Kinematics of Stellar Systems: Mass Distributions, Stellar Populations, and Binary Star Frequencies

卡尔顿普赖尔西奥多威廉姆斯罗格斯大学FY 97：183,000美元36个月。 恒星系统的动力学：质量分布，恒星种群和双星星星频率。 罗格斯大学的普赖尔和威廉姆斯博士将研究恒星系统的质量、结构、恒星成分和动力学演化。 其基本目标是更好地确定在我们银河系中形成的第一代恒星的性质，并在星星团和星系中寻找暗物质。 这些研究人员将测量非常大的恒星径向速度样本，作为这项研究的观测技术。 该奖项包括资助本科生参与研究计划。 =================

Carlton Pryor Theodore Williams Rutgers University FY97: $183,000 For 36 months. Kinematics of Stellar Systems: Mass Distributions, Stellar Populations, and Binary Star Frequencies. Drs. Pryor and Williams, at Rutgers University, will study the mass, structure, stellar content, and dynamical evolution of stellar systems. The basic goals are to better define the properties of the first generation of stars to form in our Milky Way galaxy and to search for dark matter in star clusters and galaxies. These researchers will measure very large samples of stellar radical velocities as the observation technique for this study. The award includes funding for involving undergraduate students in the research program. =================
