RUI: Observational Cosmology in the Near Infrared

这个项目是哈弗福德学院、密歇根州立大学和怀俄明大学用近红外成像相机进行银河系外观测的合作努力的一部分。哈弗福德学院在让本科生参与一线研究方面享有极高的声誉，培养出的天文学家与其规模完全不成比例。这项奖励将使他们能够参与开发两台现代红外CCD相机，并利用这些设备研究早期宇宙中星系的形成。

This project is part of a collaborative effort between Haverford College, Michigan State University, and the University of Wyoming for extragalactic observations with near infrared imaging cameras. Haverford College has an outstanding reputation for involving undergraduate students in front line research, and has produced astronomers out of all proportion to its size. This award will enable them to participate in the development of two modern infrared CCD cameras, and to utilize these devices in studies of the formation of galaxies in the early universe.
