US-Mexico Program: Developing a Collaborative Educational/Research Program for Remote Sensing Using Precision Spectropolarimetry

OISE 0753239- Kuhn, Jeffrey R.夏威夷大学开发利用精密分光偏振法遥感的合作教育/研究计划该奖项为美国PI， Jeffrey R. Kuhn博士，夏威夷檀香山天文研究所副所长，Dave Harrington先生，主要的偏振学学生研究员，另一名本科生和JD Armstrong先生，天文研究所-毛伊岛科学家，高级教育计划，提供旅行和参与者支持。前往墨西哥库尔纳瓦卡进行计划访问。他们将与墨西哥首席PI、墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）的Gloria Koenigsberger博士会面，制定并启动一项光谱偏振学合作计划，使美国和墨西哥学生能够获取和分析遥感天文光谱偏振学数据。拟议中的访问计划将使美国PI能够与墨西哥发展一种新的互利合作关系。所有参与者都具有互补的专业知识和资格。Koenigsberger博士和她在墨西哥的团队拥有理论和观测方面的专业知识，这将支持此次合作，并补充夏威夷团队目前对恒星光谱偏振法的研究。本研究领域涉及一项日益重要的诊断技术，并着重于培养学生。

OISE 0753239- Kuhn, Jeffrey R. University of HawaiiDeveloping a Collaborative Educational/Research Program for Remote Sensing Using Precision SpectropolarimetryThis award provides travel and participant support for the U.S. PI, Dr. Jeffrey R. Kuhn, Associate Director, Institute for Astronomy, Honolulu, Hawaii, Mr. Dave Harrington, key polarimetry student researcher, another undergraduate student and Mr. JD Armstrong, Institute for Astronomy -Maui scientist, Advanced Education Programs, to undertake a planning visit to Cuernavaca, Mexico. They will meet with the Mexican PI, Dr. Gloria Koenigsberger of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), to formulate and initialize a program of collaboration in Spectropolarimetry that will allow U.S. and Mexican students to obtain and analyze remote sensing astronomical spectropolarimetry data. The proposed planning visits will enable the U.S. PI to develop a new, mutually beneficial collaboration with Mexico. All participants have complementary expertise and qualifications. Dr. Koenigsberger and her group in Mexico have theoretical and observational expertise which will support the collaboration and complements current research into stellar spectropolarimetry by the Hawaiian group. This research area deals with an increasingly important diagnostic technique and has a strong focus on training students.
