95-26314 Nicholson As part of NSF-funded follow-up studies of the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact on Jupiter in July 1994, Dr. Nicholson will investigate three related topics: (1) The sequence of events and principal phenomena that resulted from the impacts, via comparative modeling of the light curves obtained from ground-based, Hubble Space Telescope, and Galileo observations; (2) the thermal and compositional response of the Jovian stratosphere to the larger impacts, using IR imaging spectroscopy; and (3) determination of the vertical distribution of the prominent impact-produced aerosols clouds, based on near-IR spectrophotometry. The basis of this investigation will be data sets obtained at Palomar Observatory, Cal., and the Siding Spring Observatory, Australia. **

95-26314尼科尔森作为国家科学基金会资助的1994年7月苏梅克-列维9号彗星撞击木星后续研究的一部分，尼科尔森博士将研究三个相关的主题：（1）事件的顺序和主要现象，从地面，哈勃太空望远镜和伽利略观测获得的光变曲线的比较模型，由影响;（2）使用红外成像光谱法，研究木星平流层对较大撞击的热响应和成分响应;（3）基于近红外分光光度法，确定主要撞击产生的气溶胶云的垂直分布。 这项调查的基础将是在加州帕洛玛天文台获得的数据集，以及澳大利亚赛丁泉天文台。 **
