U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Star Formation

这个为期三年的美法合作恒星天文学研究奖项包括肯塔基大学的摩西·埃利祖尔和萨克雷中心的蒂埃里·蒙默尔。该项目致力于恒星形成(恒星是如何形成的，为什么形成？)通过对年轻恒星的光谱能量分布进行建模。研究人员将对恒星形成区域从红外到毫米波长观测到的辐射进行详细分析。这家美国团队将研究重质量物体排放的理论专业知识和经验带到了这次合作中。法国在对低质量主序前物体排放的详细研究中的专业知识也补充了这一点。他们将共同开发一种二维码，用于解释法国天文学家提供的观测数据。

9815246ElitzurThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research in stellar astronomy involves Moshe Elitzur of the University of Kentucky and Thierry Montmerle of the Centre d'Etude de Saclay. The project addresses star formation (how and why do stars form?) by modeling the spectral energy distributions of young stars. The researchers will perform detailed analysis of radiation observed from IR to mm-wavelengths in star forming regions. The US group brings to this collaboration theoretical expertise and experience in studying emissions of heavy mass objects. This is complemented by French expertise in detailed studies of emissions from low-mass pre-main-sequence objects. Together they will develop a two dimensional code for interpretation of observational data provided by the French astronomers.
