The Haystack Observatory as an REU Site for Astronomy and Atmospheric Science Using Radio Techniques

麻省理工学院的干草堆天文台在马萨诸塞州韦斯特福德拥有独特的设施，在射电天文学和大气科学方面开展强有力的研究计划。天文台在全国范围内被大量研究人员和学生使用，主要用于研究生教育。这里的重点是针对本科生的暑期研究机会计划，作为首席调查员1988年REU计划的延续和扩展。在和1990年期间，国际学生联合会请求资助9名学生。射电天文学和大气科学方面的研究项目将辅之以一系列每周一次的研讨会、设施参观、研究讨论会议以及最后报告的编写和介绍。该计划旨在促进学生对研究功能的全面欣赏，以培养对天文研究的兴趣，并促进学生对科学、工程和数学职业的兴趣。希望招聘和遴选过程将鼓励妇女、少数群体和残疾学生的申请。

The Haystack Observatory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, carries out vigorous research programs in radio astronomy and atmospheric sciences, with its unique facilities in Westford, MA. The Observatory is used by a large number of researchers and students, nationally, primarily in graduate education. The emphasis here is on a summer research opportunities program for undergraduates as a continuation and expansion of the Principal Investigators' 1988 REU programs. The PI requests funds for the support of nine students during 1989 and 1990. Research projects in radio astronomy and atmospheric sciences will be supplemented by a series of weekly seminars, facility tours, meetings on research discussions, and final report preparations and presentations. The program is aimed at promoting in the students an appreciation for the full scope of research functions in order to develop excitement in astronomical research and to contribute to student interest in careers in science, engineering and mathematics. It is hoped that the recruitment and selection processes will encourage applications by women, minorities and handicapped students.
