Star Formation in Spiral Galaxies

该奖项是一项研究计划拨款，旨在研究大质量恒星形成对螺旋星系盘区和核区的影响。射电和光学观测将被用来研究一些“热点”星系。布拉哈博士一直非常积极地培养优秀的学生，让他们继续从事天文学方面的研究生工作，这笔拨款既可以加深对恒星形成过程的了解，也可以为学生提供参与这项令人兴奋的研究的机会。

This award is a research planning grant to study impact of massive star formation on the disk and nuclear regions of spiral galaxies. Both radio and optical observations will be utilized to study a number of "hot-spot" galaxies. Dr. Blaha has been very active in producing good students who go on to do graduate work in astronomy, and this grant will both advance out knowledge of the star formation process and offer opportunities for student participation in this exciting research.
