REU Support for Undergraduate Research in Observational Astronomy

Terzian Cornell University将继续开展1989年夏季建立的观测天文学项目，本科生将参与康奈尔大学天文学小组的研究活动。本科生将与康奈尔大学的教职员工和研究人员一起研究各种项目，包括光学、红外、射电/雷达天文学以及其他相关主题。学生们在康奈尔大学的研究将为他们提供参与康奈尔大学研究人员使用的设施的天文观测的机会，如帕洛马天文台和国家天文中心。学生将被鼓励参加康奈尔大学的本科生研究论坛，并在夏季与康奈尔大学的其他学生展示和讨论他们的各种研究项目。观测天文学本科研究项目将继续鼓励女性学生或代表性不足的群体的参与，他们自己的机构不提供这种研究经验。将作出特别努力，便利学生参加者的后勤方面，例如住房和文化活动。

Abstract Terzian Cornell University will continue the Observational Astronomy Program established in the Summer of 1989, in which undergraduate students are involved in the research activities of the astronomy group at Cornell University. The undergraduate students will work with members of the Cornell faculty and research staff on a variety of projects, including optical, infrared, and radio/radar astronomy, and other related topics. The students' research at Cornell will provide them the opportunity to participate in astronomical observations at facilities used by Cornell researchers, such as the Palomar Observatory and National Astronomy Centers. The students will be encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Forum at Cornell and to present and discuss their various research projects with other students who are at Cornell in the summer. The Undergraduate Research in Observational Astronomy program will continue to encourage the participation of students who are women or underrepresented groups and whose own institutions do not provide this kind of research experience. Special efforts will be made to facilitate the logistical aspects of the student participants, such as housing and cultural activities.
