An Integrated Program of Cosmological Research and Education

Prop：AST-0104465 PI：Coble，KimberlyDr. Coble被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，在芝加哥大学开展研究和教育计划。 她的研究项目集中在宇宙微波背景（CMB）的测量，这将测试早期宇宙结构形成的标准理论。 她的观测将使用目前在南极站运行的角度尺度干涉仪（DASI）进行。 DASI将用于测量尚未探测到的CMB偏振，并在计划升级后用于观测较小的角尺度以及星系团中的Sunyaev-Zel'dovich效应。 科布尔博士的教育方案将在阿德勒天文馆和天文博物馆进行，她将在那里教授天文学和宇宙学课程，并在她进行研究时建立与南极的通信联系。***

Prop: AST-0104465PI: Coble, KimberlyDr. Coble is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at the University of Chicago. Her research program centers on measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) which will test the standard theory of structure formation in the early universe. Her observations will be made with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI), which is currently operating at the South Pole Station. DASI will be used to measure the as yet undetected polarization of the CMB, and following a planned upgrade will be used to observe smaller angular scales as well as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in galaxy clusters. Dr. Coble's educational program will be carried out at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, where she will teach courses on astronomy and cosmology, and establish a communications link to the South Pole while she is conducting research. ***
