Numerical Simulations of Ionized Nebulae and Their Spectra

该奖项旨在支持基础研究， 电离星云的天体物理学 费兰博士是 研究人员致力于辐射的数值模拟 转移在天体物理等离子体，他的代码已被用于 许多天文学家为了了解地球的物理条件 天体物理等离子体 这项研究将扩大他已经 在更全面理解所需的方向上的强大代码 类星体的宽线区域。

This award is in support of fundamental research into the astrophysics of ionized nebulae. Dr. Ferland is one of the leading investigators working on numerical simulations of radiative transfer in astrophysical plasmas, and his code has been used by many astronomers to understand the physical conditions in astrophysical plasmas. This research will extend his already powerful code in directions necessary for a fuller understanding of the broad line regions of quasars.
