AST-0508996Dr. Rosemary Wyse, at Johns Hopkins University, will use this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) award to undertake research made possible through RAVE (the RAdial Velocity Experiment), an international project with the ultimate goal of measuring the radial velocities and chemical abundances for a sample of roughly a one million stars by 2011. RAVE relies upon timely access to the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope in Australia. The data will allow for the reconstruction of a part of the evolutionary history of the Milky Way. The proposed research forms the basis of a PhD thesis, and the dataset obtained in this study will be accessible to the broader astronomical community, and the public, through a "Virtual Observatory" compliant archive. Additionally, the PI will develop projects for High School students based on the archive, building on her experience working with a local High School student.

AST-0508996博士。约翰·霍普金斯大学的罗斯玛丽·怀斯 (Rosemary Wyse) 将利用这项探索性研究小额资助 (SGER) 奖项开展通过 RAVE（径向速度实验）实现的研究，该项目是一个国际项目，其最终目标是到 2011 年测量大约 100 万颗恒星样本的径向速度和化学丰度。RAVE 依赖于及时访问澳大利亚的 120 万英国施密特望远镜。 这些数据将有助于重建银河系演化历史的一部分。 拟议的研究构成了博士论文的基础，并且本研究中获得的数据集将通过“虚拟天文台”合规档案向更广泛的天文学界和公众开放。此外，PI 将根据她与当地高中生合作的经验，根据档案为高中生开发项目。
