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

9816291STUBBS克里斯托弗·斯塔布斯教授和其他人在华盛顿大学，与研究人员在山合作。澳大利亚Stromlo天文台正在密集星系团中搜寻超新星。 这将有助于我们理解宇宙的几何形状，有助于我们理解膨胀宇宙中的扭曲，有助于我们了解恒星演化的最后阶段。美国小组有5%的时间在MaCHO 1.3米望远镜和宽视场成像相机上，这是一种对项目成功至关重要的仪器，位于Mt. Stromlo，澳大利亚. 该奖项将支持前往山。Stromlo和克里斯托弗·斯塔布斯教授的研究生大卫·赖斯的每日津贴，为期两年，每年三次，在此期间，他将致力于他的博士论文。 澳大利亚的对应方是蒙大拿州高级研究所的布赖恩·P·施密特博士。Stromlo和Siding Spring天文台，澳大利亚。

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.
