Faculty Award for Women - Galaxy Formation and Evolution

康奈尔大学天文学系的玛莎·p·海恩斯博士获得了“女科学家和工程师学院奖”。美国国家科学基金会女科学家和工程师教师奖认可获奖者在教学和学术方面的高质量记录，以及对科学研究，学术专业和未来科学家教育的持续重大贡献的潜力。在接下来的五年里，研究将主要通过地面无线电和光学观测来关注星系的形成和演化是如何影响星系生存的环境的。特别有趣的是，星系的基本属性（质量、光度等）如何反映星系早期历史的条件，而不是后来由于演化过程而发生的变化。这笔拨款将用于扩大研究小组，特别是增加一名博士后研究助理和一名研究生，因为在过去十年的努力下，还有许多丰富的研究要做。在五年资助期即将结束时，将使用升级后的阿雷西博天文台无线电天线和新的100米绿岸望远镜进行早期观测。将尝试以前不可能进行的实验。

This Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers is made to Dr. Martha P. Haynes of the Department of Astronomy, Cornell University. The NSF Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers recognizes the high quality of the awardee's record in teaching and scholarship as well as the potential for continued significant contributions to scientific research, the academic profession, and the education of future scientists. During the next five years, the research will focus on how galaxy formation and evolution is affected the environment in which a galaxy lives, primarily through ground-based radio and optical observations. Of particular interest is how the fundamental properties of galaxies (mass, luminosity, etc.) reflect conditions early in a galaxy's history rather than later modifications due to evolutionary processes. The grant will be used to enlarge the research group, particularly with the addition of a postdoctoral research associate and an additional graduate student, as there is much fertile research to be done to follow through on the efforts of the last decade. Towards the end of the five year grant period, there will be early observations made with the upgraded Arecibo Observatory radio antenna and with the new 100m Green Bank Telescope. Experiments not previously possible will be attempted.
