U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Astrophysics of Supernovaeand Supernova Remnants

该奖项支持美国和中国天文学家之间的合作研究，他们将专注于超新星和超新星遗迹的研究。美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的Richard McCray博士和中国的PI南京大学的QQinyne博士制定了一项研究计划，以解决天文学的一个伟大主题：恒星的死亡如何对星系和宇宙的演化和生态做出贡献。这项研究将包括理论和数值模型的发展，以及将目前对超新星遗迹的观测与中国天文学家自公元1054年以来保存的古代历史记录进行比较。

This award supports collaborative research between US and Chinese astronomers who will focus on the study of supernovae and supernova remnants. The US principal investigator (PI), Dr. Richard McCray of the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Chinese PI, Dr. Qu Qinyne of Nanjing University, have defined a research plan to address one ofthe great themes of astronomy: how the deaths of stars contribute to the evolution and ecology of galaxies and the universe. The research will incorporate both development of theoretical and numerical models as well as comparison of current observations of supernova remnants with ancient historical records kept by Chinese astronomers since as early as 1054 AD.
