An REU Site at Indiana University in Stellar Astrophysics and Beyond

REU站点：印第安纳大学恒星天体物理学和其他领域的REU站点PI、Constantine Deliyannis和合作者将继续运营印第安纳大学本科生研究体验（REU）站点。该项目在夏季将即将到来的大三学生带到印第安纳州布卢明顿，与教师和研究生导师一起进行为期10周的研究。学生们还将在位于亚利桑那州基特峰的威斯康辛-印第安纳-耶鲁- noao (WIYN) 0.9米望远镜上进行为期一周的观测。研究项目包括研究星团的性质，寻找和研究变星，以及确定恒星和星团的化学成分。所有的学生都在美国天文学会的会议上展示他们的研究成果。这个项目更广泛的影响包括为有前途的年轻科学家提供体验天文学研究的机会，并由此鼓励他们从事科学事业。该项目旨在招募服务不足的少数族裔和女性，并为她们提供研究经验，帮助她们进入研究生院。

REU SITE: An REU Site at Indiana University in Stellar Astrophysics and BeyondABSTRACTAST 0452975 DeliyannisThe PI, Constantine Deliyannis and collaborators will continue the operation of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Indiana University. The program brings incoming juniors seniors to Bloomington, IN for 10 weeks during the summer to undertake research with faculty and graduate student mentors. Students also participate in a weeklong observing run on the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO (WIYN) 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak, AZ. Research projects include studies of the properties of star clusters, searches for, and studies of, variable stars, and determination of the chemical composition of stars and star clusters. All students present their results at meetings of the American Astronomical Society. The broader impact of this program includes the opportunity for promising young scientists to experience research in astronomy, and the resulting encouragement to pursue careers in science. The program aims to recruit underserved minorities and women, and provide them with research experience that can help as they move on to graduate school.
