9721455 Alyssa Goodman Dr. Alyssa Goodman will carry out a project that will offer quantitative new measures of how the material between the stars, known as the interstellar medium, is distributed. She will develop new quantitative methods for analyzing both numerical simulations and observed data sets, and to use these methods to bridge the gap in our understanding of the relationship between numerical simulations and the interstellar medium. Upon completion, the project should provide the astronomical community with an optimized set of physically-motivated statistical diagnostics that best capture the properties of a three-dimensional map of interstellar material, either simulated or observed. Such statistical diagnostics will become invaluable probes of the physical properties of star forming regions, supernova remnants, large galactic clouds, and diffuse clouds in our Galaxy. ***

小行星9721455 Alyssa Goodman博士将开展一个项目，该项目将提供定量的新措施来衡量恒星之间的物质（称为星际介质）是如何分布的。 她将开发新的定量方法来分析数值模拟和观测数据集，并使用这些方法来弥合我们对数值模拟和星际介质之间关系的理解中的差距。 完成后，该项目将为天文学界提供一套优化的物理驱动统计诊断，最好地捕捉星际物质三维地图的特性，无论是模拟的还是观察的。 这种统计诊断将成为我们银河系中星星形成区、超新星遗迹、大型星系云和弥散云的物理性质的宝贵探测器。 ***
