PI : Terzian, YervantCornell University Prop: 0096821The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in Observational Astronomy at Cornell will continue to support eight undergraduate students in the summer for eight weeks. Students will work directly with faculty and research associates in the department of Astronomy and Space Sciences on a variety of projects including optical, infrared, radio/radar, planetary and high-energy astrophysics topics. The students' research at Cornell will also provide them the opportunity to participate in astronomical observations at facilities used by Cornell researchers, such as Palomar Observatory, Arecibo Observatory, and other National Astronomy Centers. Opportunities and funding for students to travel to scientific meetings will be made available. Students will attend a lecture seminar twice a week by the Astronomy faculty on a wide range of astronomical topics. The students will be encouraged to present their research findings in a department research forum at the end of their term. The Undergraduate Observational Astronomy research program will continue to emphasize those students who are women and underrepresented groups and whose own institutions do not provide this type of research experience. Special efforts will continue to facilitate the logistical and cultural aspects of the students' research experience at Cornell.***

主要研究者：Terzian，YervantCornell University Prop：0096821康奈尔大学观测天文学本科生研究经验（REU）计划将继续在夏季为八名本科生提供八周的支持。 学生将直接与天文学和空间科学系的教师和研究人员合作，开展各种项目，包括光学，红外，无线电/雷达，行星和高能天体物理学主题。 学生在康奈尔大学的研究还将为他们提供机会，参与康奈尔大学研究人员使用的设施，如帕洛玛天文台，阿雷西博天文台和其他国家天文中心的天文观测。 将提供机会和资金，让学生前往科学会议。 学生将参加一个讲座研讨会，每周两次由天文学教师在广泛的天文学主题。 学生将被鼓励在学期末在部门研究论坛上展示他们的研究成果。 本科观测天文学研究计划将继续强调那些学生谁是妇女和代表性不足的群体，其自己的机构不提供这种类型的研究经验。 特别努力将继续促进学生在康奈尔大学的研究经验的后勤和文化方面。
