This proposal seeks funding for an advanced network connection in order to facilitate research and education in the following ways:Computational Astrophysics-Use of remote supercomputer for large-scale, 3D simulations of supersonic gas dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics to study star formation (funded by NSF Career Award, NASA and NSF Awards);Observational Astrophysics-Survey for High Proper-Motion Stars-This will speed up the investigation and cataloging of millions of stars and answer some fundamental questions about the nature of white dwarf stars based on terrabytes of data at the Johns Hopkins' Space Telescope Science Institute (funded by NSF, NASA);Digital Library Project-Sharing of Museum Data (32 million specimens and cultural artifacts) to the scientific community at large;Comparative Genomics/Evolutionary Biology-Multiple projects (funded by NSF, NASA)High resolution Virtual Specimens for Morphometrics-Dissemination of very large 3D specimen object datasets over high speed networks to provide a database of virtual objects (funded by NSF) ;Center for Biodiversity-Various Projects including humpback whale research, remote sensing research taking place worldwide, including Vietnam, Madagascar, Bahamas (funded by NSF, NASA, Private) ;Geology-Improve the remote operation of a microprobe, housed at AMNH, from Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University (funded by NSF)Interdepartmental Labs-Remote collaborative work via remote operation of telescopes and microscopes;Hayden Planetarium-Development of new Digital Dome shows which involves the acquisition of images, remote supercomputing for rendering of visualizations, remote collaboration in development.

该提案寻求资金用于先进的网络连接，以促进以下方面的研究和教育：计算天体物理学-使用远程超级计算机进行超音速气体动力学和磁流体动力学的大规模三维模拟，以研究星星的形成（由NSF职业奖，NASA和NSF奖资助）;观测天体物理学-高自行恒星综述-这将加快对数百万颗恒星的调查和编目，并回答一些关于白色矮星性质的基本问题，约翰霍普金斯太空望远镜科学研究所（基金：NSF、NASA）;数字图书馆项目-博物馆数据共享（3 200万件标本和文物）提供给广大科学界;比较基因组学/进化生物学-多个项目（由NSF资助，NASA）用于形态测量的高分辨率虚拟样本-通过高速网络传播非常大的3D样本对象数据集以提供虚拟对象的数据库（由NSF资助）;生物多样性中心-各种项目，包括座头鲸研究，遥感研究发生在世界各地，包括越南，马达加斯加，巴哈马（由NSF、NASA资助，私人）;地质学-改进位于AMNH的微型探测器的远程操作，来自哥伦比亚大学的拉蒙多尔蒂地球观测站（由NSF资助）跨部门实验室-通过远程操作望远镜和显微镜进行远程协作工作;海登天文馆-开发新的数字圆顶显示，其中涉及图像的采集，远程超级计算渲染的可视化，远程协作开发。
