REU Site Program at the National Solar Observatory

该奖项为国家太阳天文台（NSO）的本科生研究经验（REU）网站提供资金。每年将有八名学生与NSO在亚利桑那州图森附近的基特峰和新墨西哥州太阳黑子附近的萨克拉门托峰的两个地点的科学家配对。学生将对太阳物理学的前沿课题进行广泛的研究，包括日震学，太阳-恒星联系，太阳活动动力学，空间天气和日冕研究。他们还将利用国家统计局在这两个地点的全套望远镜。至关重要的是，为学生提供的研究经验将为新一代科学家使用即将到来的丹尼尔K。Inouye太阳望远镜（DKIST），目前正在夏威夷毛伊岛建造。NSO REU网站致力于确保其队列具有广泛的代表性，来自一级大学的学生，以及STEM研究机会有限的学校的本科生。学生还将有机会在主要的国家和国际会议上介绍他们的工作，包括美国天文学会和美国地球物理联盟会议。

This award provides funding for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the National Solar Observatory (NSO). Eight students per year will be paired with scientists at NSO's two locations at Kitt Peak, near Tucson, AZ; and Sacramento Peak, near Sunspot, NM. The students will conduct extensive research into cutting-edge topics in solar physics, including helioseismology, solar-stellar connections, the dynamics of solar activity, space weather, and studies of the solar corona. They will also take advantage of the full suite of NSO's telescopes in both locations. Critically, the research experiences on offer to the students will prepare a new generation of scientists to use the upcoming Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), which is currently under construction in Maui, HI.The NSO REU Site is deeply committed to ensuring that its cohort has broad representation from students at Tier 1 universities, as well from undergraduates at schools with limited research opportunities in STEM. Students will also be offered the opportunity to present their work at major national and international meetings, including the American Astronomical Society and the American Geophysical Union conferences.
