An REU Site in Stellar Astronomy at Indiana University

AST-0139617蜜糖霍尼卡特获得了在印第安纳州布鲁明顿的印第安纳大学建立天文学本科生研究体验网站的资金。该网站将在三年内每年接待六名学生。招聘对象将是没有天文学博士课程的小型学院和州立大学的学生。学生项目的重点将是使用地面光度和光谱数据的观测恒星天文学。学生们将被分成三个研究小组，研究领域包括变星、疏散星团颜色-星等图和高色散光谱。学生活动将包括为期一周的基特峰之旅，使用0.91米的WIYN(威斯康星-印第安纳-耶鲁-NOAO)望远镜，在项目的最后一周举行内部研究研讨会，并准备摘要和海报，以便在专业会议上发表。

AST-0139617HoneycuttDr. Honeycutt is awarded funds to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in astronomy at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The site will host six students per year for three years. Recruitment will target students from small colleges and state universities without astronomy Ph.D. programs. The focus of the student projects will be observational stellar astronomy using ground-based photometric and spectroscopic data. The students will be organized into three research groups in the areas of variable stars, open cluster color-magnitude diagrams, and high dispersion spectroscopy. Student activities will include a week-long trip to Kitt Peak to use the 0.91-m WIYN (Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO) telescope, an internal research symposium in the final week of the program, and the preparation of abstracts and posters for presentation at a professional meeting.
