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

Oise 0753239-Kuhn，夏威夷大学Jeffrey R.Kuhn利用精密光谱偏振测量仪制定遥感合作教育/研究计划该奖项为美国国际天文学研究所副所长Jeffrey R.Kuhn博士，夏威夷檀香山天文研究所副主任，Dave Harrington先生，极化测量重点学生研究员，另一名本科生和JD Armstrong先生，毛伊岛天文学院科学家，高级教育方案，进行一次计划访问提供差旅和参与者支持。他们将与墨西哥国立自治大学(UNAM)的墨西哥PI Gloria Koenigsberger博士会面，制定和启动一项光谱偏振合作计划，该计划将允许美国和墨西哥的学生获得和分析遥感天文光谱偏振数据。拟议的计划访问将使美国PI能够与墨西哥发展一种新的互惠合作。所有参与者都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专业知识，这将支持合作，并补充夏威夷团队目前对恒星光谱偏振测量的研究。这一研究领域涉及一种日益重要的诊断技术，并以培训学生为重点。

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.
