9315967 Winkler Supernova remnants provide information on the late stages of stellar evolution, the interstellar medium and the chemical evolution of galaxies. Often these remnants can be better observed in other nearby galaxies than in our own galaxy. For this reason several galaxies will be searched for more remnants. Detailed observations of known remnants in the Milky Way Galaxy will also be made. The PI has conducted photometric monitoring of light curves of supernovas in collaboration with astronomers at other colleges. This will be continued. Undergraduate students will be involved in all aspects of this work. ***

9315967温克勒超新星遗迹提供了关于恒星演化的后期阶段、星际介质和星系的化学演化的信息。通常，这些残骸在附近的其他星系中比在我们自己的星系中更容易被观测到。出于这个原因，将在几个星系中寻找更多的残骸。此外，还将对银河系的已知残骸进行详细的观测。PI与其他学院的天文学家合作，对超新星的光曲线进行了光度监测。这一点将继续下去。本科生将参与到这项工作的各个方面。***
