Dissertaton Enhancement: U.S.-Australia Cooperative Project on Supernova Search at Mt. Stromlo

华盛顿大学的克里斯托弗·斯塔布斯教授等人与澳大利亚斯特罗姆洛山天文台的研究人员合作，在密集的星系团中寻找超新星（SNe）。这将有助于我们对宇宙几何形状的理解，有助于我们对宇宙膨胀中的扭曲的理解，有助于我们对恒星演化最后阶段的了解。位于澳大利亚斯特罗姆罗山的MaCHO 1.3米望远镜和宽视场成像相机是该项目成功的关键设备，美国小组拥有5%的时间。该奖项将资助Christopher Stubbs教授的研究生David Reiss前往斯特罗姆罗山进行为期两年的旅行。在此期间，David Reiss将完成他的博士论文。澳大利亚的同行是澳大利亚斯特罗姆洛山和赛丁泉天文台高级研究所的布莱恩·p·施密特博士。

9816291STUBBS Professor Christopher Stubbs and others at the University of Washington, in collaboration with researchers at Mt. Stromlo Observatory, Australia, are engaged in a search for supernovae (SNe) in dense clusters of galaxies. This will contribute to our understanding of the geometry of the universe, to our understanding of distortions in the expanding universe, and to our knowledge of the final stages of stellar evolution. The U.S. group has 5% of the time on the MaCHO 1.3m telescope and wide-field imaging camera, an instrument which is essential to the success of the project, located at Mt. Stromlo, Australia. This award will support the travel to Mt. Stromlo and per diem of Professor Christopher Stubbs' graduate student, David Reiss, for three trips a year for two years during which he will be working on his Ph.D thesis. The Australian counterpart is Dr. Brian P. Schmidt of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Mt. Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories, Australia.
