Dissertation Enchancement: U.S.-Australia Cooperative Project on Supernova Search at Mt. Stromlo

9731862斯塔布斯教授克里斯托弗·斯塔布斯和华盛顿大学的其他人与山上的研究人员合作。澳大利亚斯特罗姆洛天文台正在密集星系团中寻找超新星(SNE)。这将有助于我们理解宇宙的几何形状，有助于我们理解膨胀宇宙中的扭曲，有助于我们了解恒星演化的最后阶段。这家美国集团有5%的时间使用马乔1.3米望远镜和广域成像相机，这是位于Mt.斯特罗姆洛，澳大利亚。这项奖励将支持前往芒特山的旅行。斯特罗姆洛和克里斯托弗·斯塔布斯教授的研究生大卫·赖斯每天旅行三次，为期两年，在此期间他将致力于他的博士论文。澳大利亚的同行是来自蒙大拿州高级研究所的布莱恩·P·施密特博士。斯特龙洛和斯丁泉天文台，澳大利亚。

9731862 STUBBS Professor Christopher Stubbs and others at the University of Washington, in collaboration with researchers at Mt. Stromlo Observatory, Australia, are engaged in a search for supernovae (SNe) in dense clusters of galaxies. This will contribute to our understanding of the geometry of the universe, to our understanding of distortions in the expanding universe, and to our knowledge of the final stages of stellar evolution. The U.S. group has 5% of the time on the MaCHO 1.3m telescope and wide-field imaging camera, an instrument that is essential to the success of the project, located at Mt. Stromlo, Australia. This award will support the travel to Mt. Stromlo and per diem of Professor Christopher Stubbs' graduate student, David Reiss, for three trips a year for two years during which he will be working on his Ph.D thesis. The Australian counterpart is Dr. Brian P. Schmidt of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Mt. Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories, Australia.
