Design of Infrared Array Camera for Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT Observatory

妇女研究机会计划下的规划补助金 该计划将协助主要研究者，其经验 一直在高能物理仪器，开关， 她对红外天文学的研究 她会开始 1.3米和2.4米红外阵列相机的设计 米望远镜，由密歇根州，达特茅斯， 马萨诸塞州理工学院。 相机， 在1-2.5微米区域内操作，将用于研究非常 低质量的恒星，在星系形成的过程中， 形成，并研究活跃星系的核。

This planning grant under the Research Opportunities for Women program will assist the Principal Investigator, whose experience has been in instrumentation for high energy physics, in switching her research activities into infrared astronomy. She will begin the design of an infrared array camera for the 1.3 meter and 2.4 meter telescopes, operated jointly by Michigan, Dartmouth, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The camera, operating in the 1-2.5 micron region, would be used to study very low mass stars, to search for galaxies in the process of formation, and to study the nuclei of active galaxies.
