REU Site: REU Support for Undergraduate Research in Observational Astronomy

康奈尔大学观测天文学本科生研究经验项目（REU）将在夏季继续为8名本科生提供为期8周的支持。学生将直接与天文学和空间科学系的教师和研究人员一起研究各种项目，包括光学、红外、无线电/雷达、行星和高能天体物理学主题。学生们在康奈尔大学的研究还将为他们提供机会，参与康奈尔大学研究人员使用的设施的天文观测，如帕洛马天文台、阿雷西博天文台和其他国家天文中心。将为学生提供参加科学会议的机会和资金。学生将参加由天文学教授每周两次的讲座研讨会，内容涉及广泛的天文学主题。学生将被鼓励在学期结束时在系里的研究论坛上展示他们的研究成果。本科生观测天文学研究项目将继续强调那些女性学生和代表性不足的群体，以及他们自己的机构不提供这种研究经验的学生。康奈尔大学将继续为学生在康奈尔大学的研究经历提供后勤和文化方面的便利

PI : Terzian, YervantCornell University Prop: 0096821The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in Observational Astronomy at Cornell will continue to support eight undergraduate students in the summer for eight weeks. Students will work directly with faculty and research associates in the department of Astronomy and Space Sciences on a variety of projects including optical, infrared, radio/radar, planetary and high-energy astrophysics topics. The students' research at Cornell will also provide them the opportunity to participate in astronomical observations at facilities used by Cornell researchers, such as Palomar Observatory, Arecibo Observatory, and other National Astronomy Centers. Opportunities and funding for students to travel to scientific meetings will be made available. Students will attend a lecture seminar twice a week by the Astronomy faculty on a wide range of astronomical topics. The students will be encouraged to present their research findings in a department research forum at the end of their term. The Undergraduate Observational Astronomy research program will continue to emphasize those students who are women and underrepresented groups and whose own institutions do not provide this type of research experience. Special efforts will continue to facilitate the logistical and cultural aspects of the students' research experience at Cornell.***
