AST-0201636Arras, PhilipDr. Arras is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB). He will conduct theoretical studies of the tidal interactions between stars and planets. His work will explore the tidal effect of the primary star on various orbiting objects: close-in extrasolar planets, Jupiter-type planets, stars which are still forming, and ordinary low-mass stars. He hopes to use his calculations to explain recent observations of extrasolar planets as well as observations of Jupiter's atmosphere. For his educational component, he will develop two new physics courses to be taught at UCSB: a graduate course on galactic dynamics, and an undergraduate course on fluid mechanics called "The Physics of California" that will apply the material to local natural phenomena such as waves and earthquakes.***

AST-0201636阿拉斯，菲利普博士。ARRAS被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(UCSB)理论物理研究所开展一项研究和教育计划。他将对恒星和行星之间的潮汐相互作用进行理论研究。他的工作将探索主星对各种轨道物体的潮汐效应：近距离的太阳系外行星、木星类型的行星、仍在形成中的恒星以及普通的低质量恒星。他希望用他的计算来解释最近对太阳系外行星的观测以及对木星大气层的观测。在他的教育部分，他将开发两门新的物理课程，将在UCSB教授：一门关于星系动力学的研究生课程，以及一门关于流体力学的本科课程，名为《加州物理》，将把这种材料应用于当地的自然现象，如波浪和地震。*
