0090128RothschildThis award supports a third year of funding for Richard Rothschild and students from the University of California-San Diego in a collaboration with Rudiger Staubert of the Department of 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. The opportunity this joint, collaborative research effort presents junior researchers is substantial, and the work done on this proposal will help institutionalize the relationship between the German and U.S. research groups.

0090128ROTHSCHILDTHIS TINE奖为Richard Rothschild和加利福尼亚大学迭戈分校的学生提供了第三年的资金，与德国Tuebingen大学天文学系的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。这项联合合作研究工作的机会表明，初级研究人员是实质性的，这项提案所做的工作将有助于使德国和美国研究小组之间的关系制度化。
