Studies of Compact Galactic Objects

9307913致密星系天体的贝克研究。巴克博士研究的三个目标是：(A)探索使用毫秒脉冲星阵列作为天体时钟组合；(B)更广泛地了解影响无线电信号传播的星际微湍流；以及(C)更全面地了解活动星系核的辐射机制和潜在动力学，重点放在我们的银河系中心。贝克博士将在无线电波段开展各种观测项目，并进行相关的分析和解释。观测计划将通过由贝克博士开发和维护的仪器来推进，主要用于国家天文台。

9307913 Backer Studies of Compact Galactic Objects. The three goals of Dr. Backer's research are (a) an exploration of the use of an array of millisecond pulsars as a celestial clock ensemble; (b) a broader understanding of interstellar microturbulence which affects radio signal propagation; and (c) a more complete view of the radiation mechanism and underlying dynamics in active galactic nuclei with a focus on our galactic center. Dr. Backer will carry out a variety of observational programs at radio wavelengths with related analysis and interpretation. The observational programs will be advanced by instrumentation developed and maintained by Dr. Backer, and used primarily at the National Observatories.
