Faculty Award for Women - Galaxy Formation and Evolution

女科学家和工程师学院奖是为了 康奈尔大学天文系的玛莎·P·海恩斯博士 大学 美国国家科学基金会女科学家学院奖， 工程师们认可获奖者在以下方面的高质量记录： 教学和奖学金以及继续发展的潜力 对科学研究的重大贡献，学术 专业，以及未来科学家的教育。 在接下来的五年里，研究将集中在星系如何 它的形成和演化受到环境的影响， 星系的生命，主要是通过地面无线电和光学 意见。 特别令人感兴趣的是 星系的性质（质量、光度等）反映 在星系历史的早期而不是之后 由于进化过程的变化。 这笔赠款将用于扩大研究小组， 特别是加上博士后研究， 助理和一个额外的研究生，因为有很多 要做的丰富的研究，以贯彻的努力， 过去十年。 在五年资助期即将结束时， 升级后的阿雷西博将进行早期观测 天文台无线电天线和新的100米绿色银行 望远镜 以前不可能的实验将在 企图。

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.
