供了独特的机会。 怀斯博士对其新观测结果的理论模型将为银河系引力势的形状和规模以及银河系的演化过程提供新的见解。
