Collaborative Project: The Properties of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

博森博士将通过两种方式继续发现和详细研究一般星系群体中的低表面亮度成员。首先是继续在射电和光学波长进行观测，以更全面地限制低表面亮度星系的恒星数量、气体和尘埃含量以及金属丰度。第二个是通过新的电荷耦合器件测量，特别是斯隆数字天空测量，研究这些星系的数量，并更好地理解任何选择效应的结果。这是一个与亚利桑那大学克里斯托弗·伊姆佩博士合作的项目。

Bothun, Gregory AST 96-17011 Dr. Bothun will continue the discovery and detailed study of low surface brightness members of the general galaxy population in two ways. The first is to continue observations at radio and optical wavelengths to more fully constrain the stellar populations, gas and dust content, and metallicity of low surface brightness galaxies. The second is to study the populations of these galaxies from new CCD surveys, especially the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and to better understand the result of any selection effects. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Christopher Impey at the University of Arizona.
