9423970 Kay The International Junior Investigator and Postdoctoral Fellows Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a six-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Laura E. Kay to work with Associate Professor Antonio Mario Magalhaes at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. This project will involve the development of a collaboration for establishing the technique of spectropolarimetry at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in La Serena, Chile. Dr. Kay will test polarimetry optics on the spectrograph at the 4m telescope at CTIO. She will also visit the Instituto Astronomico e Geofisico (IAG) in Brazil to analyze data and explore modifications of the CTIO spectrograph that will increase its usefulness. In addition, Dr. Kay's visit will serve to strengthen the Gemini partnership involving Brazil and Chile. ***

小行星9423970 国际初级研究员和博士后研究员计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。 该奖项将支持为期六个月的博士后研究访问博士劳拉E。凯与巴西圣保罗大学的安东尼奥·马里奥·马加良斯副教授合作。 该项目将涉及开展合作，在智利拉塞雷纳的Cerro Tololo美洲天文台建立分光偏振技术。 凯博士将在CTIO的4米望远镜上测试光谱仪上的偏振光学。 她还将访问巴西的天文和地球物理研究所（IAG），分析数据并探索CTIO光谱仪的改进，以提高其实用性。 此外，凯博士的访问将有助于加强涉及巴西和智利的双子座伙伴关系。***
