U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Probing the Solar Interior and Atmosphere by Oscillations

该奖项支持由Bartol研究所的Stuart Jeffries博士和东京大学的Yoji Osaki教授领导的为期两年的合作研究项目。他们将通过测量太阳的声波振荡（日震学）来研究太阳内部和大气的组成和动力学。这次合作是专业知识的自然结合：美国团队获得了一些目前可用的最高质量的成像日震数据，而日本研究人员是太阳振荡的理论家。通过结合这些专业知识，两组可以获得比单独任何一组更深入的理解和更快的进展。因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转移方面的目标。＊＊＊

9417091 Jeffries This award supports a two-year cooperative research project led by Dr. Stuart Jeffries of the Bartol Research Institute and Professor Yoji Osaki of the University of Tokyo. The collaborators will study the composition and dynamics of the Sun s interior and atmosphere through measurement of its acoustic oscillations (helioseismology.) The collaboration is a natural combination of expertise: the U.S. team has obtained some of the highest quality, imaged, helioseismic data currently available whereas the Japanese researchers are theoreticians in solar oscillations. By combining these expertises, the two groups can achieve a deeper understanding and more rapid progress than can either group alone. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
