Nora Shipp is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at Carnegie Mellon University. Shipp will use observations and simulations of stellar streams orbiting the Milky Way to understand properties of dark matter and the physics of galaxy formation. For the educational component of this project, Shipp will establish training and volunteer opportunities in data science for social good for astronomers and physicists with data science expertise. This research project will establish robust predictions for populations of stellar streams around the Milky Way and beyond, using a variety of cosmological simulations and semi-analytic models. Shipp will then use large astronomical surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to test these predictions and to map the local distribution of dark matter, inform our models of small-scale galaxy formation, and measure the structure and assembly history of the Milky Way.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

诺拉·希普（Nora Shipp）被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学奖学金，以在卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）进行研究和教育计划。 Shipp将使用旋转的银河系方式的恒星流的观测和模拟来理解暗物质的特性和星系形成的物理。对于该项目的教育组成部分，Shipp将为具有数据科学专业知识的天文学家和物理学家提供数据科学的培训和志愿者机会。该研究项目将使用各种宇宙学模拟和半分析模型对银河系及以后的恒星流人群建立强大的预测。 Shipp will then use large astronomical surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to test these predictions and to map the local distribution of dark matter, inform our models of small-scale galaxy formation, and measure the structure and assembly history of the Milky Way.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts审查标准。
