Observations of Comet Hale-Bopp

马里兰州大学的迈克尔·阿赫恩博士和利塞博士将对海尔-波普彗星进行非常全面的多波长观测计划。主要目标是更好地了解彗星形成的环境。特别是，研究彗星中的硫化学的目的是了解硫与彗星物质的原始性质之间的相关性。该奖项由天文科学部和国家科学基金会数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室联合支持。=

AST-9615608 Michael A'Hearn Drs. A'Hearn and Lisse at the University of Maryland will carry out a very comprehensive multi-wavelength program of observation of comet Hale-Bopp. The primary goal is to gain a better understanding of the cometary formation environments. In particular, an investigation of the sulfur chemistry in the comet has the goal of understanding the relevance of sulfur in terms of the primordial nature of cometary materials. This award is supported jointly by the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at NSF. ===========================================
