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.

0090128 Rothschild该奖项支持Richard Rothschild和加州大学圣地亚哥分校的学生与德国图宾根大学天文学系的Rudiger Staubert合作，获得第三年的资助。研究重点是对ROSSI X射线定时探测器(RXTE)的X射线数据进行分析和解释。美国团队对从RXTE获得的数据的优势和局限性了如指掌，德国团队在开发和使用高级解释工具方面也很在行。这两个团队共同处于一个独特的位置，可以使用原始X射线数据来回答当前的天体物理学问题。具体地说，这两个小组将提高我们对中子星和黑洞相关过程的理解。这种联合、合作的研究努力为初级研究人员带来了巨大的机会，就这一提议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。
