An Integrated Program of Cosmological Research and Education

道具：AST-0104465PI：科布尔，金伯利博士。科布尔被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，以在芝加哥大学开展一项研究和教育计划。她的研究计划集中在宇宙微波背景(CMB)的测量上，这将测试早期宇宙结构形成的标准理论。她的观测将使用目前在南极空间站运行的度角尺度干涉仪(DASI)进行。DASI将被用来测量CMB尚未被检测到的偏振，在计划的升级之后，将被用来观测较小的角度尺度以及星系团中的Sunyaev-Zel‘dovich效应。科布尔博士的教育项目将在阿德勒天文馆和天文博物馆进行，她将在那里教授天文学和宇宙学课程，并在她进行研究的同时建立与南极的通信连接。***

Prop: AST-0104465PI: Coble, KimberlyDr. Coble is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at the University of Chicago. Her research program centers on measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) which will test the standard theory of structure formation in the early universe. Her observations will be made with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI), which is currently operating at the South Pole Station. DASI will be used to measure the as yet undetected polarization of the CMB, and following a planned upgrade will be used to observe smaller angular scales as well as the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in galaxy clusters. Dr. Coble's educational program will be carried out at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, where she will teach courses on astronomy and cosmology, and establish a communications link to the South Pole while she is conducting research. ***
