Star Formation in Spiral Galaxies

该奖项是一项研究计划拨款，用于研究大质量恒星形成对螺旋星系盘和核区域的影响。无线电和光学观测将被用来研究一些“热点”星系。Blaha博士一直非常积极地培养优秀的学生，这些学生将继续从事天文学的研究生工作，这笔资助将促进我们对恒星形成过程的了解，并为学生参与这项令人兴奋的研究提供机会。

This award is a research planning grant to study impact of massive star formation on the disk and nuclear regions of spiral galaxies. Both radio and optical observations will be utilized to study a number of "hot-spot" galaxies. Dr. Blaha has been very active in producing good students who go on to do graduate work in astronomy, and this grant will both advance out knowledge of the star formation process and offer opportunities for student participation in this exciting research.
