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.

9815741rothschild该奖项支持PI， Richard Rothschild，佛罗里达大学的两名博士后和两名研究生与德国图宾根大学天文研究所的Rudiger Staubert合作。研究重点是罗西x射线定时探测器（RXTE）的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很强的了解，德国团队在开发和使用先进的解释工具方面很强。这两个团队在使用原始x射线数据来回答当前天体物理学问题方面处于独特的地位。具体来说，这两个小组将提高我们对中子星和黑洞相关过程的理解。
