CAREER: Multi-wavelength Research and Educational Experiences for Graduate, Undergraduate, and High School Students across North Carolina

职业生涯：北卡罗来纳州研究生、本科生和高中生的多波长研究和教育经验0449001丹尼尔·赖哈特博士。北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的丹尼尔·赖哈特将开展一项研究和教育项目，研究伽马射线暴(GRB)余辉。最近的研究表明，伽玛暴是大质量恒星在过渡到黑洞过程中死亡的结果。这是自大爆炸以来最大的爆炸，甚至超过了超新星爆炸。利用各种望远镜，PI将在爆炸后的早期和中期获得光学和近红外波长的良好采样数据。这项研究的目的是利用伽玛暴探测早期宇宙，并提高我们对伽玛暴物理及其环境的理解，并确定这些事件的多样性或一致性。该协会将利用大部分时间在项目望远镜上开展教育活动，并与十个本科生机构(包括历史上的非裔美国人和美洲原住民机构)以及莫尔黑德天文馆和科学中心一起开展“NC即时合作”项目。

CAREER: Multi-wavelength Research and Educational Experiences for Graduate, Undergraduate, and High School Students across North Carolina ABSTRACTAST 0449001 Daniel ReichartDr. Daniel Reichart, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will undertake a research and educational program to study gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Recent work indicates that GRBs result from the deaths of massive stars, during their transition to black holes. They are the greatest explosions seen since the Big Bang, surpassing even supernovae explosions. Using a variety of telescopes, the PI will obtain well-sampled data at both early and intermediate times after the explosions, in both the optical and near-infrared wavelengths. The purpose of the research is to use GRBs to probe the early universe, and improve our understanding of GRB physics, their environments, and establish how diverse or uniform these events are. The PI will utilize much of the time on project telescopes for educational activities, in conjunction with the "NC PROMPT COLLABORATION", a collection of ten undergraduate institutions (including historically African-American and Native-American ones), and Morehead Planetarium and Science Center.
