To give an example, some of the most exciting research today focuses on the formation of stars in the Milky Way and other galaxies. The star-forming sites in the Milky Way, also known as dark clouds, can be studied at an amazing level of detail. We can actually see how individual stars and planets form in our neighborhood. However, if we turn to galaxies, even the best telescopes available today cannot resolve dark clouds at a meaningful level of detail. Astronomers have therefore developed tricks to study the structure of clouds they cannot resolve.
They study radiation from a variety of molecules, e. These are fascinating methods — but they have never been fully tested in the Milky Way. This teaches us lessons about star formation in the Milky Way and other galaxies. As part of this program, you will lead a small original research project that uses LEGO data. You will learn how to visualize and analyze the data from several astronomical observatories, and how to draw conclusions from the trends in the data.
You will do this as a member in an international collaboration that includes researchers from the US, the EU, Chile, and Japan. Successful projects are expected to produce results that will be published as parts of the LEGO papers. Mentor: Jens Kauffmann. We envision a three-student team project working on different aspects of AERO technology and science.
Possible projects could include but are not limited to : mission planning software, capturing and analyzing signals using prototype AERO RF sampling instrument, and science software aimed at accelerating the discovery of new phenomena. Many of those stars have exoplanetary systems, some already discovered and others still awaiting discovery. One emerging technique for discovering and characterizing exoplanets is the use of radio observations to search for magnetic interactions between stars and their planets.
The goal will be to reduce and image the interferometric data and then slice and dice it in time and frequency to search for radio emission from the star — or maybe from a planet! This project will provide experience using astronomical software such as CASA python-based and astropy as well as astronomical catalogs and associated tools.
Mentor: Mary Knapp. The student will further develop a software package to process seismic and geodetic data for Antarctic glaciology studies. The data will be collected by a novel seismogeodetic Ice Penetrator SGIP instrument and downloaded via satellite communications in near-real time after its expected Antarctic deployment in The data analysis includes, but is not limited to, handling miniSEED seismic data.
The ultimate goal of the project is to build a python science package that process SGIP seismic data automatically, generating data products and visualization tools relevant to Antarctic cryospheric science. Snow is a remarkable thermal insulator. As such, snow on top of sea ice has a very important role in the rate at which ice melts, and also grows in the Arctic Ocean.
It is a critical climate variable. Unfortunately, it has always been a real challenge to know how much snow there is on Arctic sea ice. The new technique known as GPS reflectometry whereby GPS signals are reflected off the snow surface may offer the possibility of estimating snow depth. The dataset will include a number of collocated glaciological and atmospheric sensors. The ultimate goal of the project is to build a science software package that can process GIB data automatically, generating data products and visualization tools relevant to Arctic cryospheric science, particularly time-varying snow depth.
The goals of the EHT include testing general relativity and furthering our understanding of the astrophysics of accretion and outflow processes around black holes. We strongly encourage these students to begin this process early as it may require several months to complete.
