NSF Young Investigator

这项国家科学基金会青年研究人员奖将支持对我们所在星系以外的星系中行星状星云的识别、观测和测量。首席研究员罗宾·恰尔杜罗博士将利用这些观测结果来研究这些星系中的大尺度运动，研究恒星演化的后期阶段，并为宇宙确定一个更好的校准距离尺度。

This National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award will support the identification, observation, and measurement of planetary nebulae in galaxies other than our own. The principal investigator, Dr. Robin Ciardullo, will use these observations to study the large scale motions in these galaxies, study the late stages of stellar evolution, and determine a better calibrated distance scale for the Universe.
