CAREER: SMUDGES - A Survey for Dwarf Galaxies in the Local UniverseABSTRACTAST 0347929 van ZeeDr. Liese van Zee, at Indiana University will undertake an optical imaging and spectroscopic survey to identify dwarf galaxies in the local universe. The program centers on the SMUDGES (Systematic Multiwavelength Unbiased catalog of Dwarf Galaxies and Evolution of Structure) survey. The outcome of this research will be a catalog that includes morphology, colors, redshifts, and star formation rates for tens of thousands of galaxies, unbiased by their star forming activity. The catalog will provide a resource for the determination of the "typical" mode of star formation in dwarf galaxies, a census of dwarf elliptical galaxies in clusters and low-density environments, number counts for faint galaxies in the local universe, and a means to investigate the connection between large-scale structure and galaxy evolution.The SMUDGES catalog will be made available to the astronomical community with a web-based interface that is compliant with the National Virtual Observatory. Additionally, the PI will integrate research and education into undergraduate astronomy courses at Indiana University. She will teach and evaluate an inquiry-based introductory astronomy course that serves as the science content course for pre-service secondary school teachers. The PI also plans to adapt telescope data for student research projects in an advanced undergraduate astronomy course. The research projects will be intended to build on the inquiry-based pedagogy developed in the introductory astronomy courses, and form an intermediary step between laboratory exercises and open-ended research projects.

职业生涯：SMUDGES -一个调查矮星系在当地的宇宙摘要0347929货车ZeeDr。印第安纳州大学的Liese货车Zee将进行一项光学成像和光谱调查，以确定本地宇宙中的矮星系。 该计划的中心是SMUDGES（矮星系和结构演化的系统性多波长无偏目录）调查。 这项研究的结果将是一个目录，包括形态，颜色，红移，和星星形成率为数万个星系，不受其星星形成活动。该目录将为确定矮星系中星星形成的“典型”模式、对星系团和低密度环境中的矮椭圆星系的普查、对局部宇宙中微弱星系的计数、以及研究大尺度结构和星系演化之间联系的一种手段。SMUDGES目录将通过一个网络提供给天文学界，基于接口，符合国家虚拟天文台。 此外，PI将把研究和教育纳入印第安纳州大学的本科天文学课程。她将教授和评估一个基于探究的天文学入门课程，作为职前中学教师的科学内容课程。 PI还计划将望远镜数据用于高级本科天文学课程的学生研究项目。这些研究项目将以天文学入门课程中开发的探究式教学法为基础，并在实验室练习和开放式研究项目之间形成一个中间步骤。
