9515468 Zirin This award will support travel over a two year period to enable Dr. Harold Zirin from the Department of Solar Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology to conduct collaborative research with Prof. Peter R. Wilson of the School of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Sydney. The cooperative research will focus on the study of solar polar magnetic fields. The Sun's polar fields are important because they are the dominant feature acting far from the sun in interplanetary space. The behavior of the solar polar magnetic fields is one of the remarkable aspects of the sunspot cycle, and of great importance to solar-terrestrial relations. The project seeks to team up an ongoing program of polar observations conducted at the Big Bear Solar Observatory in the United States and an analysis program at the University of Sydney where needed software has already been developed. The combination of investigators should result in new insights in the interpretation of the observational data already collected. The work in Australia is supported through the Department of Industry, Science and Tourism (DIST).

9515468 Zirin该奖项将支持为期两年的旅行，使加州理工大学太阳天文学系的Harold Zirin博士能够与悉尼大学数学与统计学院的Peter R.Wilson教授开展合作研究。合作研究将集中在太阳极地磁场的研究上。太阳的极地磁场很重要，因为它们是星际空间中远离太阳活动的主要特征。太阳极地磁场的行为是太阳黑子周期中值得注意的方面之一，对日地关系非常重要。该项目寻求将美国大熊太阳天文台正在进行的极地观测项目与悉尼大学的分析项目结合起来，悉尼大学已经开发了所需的软件。研究人员的结合应该会对已经收集的观测数据的解释产生新的见解。澳大利亚的工作由工业、科学和旅游部(DIST)提供支持。
