Theoretical Studies of Astronomical Masers

AST-0507421机构：University of Ukraine PI：Moshe ElitzurTitle：Theoretical Studies of Astronomical Masers摘要Dr.肯塔基州大学的Moshe Elitzur将继续进行天文微波激射器的理论研究。研究的目标包括：（1）大质量星星形成过程中的原恒星盘和外流;（2）演化恒星的拱壳;（3）星暴星系和活动星系核中心的秒差距和次秒差距尺度的结构。拟议研究的一个主要组成部分是与进行相关观测的观测小组密切合作。 拟议研究的更广泛影响将来自研究生的培训。

AST-0507421INSTITUTION: University of KentuckyPI: Moshe ElitzurTITLE: Theoretical Studies of Astronomical MasersABSTRACTDr. Moshe Elitzur, at the University of Kentucky, will continue a program of theoretical studies of astronomical masers. The topics targeted for research include (1) protostellar disks and outflows in high-mass star formation; (2) the circumstellar shells of evolved stars; and (3) structure at the parsec and sub-parsec scales at the centers of starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei. A major component of the proposed research is close collaboration with the observing teams conducting the relevant observations. Broader impact of the proposed research will result from the training of graduate students.
