AST-0201667Gawiser, EricDr. Gawiser is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at Yale University. He will conduct a wide-field, multicolor survey for galaxies of high redshift (z=3 to 5), which will allow him to measure galaxy clustering. The large number of objects identified in this survey will provide measures of galaxy mass that will discriminate among competing theories of galaxy formation and evolution. His educational program involves a program of public education and outreach at the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He will develop tools that will provide general public access to the future virtual observatories of astronomical archival data and will conduct seminars introducing visitors to the techniques for using these virtual observatories. ***

AST-0201667Gawiser，EricDr. Gawiser被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，在耶鲁大学开展研究和教育计划。 他将对高红移（z=3到5）的星系进行一次宽视场的巡天，这将使他能够测量星系团。 在这次调查中发现的大量天体将提供星系质量的测量方法，以区分星系形成和演化的竞争理论。 他的教育计划包括在纽约美国自然历史博物馆的玫瑰地球与太空中心的公共教育和外展计划。 他将开发工具，使公众能够利用未来的天文学档案数据虚拟观测台，并将举办研讨会，向参观者介绍使用这些虚拟观测台的技术。 ***
