U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research on Stellar Radio Emission

该奖项支持不同研究人员和一名研究生在三年内进行访问，其中包括亚历山大·布朗博士、杰弗里·L·林斯基博士、斯蒂芬·A·德雷克博士、科罗拉多博尔德大学的Jay A.Bookbinder与澳大利亚新南威尔士州马斯菲尔德CSIRO放射物理学部门的澳大利亚望远镜国家设施(ATNF)合作，与Ronald T.Stewart博士合作。研究人员将使用一组名为澳大利亚望远镜(AT)的射电望远镜来研究恒星的射电发射。他们将通过合作来开发AT的潜力，将他们使用甚大阵列(VLA)观测射电恒星的经验与这种新仪器的能力结合起来。美国人将在三年内每年进行两次合作研究访问，以研究位于H-R图几乎所有部分的广泛恒星的日冕和风年龄范围从主序恒星前到恒星演化的后期。这些对恒星大气中热和非热射电发射过程的研究是他们目前研究的合乎逻辑的扩展。

This award supports visits over a three year period by the various investigators and a graduate student, including Drs. Alexander Brown, Jeffrey L. Linsky, Stephen A. Drake, and Jay A. Bookbinder of the University of Colorado Boulder to the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) of the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics in Marsfield, NSW, Australia, to work with Dr. Ronald T. Stewart. The investigators will study stellar radio emission with an array of radio telescopes called the Australia Telescope (AT). They will exploit the potential of the AT through a collaboration combining their experience of observing radio stars using the Very Large Array (VLA) with the capabilities of this new instrument. The Americans will make two collaborative research visits each year during a three year period to study the coronae and winds of a broad range of stars located in almost all parts of the H-R diagram and ranging in age from pre-main sequence stars to the late stages of stellar evolution. These investigations of both thermal and nonthermal radio emission processes in stellar atmospheres are logical extensions of their current research.
