9815741RothschildThis award supports the PI, Richard Rothschild, two postdoctoral students and two graduate students of the University of Florida in a collaboration with Rudiger Staubert of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Tuebingen, Germany. The research focus is on the analysis and interpretation of X-ray data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The U.S. team has a strong knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the data obtained from RXTE and the German team is strong in the development and use of advanced interpretive tools. Together, the two teams are in a unique position to use the raw X-ray data to answer current astrophysical questions. Specifically, the two groups will improve our understanding of processes associated with neutron stars and black holes.

9815741ROTHSCHILDTHIS奖支持PI，Richard Rothschild，两名博士后学生和佛罗里达大学的两名研究生与德国Tuebingen大学天文学研究所的Rudiger Staubert合作。 研究重点是从Rossi X射线计时探索器（RXTE）中对X射线数据的分析和解释。美国团队对从RXTE获得的数据的优势和局限性有着深入的了解，而德国团队在开发和使用先进的解释工具方面很强。 这两个团队共同使用原始X射线数据来回答当前的天体物理问题。 具体而言，这两组将提高我们对与中子星和黑洞相关的过程的理解。
